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.
