Threshold - A Minimal Focus Launcher
The offline focus launcher you can’t willpower out of
Most focus apps fail because quitting is just one lazy tap away. Threshold is an Android launcher that replaces your home screen with real exit friction. Pick a mode (Work, Study, Sleep, Meditate) and lock in. Choose your strictness level—up to a full launcher takeover with deliberate cooldown delays. Features built-in doom scroll protection to cut off short-form video feeds. 100% offline, zero data collection, no accounts, and no internet access required.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Threshold because I was tired of lying to myself with standard focus timers. Every time I set a block on Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, my thumb would automatically bypass the popup within 5 seconds without thinking. Willpower simply loses when an app is engineered by hundreds of developers to keep you hooked.
I realized timers aren't enough—I needed an environment change.
Threshold turns your whole device into a minimal sanctuary. Instead of an easily dismissed overlay, it acts as your launcher with intentional exit friction:
• Tiered Strictness: From a simple cooldown delay up to a strict "Hard Mode" launcher takeover that makes quitting take deliberate effort.
• Doomscroll Shield: Keeps your essential utility apps reachable while cutting off infinite feeds.
• Completely Offline: No accounts, no servers, no telemetry, and zero internet permission. Your focus data stays strictly on your phone.
The core modes, launcher, and blocker are free forever. I'd love your honest feedback, especially on whether the exit friction feels balanced or needs tweaks.
Drop a comment below and I'll send over a promo code for 1 year of premium access so you can put Hard Mode to the test!
