Most screen-time blockers fail because they punish the user. I designed one that rewires their psychology instead.
I just wrapped up the UI/UX for FocusHide a deep-work protocol designed to feel like a premium, luxury tool rather than a restrictive parental control app.
Instead of just putting up a brick wall, I designed three core UX loops to drive daily active usage and actually change habits:
⚡️ Autonomous Triggers: Geofenced deep-work zones (Library, Office) for zero-friction initiation.
🌬 Catch & Release: A 7-second "Breathe" intervention screen that breaks the subconscious muscle memory of doom-scrolling.
🏦 The Time Vault: Re-framing reclaimed time as a tangible "wealth" asset you build over time.
📝 AI Task Extraction: Automatically parsing your session's "intent" into a post-session checkout queue.
Would the 7-second "Catch & Release" intervention stop you from opening Instagram?

I designed and built a marketing site for a no‑code web experience builder, showcasing how teams can create, manage, and optimize modern websites. The hero focuses on clarity, strong hierarchy, and a product-first visual that highlights the app UI and key actions.
