Field notes
The page describes an app for choosing which distractions to block, plus a widget, a record of locked days, and a weekly emergency-unlock allowance. Its team mode is presented for meetings, classes, camps, and study groups: a leader shares an app list by QR code. The listed device is cast concrete, with no battery, screen, or lights; the site says each piece varies slightly in surface and tone.
