Auster locks distracting apps at the operating-system level and turns an early exit into a logged failure with an AI-generated roast.

Field notes

The service frames focus as a declared mission rather than a recurring reminder. Its described enforcement differs by platform: iOS uses Family Controls and ManagedSettings, while Android uses usage statistics and a full-screen block wall. Sessions expose a ten-second abort delay, and the site says an interruption is permanently logged. The dashboard concept includes 13 weeks of streaks and failures, plus a focus-quality formula weighted toward completion rate. Availability is not fully clear because the page also labels store access as coming soon.
