focus mechanics
Why normal blockers fail.
A normal website blocker asks your future distracted self to honour your past focused self. That is a bad contract.
The off switch is the product flaw.
If a blocker can be disabled in five seconds, it is not a commitment device. It is a reminder. Reminders help organised people; they do very little when the actual problem is compulsion, fatigue, or boredom.
Commitment beats motivation.
The useful pattern is simple: decide while calm, lock while tempted, recover only through a deliberate path. FocusLatch is being built around that pattern.
What early buyers should expect.
The alpha should prove one thing first: when a session is latched, browser switching and app quitting should not reopen the feed. Everything else comes after that.
