Squishy
Squishy is a shared distraction-blocking app for iPhone and Chrome that lets two people use one focus record and one accountability blob. It tracks focus sessions and slips while keeping the specific apps and sites private.
Overview
Squishy is a shared distraction-blocking app for iPhone and Chrome built around one live blob that two people keep in the same state. You set blocked apps, sites, and focus windows, then invite someone else with a six-letter code so both of your sessions and slips affect the same Squishy.
The product combines focus blocking with a visible accountability feed. The homepage says the shared ledger shows saves and slips, but not the exact apps or sites involved, so the product is aimed at people who want mutual pressure to focus without exposing browsing history.
Features
Shared accountability
A shared blob tracks both focus sessions and slips so the same account reflects what happens on either side.
Private activity details
The ledger shows who helped and who slipped, while keeping the specific apps or sites private.
Session-based state changes
Focus sessions improve the blob and peeks or slips make it degrade through the visible brainrot stages.
Invite sharing
A six-letter invite code lets another person join the same Squishy, and the invite is described as free for them.
Shared cosmetic customization
Squishy Pro includes premium skins and the page says future drops are planned, with the same appearance visible to both people.
Use cases
Accountability with a partner
A pair can agree on blocked apps and sites, then use the shared blob as a mutual check-in during work or study blocks.
Private anti-distraction tracking
Someone trying to cut down on doomscrolling can let another person see the overall result without revealing which sites or apps were involved.
Cross-device focus blocking
A person working on both iPhone and Chrome can keep one shared focus state across devices instead of managing separate tools per platform.
Shared routines with one invite
A couple, friend group, or accountability buddy can use the invite code flow to join one shared Squishy and react to each other’s focus sessions.
Gamified focus feedback
Users who want a visible reward loop can watch the blob move through its health states as focus sessions heal it and slips drain it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lets two people share one focus record instead of keeping separate streaks.
- Shows who focused and who slipped without revealing the exact app or site being used.
- Works across iPhone and Chrome, with syncing between the devices either person owns.
- Allows the invited person to join for free via a six-letter code.
- Includes a paid Squishy Pro tier with premium skins and access that syncs across the shared blob.
Cons
- The homepage only confirms iPhone and Chrome, so platform support appears limited on the evidence shown.

- The site describes shared accountability, but it does not provide much detail about team administration or broader workplace use.
FAQ
How does Squishy get shared with another person?
Squishy is set up by adopting one blob on iPhone or in Chrome, then sharing a six-letter code with another person. The other person can join for free, and both accounts then feed the same shared Squishy.
How do you use Squishy day to day?
According to the site, a focus session can be started on iPhone or Chrome after you set your blocked apps, blocked sites, and focus windows in Settings. The product then records focus sessions and slips into the shared ledger.
What does the other person see when someone slips?
The homepage says the shared ledger shows saves and slips, but not which apps or sites the other person was on. That means the product is designed to show accountability signals while keeping browsing details private.
What platforms does Squishy support?
The site shows Squishy on iPhone and Chrome, and says the shared Squishy syncs across every screen either person owns. No other platforms are explicitly listed on the homepage.
Is Squishy free?
The homepage says one iPhone subscription unlocks Squishy Pro, syncs access to Chrome, and covers the person you invite. It also says joining with a code is free for the invited person.
