Field notes

Setup begins by selecting apps to silence; tapping the phone's top edge against the figurine starts a focus session, and another tap ends it. Calls, messages, and unselected apps remain available, while the FAQ describes a limited number of emergency openings. The figures are described as battery-free NFC tags, about 7 cm tall. The page says the product works with iPhone and that an Android version is in progress.
