I noticed that there will be a subscription option for the app. What will the subscription have that the free version will not (if there even is one)

Launching another focus app huh, but how does this really differ from the native iOS focus settings, it feels kind of redundant honestly and what's unique about that "Pact with yourself" feature, just sounds like a gimmick to me

Honestly, looks like another app that duplicates stuff native iOS focus settings already do why not explain what's unique or add fun themes for Scenes or sync with productivity apps like Trello?

Congrats on the launch guys, but im kinda confused, how is this really any different from the built-in focus settings on iPhone apart from some fancy naming, sounds like another app cluttering my phone idk

Hey, this looks really similar to iOS focus modes, not sure if I'd use it much honestly like what do you offer that's different from blocking apps plus if the hidden apps are still there won't people just go looking for them anyway maybe you could add a feature that tracks how long you stay in a scene or something for those of us who need a bit more accountability

Congrats on the launch, but isn't this just a fancy way of locking apps that's already on iOS? Also, what if someone needs an app that's hidden for an emergency, might be useful to think about customizable quick access options.

Loving the idea of an app that curbs digital distractions and helps us stay focused its such a great innovation, these custom scenes sound super helpful, I do wonder though the difference between this and the iOS focus modes will be interesting to see how it compares and adds value keeping distractions at bay is always a win congrats on the launch, much needed tool in today's digital age!

Found the app randomly, I've gotta say, I don't really see how this is different from just using the native focus settings on iOS, feels a bit redundant if you ask me, maybe adding some more unique features like integrating with smart home devices or some gamification elements could make it stand out more

Stumbled upon your app through an ad, not sure why I'd use this over iOS Focus or Forest, it feels kinda redundant, you really need to show how it's any different or better otherwise it's just another app cluttering my phone

🌟 Congrats on the launch! You’ve brought something wonderful into the world. I’ll use it and I’m sure it will benefit so many others as well. Keep shining brightly! @yishan_song

This sounds really interesting, @yishan_song! I'm curious how the "Pact with yourself" feature actually works in practice. Does it remind you to stay focused at certain intervals, or is it more of a self-tracking thing? Also, how customizable are the Scenes? Can you share any examples of how users have set them up for better productivity? Looking forward to seeing how this app helps with digital distractions!

This concept of creating custom "Scenes" sounds really interesting, @yishan_song! Have you considered any specific use cases or scenarios where users might benefit the most from this feature? Also, I'm curious about how the Pact feature works – does it offer reminders or notifications to keep you accountable? Looking forward to seeing how SceneEscape evolves with user feedback. Upvote for the innovative approach to tackling digital distractions!

Hey, loving the idea, it's pretty cool to see an app designed to help us stay focused in a world of distractions, think the Pact feature is gonna really help boost motivation, also appreciate the founder's effort here, keep up the great work!

Congrats on the launch! What’s the difference between the iOS native focus configurations?

Congrats @yishan_song on launching SceneEscape! 🎉 This is such a brilliant idea for tackling digital distractions—custom “Scenes” sound like a game changer for productivity enthusiasts.

@yishan_song, this is a solid idea! Managing digital distractions is like trying to tame a wild beast. Love the concept of “Scenes” — finally, an app that respects my need for focus!
