Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about iFocus.
What exactly is iFocus?
iFocus is a gamification platform that turns your life into a video game. You create your 'Highest Self' (the future version of you), set 90-day seasonal challenges, and complete daily objectives to close the gap. It's not a to-do app or habit tracker — it's a game with real stakes, XP, levels, and an AI mentor that coaches you as your future self.
Is iFocus free?
Yes, Practice Mode is completely free. You get the full game mechanics — seasons, weekly missions, daily objectives, the Lock System, and streak tracking. Pro Mode ($33/season or $99/year) adds the AI Highest-Self Mentor, XP system, levels, and detailed alignment history.
How is this different from a habit tracker?
Habit trackers count your habits. iFocus transforms who you are. The difference: (1) You're playing as a specific character — your Highest Self — not just checking boxes. (2) 90-day seasons with pass/fail challenges create real stakes. (3) The Lock System means you pre-commit to objectives before the day starts, eliminating decision fatigue. (4) Your Alignment Score measures how closely you lived as your future self, not just what you did.
What's the 'Highest Self'?
Your Highest Self is the version of you that already has everything you want. It's a specific character you design — with a name, values, mindset, and communication style. When you play iFocus, you're asking 'What would my Highest Self do?' and then doing it. Over time, the gap between Present You and Future You closes.
What are seasons?
Seasons are 90-day campaigns aligned with calendar quarters (Winter: Jan-Mar, Spring: Apr-Jun, Summer: Jul-Sep, Fall: Oct-Dec). Each season, you commit to a Seasonal Challenge — one goal each for Athletic (A), Business (B), and Creative (C). Complete all three = pass. Miss any = fail. This pass/fail structure creates real stakes and teaches you to set better goals.
What if I miss a day?
Your streak breaks if you don't complete at least one objective. But you get 3 streak freezes per season for emergencies. The game is forgiving — one bad day doesn't ruin your season. What matters is getting back on track. Your Alignment Score that day will be low, but tomorrow is a fresh start.
What's the Lock System?
The Lock System is the core mechanic that makes iFocus work. You lock your commitments BEFORE the period starts: Lock Season → Lock Week → Lock Day. When you wake up, you don't decide what to do — you already decided last night. You just execute. This removes decision fatigue and creates accountability.
What's an Alignment Score?
Your Alignment Score (1-10) measures how closely you lived as your Highest Self that day. In Practice Mode, you self-rate. In Pro Mode, your AI Mentor rates you based on your objectives and reflections. A 9-10 means you basically were your Highest Self. A 5-6 means mixed. Below 5 means you slipped into old patterns.
What's the AI Mentor?
In Pro Mode, you get an AI Highest-Self Mentor — essentially your future self talking to you today. It provides personalized Morning Intel (daily briefings), Pulse Checks (mid-day check-ins), Evening Reviews (alignment scoring), and strategic guidance. It knows your Dream Reality and helps you stay aligned with who you're becoming.
Who is this for?
iFocus is for people who already know they need to level up but lack a system that sticks. If you've tried productivity apps, habit trackers, or goal-setting methods and they didn't work — or if you're going through a personal transformation and want structure — this is for you. We call our target user a 'reality hacker' — someone who understands life can be optimized.
What's a 'Founding Player'?
Anyone who joins during Season Zero (Winter 2026 — the first season of the league) gets the Founding Player badge. It's permanent, exclusive, and gone forever after March 31, 2026. It's like being an early adopter of a new MMO before it blows up.
Can I change my goals mid-season?
No. Once you lock your Seasonal Challenge, it's locked. This is intentional — it forces you to think carefully about what you commit to and creates real stakes. You can adjust your weekly missions and daily objectives, but the season-level ABC goals are fixed. This teaches you to set better goals over time.
What happens after Level 100?
You can Prestige — reset to Level 1 and keep a permanent star on your profile. Prestige multiple times for multiple stars. This creates infinite progression. A player with ⭐⭐⭐ at Level 50 has hit Level 100 three times and is on their fourth climb.
Is there a community or leaderboards?
Leaderboards are coming in Season I (Spring 2026). They'll rank players by XP, alignment average, level, and streak. We're building the community features as the player base grows.
How long does it take to see results?
One season. That's the design. 90 days is long enough to make real progress but short enough to maintain focus. Our hook is: 'You're just one season away from escaping your old reality.' If you play one full season with intention, you'll be a different person by the end.
