The fight is the same in every Ethiopian home tonight: TikTok instead of homework, Shorts instead of sleep, hidden browsers instead of revision. FocusApp is the only parent control built here, in your language, that actually blocks — so the phone stops winning and your child starts focusing again.
Because every other "screen time" tool is just a polite notification your child ignores. FocusApp is the only one built for Ethiopian homes that actually closes the app, locks the browser, and gives the parent the final word.
The moment study mode starts, TikTok closes, Shorts won't open, and the secret browser the kids found last week is blocked too.
The rule lives on the phone, not on you. No more shouting at 10 PM, no more taking the device away, no more guilt.
Made in Ethiopia, for Ethiopian routines — Amharic, Afaan Oromoo and English, with local payment and a team you can actually call.
You already know. The grades are slipping. The eyes look tired. The phone is on the pillow. You have tried hiding it, taking it, threatening — and nothing holds for more than two days.
Install once. Set study hours. Lock the PIN. By day three, the homework battle is shorter. By day seven, the phone is no longer the loudest voice in your house.
Test scores rise when homework actually happens. FocusApp gives your school a credible answer to every parent who asks "what are you doing about phones?" — and it works after the bell, where your authority ends.
Most parents wait too long because they think it will be complicated. It isn't. Tonight is enough.
Download FocusApp on your child's Android phone and set the parent PIN.
Choose the hours that matter — homework, exam season, sleep. We do the rest.
Distractions go dark. Browsers stay clean. Your child finally has a quiet workspace.
One short summary. Real numbers. A conversation with your child that isn't a fight.
Less than a single delivery order per month. Less than the data your child burns on Shorts in a week. Cancel anytime — but you won't want to.
This is what changes in a real Ethiopian home in the first month.
I used to take the phone, hide it, fight about it every night. With FocusApp the phone just turns off the apps at 7 PM. He stopped arguing with me — he started arguing with the phone, then he gave up and opened his book.
Mother of a Grade 8 student, Adama, EthiopiaWe piloted FocusApp with one section. Homework completion went from 'sometimes' to almost every day. Now parents are asking us to roll it out to the whole school — and they are willing to pay for it.
Principal, private K–12 school, BishoftuForeign screen-time apps were not built for our children, our languages, our schools or our payment systems. FocusApp was.
Honest answers. No small print.
No. FocusApp uses parent-PIN protection so the app cannot be removed, disabled or reinstalled without your code. If they try, you see it in the report.
