For those easily sidetracked, Kiki is a new app designed to enforce focused work sessions. It operates like a more stringent Pomodoro timer, blocking access to distracting apps and websites. Users specify a single task, designate allowed applications, and then Kiki creates a distraction-free zone, preventing escapes until the timer runs out. It's a simple, yet effective approach.

Kiki's core functionality revolves around single-tasking, a productivity technique proven to boost efficiency. The app tracks user focus over time, providing data on work habits. It also includes a few tongue-in-cheek testimonials. Available on Chrome and Safari, Kiki aims to address procrastination by removing temptations to open social media or other distracting sites.

Kiki is available for a monthly fee. This contrasts with the many free productivity apps, but the developers believe that paying for the service increases its value. The app's design offers a more aggressive approach to focus. The app's creators are based in New York City, and it is currently available for download.
