Included in the focus mode is a splash screen that pops up if users attempt to open blocked apps. Blocked apps are selected by the user and commonly include news, [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-feed1), [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sudo-focus), and [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-scale-browser-extensions).
