Focus Launcher — Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Summary

Focus Launcher does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. All information stays on your device.

What data does Focus Launcher store?

Focus Launcher stores the following data locally on your device to provide its core functionality:

• App categories — Which apps you've marked as essential or distracting.
• App open logs — When you opened a distracting app, and how long you spent in it. Includes the app's package name, timestamp, and session duration.
• Focus sessions — When you started a focus session and how long it lasted.
• Daily results — Whether you stayed under your daily limit each day, used for the streak display.
• Preferences — Your settings choices: daily limit, cooldown duration, quiet hours, clock format, and alternative action suggestions.

Where is the data stored?

All data is stored in a local database and shared preferences on your device. Nothing is transmitted over the internet. Focus Launcher makes no network requests of any kind — there are no servers, no analytics, no crash reporting services, and no advertising SDKs.

Accessibility service

Focus Launcher uses an Android accessibility service to detect when distracting apps are opened from outside the launcher (such as from notifications, widgets, or other apps). The service observes which app is in the foreground and shows a pause screen before distracting apps. It does not read screen content, keystrokes, or any text displayed in other apps.

Display over other apps

Focus Launcher uses the "Display over other apps" permission to show its pause screen on top of distracting apps so it cannot be bypassed. This overlay only appears when you open an app you've marked as distracting.

Data sharing

Focus Launcher does not share any data with third parties. There are no analytics providers, advertising networks, or data brokers involved. Your usage data never leaves your device.

Data deletion

You can delete all stored data at any time from Settings > Reset all data within the app. Uninstalling the app also removes all stored data.

Children's privacy

Focus Launcher does not knowingly collect any information from children. The app does not require an account and does not collect personal information from any user.

Changes to this policy

If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date. Since the app does not collect contact information, we cannot notify users directly — please check back periodically.
