Overview

What Milo The Pup does and where to go next.

Milo The Pup

Milo The Pup is a focus app with a growing pup mascot. Use it to run focus sessions, block distracting apps, and track your progress.

What you can do

  • Run a Focus session with a timer, breaks, and optional app blocking
  • Create Focus rules for a repeating schedule
  • Check Home for today's focus time, your daily goal, top apps, and Milo
  • Add a home-screen widget (live session status when a focus block is running)
  • On iPhone, see an active session on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
  • Review History and Insights from your Milo sessions

Milo The Pup Plus

Plus is a yearly subscription. After setup, you need Plus to use the app. Buy or restore it through the App Store or Google Play.

iPhone vs Android

  • iPhone: Focus sessions and scheduled rules can block apps after you allow Screen Time access. Save a rule once so Milo can register the schedule with the system.
  • Android: Focus sessions can block apps after you allow Usage Access. You can create scheduled rules, but they are not enforced automatically yet.

App blocking needs a real phone.
