Hush – A focus app enforcing strict digital discipline

Summary: Hush is a focus app designed to reduce phone addiction by enforcing strict usage limits and creating intentional friction. It prevents uninstallation and force-stops during focus sessions, breaking habitual scrolling through enforced mindfulness breaks.

What it does

Hush uses a "Strict Mode" that blocks apps aggressively by preventing their uninstallation or force-stopping during focus sessions and makes opening distracting apps intentionally difficult, requiring mindfulness to override.

Who it's for

It targets users who struggle with phone addiction and want a more forceful tool than typical wellness apps to regain control over their screen time.

Why it matters

Hush addresses the failure of willpower against dopamine-driven distractions by introducing physical and mental friction to disrupt mindless scrolling habits.
