Cut your screen time.
In one scan.
A stainless steel disc. Scan it with your iPhone and the apps you choose disappear — until you scan again.
The people who work at these companies put their phones down too.
A physical boundary for your attention.

How it works.
Set your apps once, then let the disc do the rest — one scan to block them, another to bring them back.

Everything lives in one quiet app.
One scan. The apps you chose turn off.
Pick the apps you want gone and start a session. They vanish from your phone and stay gone until you scan your Norma again.
- Blocking: One scan. The apps you chose turn off. Pick the apps you want gone and start a session. They vanish from your phone and stay gone until you scan your Norma again.
- Presets: A set for every part of your day. Build presets with their own name, icon and apps. Swipe between work, sleep or dinner and start the right one in a second.
- Hold to block: Start without the disc. Press and hold the button for three seconds to begin a session. Ending it still takes a scan, so stopping is never the easy way out.
- Timer: Set it, then forget it. Give the session a length. When the time is up it ends on its own and your apps come back.
- Hard lock: No way out until it ends. Lock a session for a set time. Until it runs out there is no way to unblock, not even by scanning your Norma.
- Wind-down: Focus that starts on its own. Choose a time in the evening and the session starts without you. Your apps are still blocked when you wake up, until you scan.
- Websites: Block the web on your Mac too. Choose the websites from your iPhone, and the same session clears them on your Mac.
- Insights: See the time you get back. Total focus time, today, this week and this month. Your current and best streak, your longest session, and the hours you focus most.
- Leaderboard: Compete, if you want to. Off by default. Turn it on to see how your focus time compares, and race the people who did the same.
- Achievements: Earn it, one session at a time. Hit streaks and milestones to unlock achievements. Small, satisfying proof that your quiet hours are adding up.
- Coming soon: Focus that knows where you are. Set a place on the map and the session starts the moment you arrive. To stop it, scan your Norma there or leave the area.
Your phone is engineered for engagement.

Questions, answered.
Norma blocks the apps you select and their notifications. When you scan the Unit Disc with your iPhone, the apps you chose become inaccessible and their notifications stop — scan again to restore access.
No. Norma currently works with iPhone only.
No — no subscription and no battery. Nothing to charge, no recurring fee, and no hidden cost.
Norma uses NFC. To activate it, place the top of your iPhone — near the camera area — against the disc. Heavy or thick cases can sometimes interfere with the signal and make the connection a little weaker; that's normal.
No. Norma works through your iPhone's built-in Screen Time, and nothing runs in the background — so there's no performance hit and no extra battery drain.
During setup, you choose which apps Norma will control. You can change it at any time by switching between different Focus modes directly from the app's home screen.
Yes — you can block distracting websites alongside apps, all grouped into your presets.
Norma includes a limited number of emergency unblocks you can use if you don't have your disc on hand.