Calls and SMS are never blocked. You can also tap "Emergency unlock" with your PIN at any moment to give full access for 15 minutes.
Yes. FocusApp is built and tested for the Android phones Ethiopian families actually use, not just flagship devices.
Telebirr, Chapa, or bank transfer in ETB. No foreign card required.

“The phone is already in your child's hand. The only question is who decides what it does next — the algorithm, or you.”
FocusApp — built in Ethiopia, for Ethiopian families and schoolsበየኢትዮጵያ ቤት ውስጥ ዛሬ ምሽት ያለው ጭቅጭቅ አንድ ነው፦ ከቤት ስራ ይልቅ TikTok፣ ከእንቅልፍ ይልቅ Shorts፣ ከትምህርት ይልቅ የተደበቀ ድረ-ገጽ። FocusApp በቋንቋዎ የተሰራ፣ በእውነት የሚያግድ ብቸኛው የወላጅ ቁጥጥር ነው — ስልኩ ማሸነፉ እንዲቆም፣ ልጅዎ እንደገና ትኩረት እንዲሰጥ።
ምክንያቱም ሌሎቹ "screen time" መሣሪያዎች ሁሉ ልጅዎ የሚያልፋቸው ጨዋ ማስታወሻዎች ብቻ ናቸው። FocusApp ለኢትዮጵያ ቤቶች የተሰራ፣ መተግበሪያውን በእውነት የሚዘጋ፣ ድረ-ገጹን የሚቆልፍ፣ የመጨረሻውን ቃል ለወላጁ የሚሰጥ ብቸኛው ነው።
የጥናት ሁነታ ሲጀምር TikTok ይዘጋል፣ Shorts አይከፈትም፣ ልጆቹ ባለፈው ሳምንት ያገኙት ምስጢራዊ ድረ-ገጽም ይዘጋል።
ደንቡ በስልኩ ላይ ነው፣ በእርስዎ ላይ አይደለም። በ10 ሰዓት ምንም መጮህ የለም፣ ስልኩን መውሰድ የለም፣ ጥፋተኝነት የለም።
በኢትዮጵያ ለኢትዮጵያ ቤተሰብ ሕይወት የተሰራ — አማርኛ፣ አፋን ኦሮሞ እና እንግሊዝኛ፣ የአካባቢ ክፍያ እና በእርግጥ ሊደወልለት የሚችል ቡድን።
ራስዎ ያውቁታል። ውጤቱ እያሽቆለቆለ ነው። ዓይኖቹ ደክመዋል። ስልኩ ራስጌ ላይ ነው። ሊደብቁት፣ ሊወስዱት፣ ሊዝቱት ሞክረዋል — ምንም ከሁለት ቀን በላይ አልዘለቀም።
አንዴ ይጫኑት። የጥናት ሰዓታትን ያዘጋጁ። PIN ይቆልፉ። በሶስተኛው ቀን የቤት ስራ ጭቅጭቅ ያጥራል። በሰባተኛው ቀን ስልኩ በቤትዎ ውስጥ ከፍ ያለ ድምፅ መሆኑ ያቆማል።
የቤት ስራ በእውነት ሲሰራ ውጤቶች ይነሳሉ። FocusApp "ስለ ስልኮች ምን እያደረጋችሁ ነው?" ለሚል እያንዳንዱ ወላጅ የሚያሳምን መልስ ይሰጣል — ደወሉ ካለፈ በኋላ፣ ስልጣንዎ በሚያበቃበት ቦታ ይሰራል።
ብዙ ወላጆች የሚዘገየው ውስብስብ ነው ብለው ስለሚያስቡ ነው። አይደለም። ዛሬ ምሽት ይበቃል።
FocusApp በልጅዎ Android ስልክ ያውርዱ እና የወላጅ PIN ያዘጋጁ።
አስፈላጊ የሆኑ ሰዓታትን ይምረጡ — የቤት ስራ፣ የፈተና ጊዜ፣ እንቅልፍ። ቀሪውን እኛ እናደርጋለን።
አስተጓጎሎች ጨለማ ይሆናሉ። ድረ-ገጾች ንፁህ ይሆናሉ። ልጅዎ በመጨረሻ ጸጥ ያለ ቦታ ያገኛል።
አንድ አጭር ማጠቃለያ። እውነተኛ ቁጥሮች። ከልጅዎ ጋር ጭቅጭቅ ያልሆነ ውይይት።
በወር አንድ የምግብ ማድረሻ ትዕዛዝ ያህል አይደለም። በሳምንት ልጅዎ በ Shorts ላይ ከሚቃጥለው ዳታ ያነሰ ነው። በማንኛውም ጊዜ ሊሰርዙ ይችላሉ — ግን አይፈልጉም።
በመጀመሪያው ወር በእውነተኛ ኢትዮጵያዊ ቤት ውስጥ የሚቀየረው ይህ ነው።
ስልኩን ለመውሰድ፣ ለመደበቅ፣ ስለ እሱ ለመጨቃጨቅ ለምጄ ነበር። በ FocusApp ስልኩ በ7 ሰዓት መተግበሪያዎቹን በራሱ ይዘጋል። ከእኔ ጋር መጨቃጨቅ አቆመ — ከስልኩ ጋር መጨቃጨቅ ጀመረ፣ ከዚያም ተወው እና መፅሐፉን ከፈተ።
የ8ኛ ክፍል ተማሪ እናት፣ አዳማ፣ ኢትዮጵያFocusApp በአንድ ክፍል ሞክረን ነበር። የቤት ስራ መሞላት ከ "አንዳንድ ጊዜ" ወደ ሁልጊዜ ማለት ይቻላል ተቀየረ። አሁን ወላጆች ለጠቅላላ ት/ቤቱ እንድናስፋፋ እየጠየቁን ነው — ለመክፈልም ዝግጁ ናቸው።
ርዕሰ መምህር፣ ግላዊ K–12 ት/ቤት፣ ቢሾፍቱየውጭ screen-time መተግበሪያዎች ለልጆቻችን፣ ለቋንቋዎቻችን፣ ለትምህርት ቤቶቻችን ወይም ለክፍያ ስርዓቶቻችን አልተሰሩም። FocusApp ግን ተሰርቷል።
ሐቀኛ መልሶች። ምንም ጥቃቅን ጽሁፍ የለም።
አይችልም። FocusApp በወላጅ-PIN ጥበቃ ይጠቀማል ስለዚህ ያለ ኮድዎ ሊወገድ፣ ሊቦዘን ወይም እንደገና ሊጫን አይችልም። ቢሞክርም በሪፖርቱ ላይ ይታያል።
ጥሪዎችና ኤስኤምኤስ ፈጽሞ አይዘጉም። እንዲሁም በ PIN በማንኛውም ጊዜ "አስቸኳይ ክፈት" በመንካት ለ15 ደቂቃ ሙሉ መዳረሻ መስጠት ይችላሉ።
አዎ። FocusApp የኢትዮጵያ ቤተሰቦች በእውነት ለሚጠቀሙባቸው Android ስልኮች ተሰርቷል እና ተሞክሯል፣ ለ flagship መሳሪያዎች ብቻ አይደለም።
Telebirr፣ Chapa ወይም የባንክ ሽግግር በብር። የውጭ ካርድ አያስፈልግም።
አዎ። ለትምህርት ቤቶችና ለወጣት ፕሮግራሞች የ30 ቀን ነፃ ፓይለት እናደርጋለን። ከታች ያለውን ፎርም ይጠቀሙና የት/ቤት ፓይለት ይጠይቁ።
“ስልኩ ቀደም ሲል በልጅዎ እጅ ውስጥ ነው። ብቸኛው ጥያቄ ቀጥሎ ምን እንደሚሰራ የሚወስነው ማነው — አልጎሪዝሙ ወይስ እርስዎ።”
FocusApp — በኢትዮጵያ የተሰራ፣ ለኢትዮጵያ ቤተሰቦችና ት/ቤቶች።ዝርዝሮችዎን ይላኩ፤ በቋንቋዎ — አማርኛ፣ አፋን ኦሮሞ ወይም እንግሊዝኛ — በአንድ የስራ ቀን ውስጥ እንደውልዎታለን።
