Flipd: Focus & Study Timer
What is the 'Full Lock' mode in Flipd?
Full Lock is the app's most restrictive focus mode. It completely blocks you from exiting the Flipd app or using any other apps on your phone until your timer ends, with the only override being a lengthy passcode you set in advance.
Can I use other apps like Spotify while in a Flipd focus session?
Yes, you can use the 'Partial Lock' mode. This allows you to whitelist specific essential apps, such as Spotify for music or a calculator for work, so they remain accessible while other distracting apps are locked.
What should I do if a Flipd timer doesn't lock my phone correctly?
First, try restarting the app and your phone. If the issue persists, use the in-app support form to report the bug. The support team typically provides helpful, human responses within a couple of days to resolve such technical glitches.
Is the community 'Study Groups' feature stressful or distracting?
It can be for some users. While it shows others studying in real-time for motivation, some find the notifications and visible activity create a sense of silent competition, which can add stress instead of fostering focus.
How does Flipd compare to a simple timer app like the built-in Clock timer?
Unlike a basic timer, Flipd actively prevents phone use with its lock features, breaking the autopilot habit of checking your phone. A simple timer only alerts you when time is up but doesn't stop you from getting distracted in the meantime.
