Lock your apps by default to improve your digital wellbeing
Every wellbeing app punishes you. Tomosu does the opposite. Instead of blocking apps, Tomosu restricts everything by default — notifications, badges, gone. Start a Focus Session to unlock only what you need. 🔒 All apps locked by default. Calm is the starting point. 🎯 Focus Sessions with presets (Work, Study, Creative) 🏋️ SNS Challenge — shake your phone before scrolling 💰 Focus earns coins. Longer SNS use = fewer coins. 🔐 Apple Screen Time API. Data stays on device. Free. No ads. No guilt.

We're starting in Fujino (Sagamihara City) — a hidden gem art town just one hour from Tokyo, nestled in the mountains — a
