Hi HN!

Super proud to showcase Foqos! I wanted to create a way to physically block apps on my phone, always had a bunch of NFC tags, combined the 2 together over the holiday break and Foqos was born. You can create profiles, write them to NFC tags and track your weekly focus.

Its completely open source and will always be free! There is an affiliate link in the app for nfc tags and donations are completely optional

This is awesome, yay for an open source https://getbrick.app/

I'm curious if you have an NFC tag that you'd recommend or that you like to use?

Yeah there is tags in the app you can buy that just links out to Amazon, just a disclaimer it is an affiliate link.

Otherwise this is what I had around the house: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B075MD13Z7
