Or just get a Bluetooth keyboard and connect it to you smartphone. But I guess the appeal is the reduced distractions in the screen. Is there an app that pauses any distractions (messages, calls, notifications, etc) so you can focus on the current foreground application?

Still to easy to get out of the focus mode. Procrastinators blindly go back to the distraction mode without knowing how/when they got there.

You don’t need an app iOS and Android have easy to access do not disturb modes you can schedule or manually enable.
