Android setup
Any Android phone with NFC. Takes about two minutes.
1
Install Phocus
Download Phocus from Google Play (listed there as "My Phocus") and create an account.
2
Allow notifications and Do Not Disturb access
When Phocus asks, allow both. Phocus then silences messages and app notifications during a session. Calls from starred contacts and repeat callers, alarms and media still come through.
Missed the prompt? Settings > Apps > Special app access > Do Not Disturb access > Phocus.
3
Turn on NFC
Open your phone's settings and switch on NFC (often under Connected devices; the name differs per phone maker).
4
Start your first session
Pick a Phocus block and tap Start. Hold the middle of the back of your phone to the Phocus Mat, then lay it flat. Lifting your phone pauses the session; tap it on the mat to resume. Stay on the mat until the block ends to earn your Phocus Points.
