CogniFocus
Focus Timer & App Blocker With A Goblin That Fights Back
You open Instagram mid-session. The Goblin catches it and calls you out before one scroll becomes an hour. CogniFocus is an Android app blocker + focus timer that interrupts distractions — not just tracks time. → Blocks TikTok, Instagram & more mid-session → Goblin reacts when you drift or finish strong → Recovery nudges keep the session alive → Streaks and XP build the habit Free to start. PH10OFF = 1 month Pro free.
I’m Qasim, founder of CogniElevate and maker of CogniFocus.
This is my first product, bootstrapped and built from a problem I kept running into myself.
I’d start a focus timer, then still end up switching apps mid-session without even noticing.
The timer kept running, but my focus was already gone.
The bigger pain was not just distraction.It was the time wasted after it.
One “quick check” turns into 10 minutes, then 20, then the whole session feels lost.
So, I built CogniFocus to help protect focus time, not just track it.
It combines:
a focus timer
Distraction Shield app blocking
streaks and XP
recovery nudges
a Goblin companion that reacts when you start, drift, or finish
Sometimes it roasts you. Sometimes it praises you. Less like a timer.
More like someone saying: bro, stay here.
Would love feedback from the PH community:
Does the companion angle make focus feel more motivating or would it get annoying over time?
