# Focus-Enhancing Smartphone Apps The 'Rocket' App Prevents Distractions By Helping a User Focus By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-06-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocket-app References: [betalist](https://betalist.com/startups/fastasarocket) & [fastasarocket](https://fastasarocket.com/?ref=betalist) The smartphone is a powerful tool that many users will mindlessly pick up throughout the day and thus break their focus, so the 'Rocket' app has been developed as a way to help [reclaim their attention](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-trainer). The app will work in a social media-inspired manner to provide users with posts to read, but will only offer access to one before requiring the user to do about 30-minutes of work. Users can set timers to keep themselves on task and even analyze their performance afterwards to see how much time they spend actually working to get a better understanding of their accomplishments. The 'Rocket' app takes a different approach to smartphone use and could help to rewire users who find it difficult to put their device down. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Focus-enhancing Apps:** The development of apps like Rocket demonstrate the potential of app development to help people focus and be more productive. - **Gamification of Work:** The Rocket app's social media-inspired interface presents an opportunity to gamify the act of focusing, making it more entertaining and motivating. - **Data-driven Focus:** Rocket's feature allowing users to analyze their performance presents the opportunity to develop more data-driven and personalized tools to help users improve their focus. ### Where This Applies - **Productivity Software:** The development of focus-enhancing apps like Rocket could help drive innovation in the productivity software industry. - **Social Media:** Rocket's social media-inspired interface presents an opportunity for innovation in the social media industry, particularly in enabling productivity rather than distraction. - **Self-improvement:** The trend towards using mobile apps to help people focus and be more productive presents an opportunity for innovation in the self-improvement industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anti-Distraction Smartphone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolt-app.md) - [Anti-Distraction CBT-Powered Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inscreen-app.md) - [Focus Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refocus-on-iphone.md) - [Distraction-Limiting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shrewd-observer.md) - [Screen Time Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepfocus.md) - [Focus Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intentional-app.md) - [Mindful Smartphone Usage Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intenty-app.md) - [Distraction-Minimizing Work Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-firewall.md) - [Distraction Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-zone.md)
