Learn on purpose
Time on sites like Khan Academy, Coursera, Udemy, Skillshare, DeepLearning.AI, and LinkedIn Learning builds your credit balance.
Learn. Earn. Spend.
Instead of forever-blocking distractions, Focus Coach makes you earn them — then coaches you when the balance runs out.
Spend with intention
Use credits on YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, X, TikTok, and other distraction sites — including gated YouTube playback when credits remain.
Get soft coaching
When credits are gone, choose how it feels: block, grayscale, redirect to learning, or pause the coach entirely.
Stay in control of the friction.
Pick how Focus Coach should feel when distraction credits run out. Start a focus session to lock the plan while you work. The new-tab start page shows today’s balance and the week so far.
