Frequently asked questions about Quikr

A portion of your Quikr subscription goes directly to established marine protection partners like the WWF, who collect plastic from oceans and coastlines worldwide. Every focused minute on your iPhone contributes to this collection. Your personal ocean impact – measured in grams of collected plastic – is visible in real time inside the app.

Quikr works with established marine conservation NGOs, primarily the WWF. Partners collect ocean plastic from coastlines and open sea – the direct impact mechanism behind every focus session.

Per focus hour, our partners collect several grams of marine plastic on average. The exact amount varies with active cleanup operations – you see it live in the app. Your ocean impact grows with every focused minute.

Yes. In the app you can share your personal ocean impact progress as an image – on Instagram, WhatsApp or in private chats. You make visible how much plastic your focus has already saved.

Because your productive time then has double value: you become more productive AND the world gets better. Focused time without purpose is just time. Focused time with impact is change.

Quikr is the first focus app where every minute of focus on your iPhone removes real plastic from the ocean. A portion of every subscription goes to marine protection partners like the WWF. Quikr isn't another anti-phone app – it's productivity with purpose.

You activate focus mode in four ways: manually (3-second press), by schedule, via calendar integration, or location-based. Distracting apps disappear completely from your iPhone home screen. With the optional Quikr Key (NFC), you end focus via scan.

Quikr is currently available for iPhone (iOS 16 and newer). An Android version is planned based on demand.

Free in the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/quikr/id6754511784 – search for “Quikr”.

You can download Quikr for free and try basic features. For full focus impact – including the ocean impact contribution – you need a subscription: €4.99/month or €39.99/year.

Four: Manual focus (3-second press), schedule focus (recurring), calendar focus (automatic before events), location focus (based on place). All hide distracting apps completely from the home screen.

Press the focus circle in the app for 3 seconds. Focus starts immediately, your selected apps disappear from the iPhone home screen. You end it via Quikr Key or verified exit.

Connect your Apple Calendar. Quikr detects each event and automatically activates focus before departure – so you're never late again. For each event, you set individually how long beforehand focus starts.

Save places like office, library, university or gym. When you arrive, Quikr automatically activates focus. When you leave, apps return. Zero effort, 100% automatic.

Yes. Create recurring focus times – daily, weekly, or on specific days. Ideal for daily learning or deep work routines.

The Quikr Key is an optional NFC key that sits outside your iPhone. It's a physical barrier that ends focus mode only via scan. One-time price: €9.99.

No. The Quikr app works completely without hardware. The Quikr Key is an add-on that significantly increases success rate – because the key physically sits outside the phone.

No. The Quikr Key is completely passive, lasts forever, and never needs charging. NFC requires no power on the key side.

Every Quikr Key is 3D-printed in Berlin from plant-based plastic (PLA), hand-assembled and packed ourselves. No outsourcing, short shipping routes – sustainable production matching the mission.

Three emergency exits are available. You're never stuck in focus. But the bar is intentionally high – so distractions are actually blocked.

€4.99/month or €39.99/year (save 32%). The optional Quikr Key costs €9.99 one-time. Download and basic features are free.

Yes. You can download the app for free and use basic features before subscribing.

iOS Screen Time can be bypassed on the device itself – the key lives in the device. With Quikr, the key sits outside (Quikr Key or verified exit), apps disappear completely, and every focus minute funds marine protection.

None of the mentioned apps connect focus with real environmental impact. Quikr is the only focus app where your productive time flows directly into ocean plastic collection. Plus: physical NFC key instead of just software lock.

No. Quikr is for everyone who wants to be more productive AND have environmental impact. Students, professionals, parents, people with ADHD, sustainability-minded iPhone users. The question isn't “phone addiction”, it's “what should happen with my focused time?”.

Quikr is thoughtfully sustainable: digital part with direct ocean impact (plastic collection), physical Quikr Key from plant-based PLA, 3D-printed in Berlin, hand-assembled, short shipping routes.

On-demand 3D printing means: no overproduction, no manufacturing in Asia, no container shipping. Each Quikr Key is printed exactly when you order it.

As little as possible. Quikr primarily works locally on your iPhone. Details in our privacy policy at bequikr.app/privacy-policy.

No. Calendar integration runs locally on your iPhone. Quikr only sees start times to activate focus in time – no content leaves your device.
