No. Focus Bear is smart enough not to pop up during video calls. It has two modes: in Cuddly Bear mode (the default) it is very easy to remove app blocks and postpone breaks. In Grizzly Bear mode you have to wait a while before you can deactivate blocks. Only turn on Grizzly Bear mode if you really want extra support.
An app that guides morning and evening routines, regular breaks and focus modes provides structure, reduces distractions and supports time management. Focus Bear offers reminders, accountability and customisable features that help people with ADHD establish consistent routines, stay focused and take the breaks they need.

ADHD can persist into adulthood, and it is estimated that a significant portion of those diagnosed in childhood continue to experience symptoms as adults.
Treatment options include behavioral therapy, medication (such as stimulants and non-stimulants), and educational or workplace accommodations. The most effective treatment often involves a combination of approaches.
