Dim describes an iPhone and Android app that uses an NFC sticker to block distracting apps and count focus time toward projects.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.
For
Phone users who want project-based focus sessions
Worth noticing
The page says any common NTAG sticker, available from about 30 cents, can serve as the physical focus switch.

Field notes

The described workflow pairs an NFC tap with both app blocking and project timekeeping; the page names client work, studies, and side projects as destinations for focused minutes. It says the user can export that time for time tracking and that any common NTAG sticker will work, estimating one at about 30 cents. App-store availability is marked as coming soon, so the page does not establish that the workflow is already available.
