Guard your focus. Reclaim your time
What you get
Reclaim was built for exactly this.
The core features that make Reclaim different from the generic alternatives.
Two-tap focus
Open the app, tap an intention, and a focus session starts in under three seconds — no menus, no setup.
Intent gates
A gentle nudge meets you at the moment of craving, so opening a distracting app becomes a choice instead of a reflex.
Weekly insight
A simple graph shows where your focus actually went and how much time you reclaimed, refreshed every week.
Honest streak
Your streak counts real focused minutes per day and resets when you miss — no freezes, no bribes to keep it alive.
Quiet by design
Only two kinds of notification ever fire — a session ending and a streak about to break — and nothing else.
Stays in sync
Sign in with Apple and your sessions sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own iCloud account.
How it works
Three steps. No account. No tracking.
01
Download once
Install Reclaim from the App Store when the waitlist opens. No account setup — it works the moment you open it.
02
Use for ninety seconds a day
The product is designed so the useful thing takes less than two minutes. Anything longer and you stop. We know.
03
Notice what changes
Patterns surface after two to three weeks. The data is yours alone — no cloud, no report to anyone.
