Tap the Humanodoro Pad to start. Choose Phone-Free mode for real distance, or App Block mode to block the apps you select. Every session builds visible progress.
One Pad, two session modes in the free app. Pick the one that fits the moment.
Phone on the Pad
Phone-Free Mode
Deep work. Your phone lives on the Pad; lift it before the timer ends and the session breaks. No willpower required, just distance.
Distracting apps paused
App Block Mode
Some days the phone can't stay on the Pad, calls, maps, the group chat. So yes, we built an app blocker too; just the one we'd actually keep. The apps that eat your hours show a pause screen instead of a feed.
Been here before?
Tried app blockers? So did we.
Blockers live inside the same phone they're guarding, always three taps from “off.” The Pad is different: a real place your phone goes, out of your hand and in plain sight. You don't argue with a setting. You just see your phone resting where it belongs.
“Tried app blockers before, but they always annoyed me and I deleted them. Humanodoro isn't invasive. It feels more like building a habit than being locked out.”

"I used to check my phone constantly while working. Now I start a session, and when I feel the urge to grab my phone, the timer reminds me why I started. Most times, I keep going."

"Time with our kids was disappearing into our phones. We started putting them down together at the same time. Even the kids noticed. That alone made it worth it."

"I actually use this pad consistently. I was sceptical at first because I've downloaded many study apps which I sooner or later stopped using. But the actual pad somehow compels me to use it."

How It Works
See it in action.
01
Pick your length
Pick your session length.
From a quick 15 minutes to a 180-minute deep-work block. You decide how long the phone stays down.
02
Phone on Pad
Phone-Free: phone on the Pad.
Choose Phone-Free in the app and start your session with your compatible NFC phone on the Pad.
03
It stays, you focus
It stays. You focus.
Keep the phone on the Pad in Phone-Free mode. Prefer to carry it? App Block keeps selected apps blocked until time is up or you tap the Pad to end early.
04
Progress that sticks
Progress you can see.
Every session adds XP, levels, and a streak. Skip a day and the streak resets, so you keep coming back to the work.
Attention, by design
Built for a clearer focus routine.
Choose your session, put your phone on the Pad, and follow your progress in the app. A physical starting point and visible timer help you keep track of the time you chose to set aside.
