How Mute Works

Five tools for
unbreakable focus

01

Timed Focus Sessions

Choose 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The Ensō circle tracks your progress as you go. Build a streak and watch your focus habit grow.

02

Instant App Blocking

Distracting apps are intercepted the moment you try to open them. Mute redirects you back — no willpower required.

03

Do Not Disturb

Notifications go silent automatically. No buzzes, no banners, no breaking your flow state.

04

Whitelist Control

Keep essential apps and important contacts reachable. You decide what gets through — maps, calls, messages.

05

Skin in the Game

Each session starts with a small commitment fee — a behavioral nudge grounded in loss aversion research. When you have something on the line, quitting gets a lot harder.

Why Mute charges a commitment fee

Most focus apps rely on willpower alone. Timers you can dismiss. Blockers you can disable. Mute is different.

Behavioral science shows that loss aversion — the fear of losing even a small amount — is one of the strongest motivators for behavior change. When you put money on the line, you're dramatically more likely to follow through.

That's what the commitment fee is. Not a subscription. Not a paywall. A commitment device.

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

What is Mute?

An Android focus app that blocks distracting apps and silences notifications during timed sessions. A small commitment fee starts each session — your skin in the game. No accounts, no data collection.

Why does Mute charge a fee?

It's a commitment device, not a paywall. Behavioral research shows that loss aversion — risking even a small amount — dramatically increases follow-through. It's the difference between intending to focus and actually doing it.

Does Mute collect my data?

No. Zero data leaves your phone. No analytics, no profiles, no tracking. Everything stays on-device.

Why the Accessibility permission?

Android requires it to detect when you open a blocked app. Mute never reads screen content or collects data through this permission.

How is Mute different from other focus apps?

Most focus apps rely on willpower alone. Mute adds a financial commitment, automatic Do Not Disturb, and collects zero data — features competitors charge monthly subscriptions for.
