Do I need an account?
You need to sign in (Google or Apple OAuth) to actually start a block. Browsing the app, configuring blocks, picking lock types, and exploring settings all work without an account — but the Start button requires a signed-in user.
Why
Your account is what attaches your Pro unlock, your AI Focus plan, and future cross-device entitlements to a stable identity. Without it, there's nothing to verify against when you upgrade or move to a new Mac. For your profile we store your email, display name, and an optional age range.
How to sign in
- Open FocusDragon and click the auth pill in the sidebar (it says "Sign in" until you're signed in).
- Pick Google or Apple in the popover.
- Complete the OAuth flow in your browser — you'll be bounced back to the app on success.
- The sidebar pill switches to your name, and the Start button is now live.
What's stored server-side
- Account profile (email, display name, optional age range) on EU-hosted infrastructure managed by our authentication partner.
- Entitlement state (Free / Pro, trial status, payment customer ID). Card details live entirely with our payment partner — FocusDragon never sees your card number.
What stays on your Mac
Block lists, lock configurations, focus session history and statistics are stored locally and never uploaded. Cross-device sync of blocks is not shipping today — your blocks are tied to the Mac they were created on.
iPhone and iPad
FocusDragon for iPhone and iPad is available as a beta on the App Store. From the Mac app, open the iOS tab in the sidebar for a QR code and download link. Sign in with the same Google or Apple account; Pro purchased on Mac applies to that account on iOS where the iOS app recognises it.
