About Catch the Ghost
We give your focus a reason to stay.
Smartphones are the most powerful attention machines ever built, and we can't give them up, because they're too useful. Catch the Ghost exists to even the fight.
We don't block your phone. We don't shame you for picking it up. We give your focus a reason to stay, and we make the reward worth the wait. Every 25 minutes of deep work, a mind that changed history joins your collection. Catch enough ghosts, and you stop noticing the scroll.
What the product actually is
A gamified Pomodoro timer for iOS and Android with a historical-figure collection as its reward mechanic. Focus for 25 minutes (or up to 120, depending on the task) and an apparition reveals itself pixel by pixel. Every ghost is a life told in ordered chapters, so what you catch is a quote they said, a story from their years, or an image from their world, and the last chapter closes their story for good. You build a library, earn coins, keep a streak, and climb a leaderboard. Deep Focus is for heavy cognitive work. Shallow Focus is for admin. Focus Together runs the same Deep Focus session in a room with up to eight friends, paying double to everyone who finishes when at least two of you do.
The free tier is genuinely free. Coins earned from focus sessions can be spent in the in-app Store on themed ghost packs (Great Strategists, Actors, Famous Japanese, Great Authors, and more), and inviting a friend earns you 3,000 more once they finish their first session. The Pro tier adds Legendary Ghosts, Premium Moods, the Sleep Timer with up to a 10x coin multiplier overnight, the Ghost Universe (a graph of connected figures), and Full History analytics.
What it is not
It is not a blocker. We do not restrict access to any app on your phone. The thesis is that reward works better than restriction, and ten years of behavioral science agrees.
It is not a guilt trip. Leaving a session forfeits the apparition you were catching, plus any coins you chose to stake on finishing, real stakes stated plainly, but nothing dies, no onboarding tells you you've wasted your life, and the language never calls you a failure. Your first three catches cannot be lost by accident at all, and a broken streak can be bought back. Streaks exist as a loss-aversion hook, not as the pitch.
It is not a subscription trap. Monthly, Annual, and a founding-member Lifetime tier sit side by side on the pricing page, with the prices stated in full. The App Store and Google Play handle the billing, never us. One-tap cancel.
