01 / THE PROBLEM

Motivation disappears.
Your system shouldn’t.

Most productivity apps help you arrange work. Exora helps you stay with it. When distraction appears, your focus session, protection settings, discipline mode, and accountability layer are already working together.

02 / THE SYSTEM

One focus loop.
Every escape route covered.

Set the work once. Exora carries the rhythm from intention to evidence.

Feature 01

Your focus day at a glance

Open Exora and see what you're working on today, your active discipline mode, and your next clear action. No inbox. No noise.

Pomodoro rhythm that runs itself

Set total duration and block size once. Exora auto-transitions: focus → short break → focus → long break every 4th round. No manual restarts ever.

Protection can be light friction, a quiet launcher, a full block, or a rule that keeps enforcing after Exora closes.

Enforcing now · works while Exora is closed

01

Recurring schedules

Block a set of apps on the days and time windows you choose — 9am–3pm on weekdays, every evening, any custom window. Rules run on their own clock, even when EXORA is closed.

02

Daily limits & open caps

Cap an app at, say, 45 minutes a day or a number of opens. When the limit is reached, it's blocked for the rest of the day — no session required.

03

Named windows you can read

Give each blocking window a name — Deep work, Study hall, Finals — and pick the days and hours on a simple day-and-time picker. Rules read like a plan, not a settings screen.

04

The shield that talks back

Open a blocked app and a full-screen shield appears with a line that sharpens every time you try again — gentle nudge to brutal call-out, matched to your discipline mode.

01

Gentle

Light-touch challenge

Supportive nudges and calm accountability. Breaks are easy to earn and the block-screen roast is a soft reminder — for building momentum without pressure.

30 days free
02

Balanced

Steady accountability

Clear, consistent pressure for everyday execution. A medium challenge stands between you and a break, and the roast keeps its edge without going hard.

30 days free
03

Strict

App blocking + hard challenge

Firm pressure when you're slipping. App blocking is fully active, earning a break takes a harder challenge, and quitting a focus block has to be a deliberate choice.

7 days free
04

Beast

Maximum intensity

The strongest tier. Brutal roasts that escalate every reopen, the toughest break challenge, and the fewest easy exits — for days you want no way out but through.

7 days free
04 / EVERYTHING INCLUDED

Not feature-rich.
Follow-through rich.

01

Pomodoro rhythm engine

Auto-transitions between focus blocks, short breaks, and a long break every 4th round. Pick block size (15 / 25 / 45 min) and break lengths once — the timer runs the whole rhythm.

02

Focus Pools — group accountability

Create a goal room with a start and end date, invite people by code, or discover public pools. Completed pool sessions build member progress, rankings, and shareable proof.

03

Session protection modes

Choose Minimalist, Blocking, or Both. EXORA can quiet your launcher, block selected distracting apps during focus, or combine both protections.

04

App & website categories

Sort apps and sites into Distracting, Friction-delayed, Always-allowed, and Never-allowed. Distracting feeds your focus score, Friction adds an open delay, Always-allowed is protected during every block, and Never-allowed is blocked around the clock and hidden behind device biometrics.

05

Website & adult-content blocking

Block specific websites and flip on a bundled adult-site filter. On Android EXORA reads the browser address bar; on Windows the ExoraGuard service blocks domains system-wide via the hosts file — both keep working while the app is closed.

06

Automatic rules that run on their own clock

Set recurring block windows — which apps and sites, on which days, between which hours — and EXORA enforces them without a focus session, even with the app closed. The home-screen widget shows when a rule is enforcing live.

07

Scheduled sessions with alarms

Plan tomorrow's deep work today. Set date, time, Pomodoro rhythm, and protection level. An alarm fires at start time — tap to launch straight into the session.

08

Roast-before-you-quit

Exora challenges you before allowing pause or exit during a focus block. Roast intensity scales with your discipline mode — from gentle reminder to brutal call-out.

09

Focus Wrap — your story in slides

Open Focus Wrap for any week, month, year, or all time to get a story-style breakdown: total focus time, streak, peak window, Pomodoro rounds, and a shareable summary card.

10

Account sync and recovery

Sign in to sync your profile, settings, focus history, streaks, scheduled sessions, usage, and push token so your phone data can follow your account.

11

Privacy-first permissions

Before Android Accessibility is enabled, EXORA shows an in-app disclosure explaining what it uses, why it is needed, and what it does not read.

05 / ACCOUNTABILITY

Focus is stronger
when it leaves proof.

Focus Pools turn a shared goal and date range into visible participation, rankings, and shareable progress. Join with a code or discover a public pool.

  • Goal rooms with a start and end date
  • Completed sessions update member progress
  • Owner controls and safety protections
  • Exportable rank cards

07 / MANAGED MODE

One focus policy.
A whole room aligned.

For companies, schools, libraries, and events that need focus across many Android and Windows devices.

01

Enroll by QR or code

Create an organization, then enroll phones and PCs with an enroll code or a quick QR scan. Print a poster and a whole room joins in seconds.

02

One policy, every device

Set what's blocked, on which days and hours, and the discipline level — once. Every enrolled device pulls the policy and enforces it natively.

03

Live device dashboard

See which devices are online right now, when each last checked in, and a per-device breakdown of violations, success rates, and busiest days.

04

Sessions & events with door check-in

Spin up a session for a class, an exam, or an event — its own blocklist, schedule, attendee roster, and a printable QR flier. Scan people in at the door, even offline; it syncs when signal returns.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Powerful protection without surveillance.

Account sync status+

After sign-in or email verification, EXORA syncs this phone with your account and shows whether data is syncing, synced, or waiting for connection.

Accessibility disclosure+

Before Android Accessibility is enabled, EXORA explains that it uses foreground app/window-change events and opened app name/package only for app blocking.

