Getting started

FocusIN is in early preview. This quick guide shows how to start a session, connect the device simulator, and test unlock approvals.

Quick demo (single browser)

1. Open /rooms and set your display name.
2. Click Start a Focus Session to create a room and get a session code.
3. In the Device simulator card, the code should be prefilled. Click Enroll & Connect.
4. Enter a reason and minutes, then click Request unlock. In the Gatekeeper panel, click Approve or Deny.
5. When approved, the device shows Approved until HH:MM (local time).

Open the same room on another device

1. Find your session code (e.g., ABC123) on /rooms.
2. On the other device, open this URL with your code:
   Production: https://focusinapp.com/rooms?code=ABC123

   Custom domain (www): https://www.focusinapp.com/rooms?code=ABC123

   Local dev: http://localhost:3000/rooms?code=ABC123

   Gatekeeper view (optional): …/rooms?code=ABC123&role=gk
3. Pick a display name and role (Gatekeeper or Participant) and join the room.

Notes

• Only one pending request per device is allowed; duplicates are de-duplicated.
• The enrollment debug box is hidden by default. Append ?debug=1 to the URL to show it.
