Focus timer and app blocker for studying: lock in and stop procrastinating
Hunker is a Pomodoro study timer with a real app blocker. Start a focus session and the apps you picked stay locked until your break. Open one out of habit and a calm "Back to study" screen covers it, with the time left. Your phone stops pulling you away, and your exam prep, homework and revision get done.
Made for students who can't focus with a phone nearby: high school, university and anyone studying for exams. Use it to stop procrastinating, break your phone addiction and lock in for deep focus or deep work. It's also for anyone who gets distracted easily, ADHD or not.
POMODORO STUDY TIMER
• Focus for 25, 50 or 90 minutes, with 5, 10 or 15 minute breaks
• Breaks start on their own when a focus session ends
• Keeps exact time with the screen off, and alerts you when focus or break ends
• Works offline: no internet needed for sessions, blocking or screen time
APP BLOCKER FOR STUDYING
• Pick the apps that distract you most (social media, games, video) and put them under a focus lock
• During a focus session, opening one shows the Hunker block screen instead
• Only the apps you pick are blocked. Calls, emergency apps and Settings always work
• No Accessibility permission: Hunker sees which app is open, never what is on your screen
FREE AND PRO
Free: the Pomodoro timer, blocking for up to 3 apps, and today's top 3 apps in screen time. It is not a trial.
Hunker Pro: block as many apps as you need, daily app limits, full screen time history, hard mode, focus schedules and focus stats. Monthly or yearly, cancel any time in Google Play.
HARD MODE (Pro)
• A strict mode for study sessions: no Stop button until your break, for days when self control runs low
• One quick check can't end your focus session
SCREEN TIME AND DAILY APP LIMITS
• An app usage tracker: see your screen time today, hour by hour, and your most used apps
• Give an app a daily time limit, like 30 minutes a day for a social media app. When it runs out, the app is blocked until midnight (Pro)
• Look back over your screen time for the last week or month (Pro)
• A simple digital detox: less doomscrolling and procrastination, more study time
FOCUS SCHEDULES (Pro)
• Pick days and a start time, and your study session starts on its own
• Good for fixed study hours, a revision timetable or homework after school
FOCUS STATS (Pro)
• Track your study time per day and week, and the sessions you finished
• See how often you tried to open a blocked app, and which apps you tried most
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your app list and screen time stay on your phone
WHY HUNKER ASKS FOR PERMISSIONS
• Usage access: to see which app is open, so it can block the apps you picked and count your screen time
• Display over other apps: to show the block screen
• Notifications, and alarms and reminders: to show the time left and end sessions on time
Each one is optional. Without them, Hunker works as a plain focus timer.

Co je nového
• Screen time is more accurate: apps that move between their own screens are now counted in full, so daily limits work as set.
• Blocking now catches apps that are slow to open.
• Text fits better on small phones and in Japanese, Korean, Russian and Polish.