Installed app picker+

EXORA lists installed launchable apps so you can choose what to block or delay. The picker is for user control, not advertising or tracking.

Website blocking+

On Android, EXORA reads the current tab's domain from the browser address bar only to check it against your block list. On Windows, the ExoraGuard service maps blocked domains to 0.0.0.0 in an isolated, clearly-marked section of the hosts file and leaves the rest untouched. No browsing history is stored or transmitted.

Never-allowed lock+

Your Never-allowed list is hidden behind your device's own biometric or PIN. EXORA only asks the system to authenticate — it never sees or stores your fingerprint, face, or passcode.

Local and cloud data+

You can use EXORA locally, or sign in to keep progress, streaks, settings, scheduled sessions, and Focus Pool progress connected to your account.

10 / QUESTIONS

The details
matter.

Everything you need to know before Exora starts protecting your time.

01Is Exora a general productivity app?+

Not really. Exora is built around accountability, follow-through, and execution — whether you're working on personal goals or competing with a group through Focus Pools.

02What is a Focus Pool?+

A group accountability room. You create it with a goal, a date range, and an invite code. Completed pool sessions log to a ranked leaderboard. You can export your rank card as an image and share it from your device.

03What is the Pomodoro rhythm engine?+

Exora auto-transitions between focus blocks (15 / 25 / 45 min), short breaks (5 / 10 min), and a long break every 4th round. You configure it once at session setup — the timer runs the entire rhythm automatically, including break countdowns.

04Can Exora actually block distracting apps?+

Yes — on Android and Windows. On Android, Blocking and Both modes use Accessibility to detect selected apps and cover them with a full-screen shield; a prominent in-app disclosure is shown before the permission is enabled. On Windows, a native shield and the ExoraGuard watcher do the same, with a kernel-enforced AppLocker tier for managed Enterprise/Education devices.

05Can Exora block websites too?+

Yes. Add domains to your Never-allowed list, or turn on the built-in adult-site filter, and EXORA blocks them around the clock. On Android it reads the address bar in supported browsers and shows the shield; on Windows the ExoraGuard service blocks the domains system-wide through the hosts file. Both keep working while the app is closed.

06What are the app categories?+

Every app or site can go into one of four buckets. Distracting flags your heaviest apps and docks your focus score when you overuse them. Friction-delayed adds a short speed-bump before an app opens. Always-allowed is never blocked by anything — protected during focus, rules, and blocks. Never-allowed is blocked 24/7 and kept behind your device's biometric lock so it can't be casually turned off.

07What are automatic rules?+

Rules are always-on blocking that runs without a focus session. Set a recurring schedule (which apps and sites, on which days, between which hours) or a daily limit / open cap, and EXORA enforces it on its own clock — even when the app is closed. A rule can Block the listed apps or Allow-only them (blocking everything else). Each rule window can be named, the home-screen widget shows when one is enforcing, and opening a blocked app shows the escalating shield.

08What is Managed Mode?+

Managed Mode lets a company, school, library, or event run focus across many devices. Create an organization, enroll phones and PCs by QR or code, and push one blocking policy to all of them. A live dashboard shows online devices and per-device violations, and you can run sessions or events with an attendee roster and QR door check-in that works offline and syncs later.

09How does the free run work?+

The free run is a mode-specific window, no card required. Gentle and Balanced modes get 30 free days of unlimited focus; the intense modes — Strict and Beast — get 7. When you subscribe, the store's free trial (3 / 7 / 14 days depending on plan) stacks on top.

10What do the discipline modes change?+

Gentle through Beast set how hard EXORA pushes: how strong the block-screen roast is and how fast it escalates on repeat attempts, how hard the challenge to earn a break is, and whether you can abandon a focus block freely. Gentle is a soft nudge; Beast is maximum intensity with the fewest exits.

11What happens when I try to quit during a focus block?+

Exora shows a roast modal before allowing you to pause or end the session. The message gets harsher depending on your discipline mode — Gentle is supportive, Beast is brutal. You can still quit, but you have to choose to.

12What is Focus Wrap?+

Focus Wrap is a story-style recap of your focus history. Choose a period (week, month, year, or all time) and swipe through full-screen slides: total focus time, Pomodoro rounds, longest streak, peak window, and the protection mode you used most. The final slide is a shareable card image.

13Which platforms does Exora support?+

Android has the fullest protection — accessibility app blocking, website and adult-site blocking, app categories, the minimalist launcher, automatic rules, managed mode, notifications, a live rule-status widget, and scheduled sessions. Windows adds a native desktop shield, the ExoraGuard watcher, hosts-file website blocking, plus a kernel-enforced AppLocker tier for managed Enterprise/Education fleets. iOS is planned.

14What syncs when I sign in?+

Your profile, preferences, focus history, streaks, stats, scheduled sessions, activity logs, usage counters, and notification token can sync to your EXORA account. Dashboard and Profile show sync status so you know when account data is current.

15What subscriptions are planned?+

EXORA Pro is available as Weekly ($2 USD/week, 3-day free trial), Monthly ($9 USD/month, 7-day free trial), and Annual ($40 USD/year, 14-day free trial). Pro unlocks unlimited focus sessions, the full protection tools — app blocking, app & website categories, friction delays, website and adult-site blocking, and automatic rules — plus account sync, Focus Pools, advanced insights, scheduled sessions, and priority product improvements. When the free run ends, these blocking features pause until you subscribe (managed-mode devices are unaffected).

16How are Focus Pools kept safe?+

Public pool names, goals, and member display names are guarded against unsafe content. Pool owners can remove members or block members from rejoining a pool.

THE NEXT SESSION STARTS WITH ONE DECISION.

Put your focus
somewhere safe.
