FocneraGet Focnera Create a Gym Time schedule for your usual workout days and hours. Select distracting apps rather than the tools you need for exercise, so your session can stay focused while music, training notes, or a gym pass remain accessible.
Gym Time
- Repeats
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday
- Time window
- 18:00 – 19:15
- Consider blocking
- Social feeds and unrelated video or shopping apps
- Keep available
- Workout tracker, music, gym pass, and essential contacts
- Optional reminder
- Back to your workout.
These are suggested settings, not a built-in preset. Select the apps and hours that fit your needs.
Try it step by step
- Check how you access the gym, follow your workout, and play music before selecting apps to pause.
- Open Schedules, choose New schedule, and name it “Gym Time”.
- Choose your repeating days and time window. The example below uses 18:00–19:15; adapt it to your routine.
- Select the apps to block, optionally add a reminder message, and save the enabled schedule. Required protection permissions must be granted.
- If your workout time varies, adjust the schedule or use a manual focus session on irregular days.
Separate the useful phone from the distracting phone
A phone can hold your training plan and also pull you into a feed between sets. Choose the latter apps for blocking while leaving the plan and tools available.
If a single app contains both required workout content and distractions, blocking the whole app may not suit this routine. Focnera does not selectively hide a feed within an app.
Include the time you actually need
Build a window around the workout you intend to do, rather than an aspirational duration. Consider whether travel time belongs in the same window or requires maps and messages.
The schedule supports an attention boundary. It does not track exercise, prescribe a workout, or guarantee training results.
Common questions
Can Gym Time block only social features inside my fitness app?
No. Select apps to restrict as a whole. Leave a fitness app available if you need its workout or tracking features.
What if I need to change today’s plan?
Pause the current schedule window when needed. Its apps can remain blocked by another active schedule or manual focus session. Edit or disable the schedule when you want to change the repeating routine.
