Stay Focused 2.2.0

Improve your productivity level and stay focused using this neat application on your phone
Google Play Store is filled with all sort of applications that you can use in order to improve your productivity levels and get things done. One of such applications is Stay focused.

It shows you how much you use social apps on your phone and lets you monitor your usage. It comes with lots of interesting tools that you can use. It sports a really intuitive interface with lots of nice tools and a fluent layout.

Sleek UI with lots of tools at hand

The app needs a tutorial or an overview of its features and the tools that it may have. It doesn't really come with an explanation or some tips on how the app actually works. It doesn't have material design or a side menu with quick access to its features.

Still, it has some interesting tools that you can use in order to adjust settings inside the app and make the most out of it. The app is really useful when trying to stay focused and get work done. It's especially useful when you're trying to study and keep getting distracted.

Stay focused using this neat app

The first thing that you need to do inside the app is to pick your most used app, from a list provided on the screen. You get 10 minutes of usage per day, which might seem insufficient for some users who spend a lot more time on social networks or watching videos on YouTube.

Once the ten minutes are over, users can't open the applications again unless they tweak settings. You can adjust settings and change the maximum time allowed per day to up to 60 minutes, depending on how long you intend to use the respective applications.

More features and tools

Users can also set the days during which the app would restrict their activity and create a daily reset time. You can add as many applications as you want, but the app doesn't come with the option of setting a password, in order to block access for other users.

All in all, the app explores a really interesting idea although it would have been better if it had a PIN or password that you could use. It also needs to display a timer in the corner of the screen, so you would know for how long you've been using certain applications.
