Standard vs Strict Focus

Understand the difference between Standard and Strict modes and when to use each.

By AuraLock Team

Standard vs Strict Focus

Standard

Standard mode blocks the apps you haven't whitelisted, but you can still exit an Aura early with a warning.

Strict

Strict mode locks you in until the session ends. No early exits, no snoozing.

Tip: Start with Standard for a week, then graduate to Strict for deep work.
