Looks like you drifted
Back to focus 5-min break01 Profile
Pick a persona — Founder, Freelancer, Student, or a few others. Anchor pre-fills a rule set that matches how you work.
02 Permission
Anchor reads your frontmost app and window title. One permission, revocable anytime, never touches your files or messages.
03 Go
Anchor watches silently. If you drift for 30 seconds, a small nudge appears — no alarm, no hard block.
Watches app, window title, and active browser tab URL. Knows the difference between Twitter and a Twitter DM with a client.
A small floating panel — "Back to focus", "5-min break", or "This is work". One tap and you're back. Never a hard lock.
Focus ratio, focused vs distracted minutes, nudge count, tasks completed. No streaks turned into guilt. Just data.
Set recurring focus windows — weekday mornings, deep-work blocks. Anchor starts automatically, no manual trigger.
All data lives on your device. No server, no account required. Window titles and URLs never leave your Mac.
Tap "This is work" once and Anchor remembers forever. Your overrides become permanent rules — no form to fill out.
Menu bar app. Watches every app and browser tab. Rich context-aware classification via Accessibility API.
Built on Apple's Screen Time stack. Works at the app and domain level — no content inspection, by design.
Beta is free. No subscription until we ship 1.0. We'll email you when your spot is ready.
