About Pagewood

Pagewood is a focus timer and app blocker for Android that takes the phone out of your way while you work. The problem it solves: you sit down to study or work, and thirty seconds later you are in Instagram, Shorts or WhatsApp, and the hour is gone. Most timers just count down; they do not stop the apps that pull you away. Pagewood does both. Start a Pomodoro (25/5 or 50/10) or a one-off timer, and the distracting apps you choose are blocked at the system level until the session ends. Strict mode means you cannot quietly bail out — leaving the app counts as abandoning the session. Everything works offline, with no ads and no tracking. Who it is for: students and exam aspirants (UPSC, NEET, boards) who need long unbroken study blocks, and anyone doing deep work — coders, writers, designers. A daily focus goal and an exam countdown help keep the habit, and optional sign-in syncs focus sessions between the Android phone and the Windows desktop app. Pricing today: free. A one-time unlock (not a subscription) is planned for later, and everyone who joins before it ships is grandfathered as a founding user. Current status: live on Google Play as a "Focus & Study Timer: Pagewood". iPhone and Microsoft Store builds are in progress.
