How Nora works

Focus earns time.
Scrolling spends it.

Nora turns focus into screen time. You earn minutes by locking in — and the apps that usually pull you in cost minutes to open. Stay focused and you stay in the black. Burn through your balance and those apps lock. Nora's the ghost keeping the books.

Lock in to bank minutes

Start a Lock In session and every focused minute lands in your balance. Not focusing? A daily allowance tops you up each morning, apps you mark as good earn as you use them, and friends can send you their time.

Pick what drains you

Choose the apps that pull you in. Open one and your balance ticks down, minute for minute — put a daily cap on the worst offenders. Nora only ever watches the apps you pick, and nothing else on your phone.

Hit zero and they lock

Spend it all and your tracked apps lock. Press and hold and Nora will lend you five minutes — but you'll owe it back. The real way through the wall is to earn more.

Lock in with your circle

Open a Focus Room and pull in up to seven friends. Everyone sees each other's live timer, so nobody folds first. Break early and the room sees it too.

05Spend

Make Nora yours

The minutes you don't burn are yours to spend in the Shop — themes, ghost skins, Lock In scenes, widgets and app icons. Every minute on a time-sink is a minute you can't spend here.

The deposits

Four ways to earn

  • Lock In sessions. Focus solo or in a room — banked minute for minute.
  • A daily allowance. A few free minutes land each morning to start you off.
  • Good apps. Mark the ones worth your time and they earn as you use them.
  • Friends send time. Someone in your circle can spot you a few minutes.
The withdrawals

Two ways to spend

  • The apps that drain you. Every minute scrolling is a minute off your balance.
  • The Shop. Save instead, and spend on themes, ghost skins, scenes, widgets and icons.
  • That's the whole game — every minute goes one way or the other.
