Frequently Asked Questions
Node is a physical device paired with an iOS app that helps you block distracting apps on your phone. Unlike software-only solutions, Node requires you to physically tap the device to start and end focus sessions—creating a tangible commitment to your attention and eliminating software loopholes.
It's simple: Choose which apps you want to block in the Node app, then tap your phone on the Node device to start a focus session. Your selected apps become inaccessible. To unlock them, you must physically return to your Node device and tap again. No workarounds, no exceptions.
