One tap. That's the whole thing.
No app to open. No password to type. No notification asking if you're really sure. You tap Mohar, and your phone responds. Instantly.
Place your phone on Mohar.
That's it. The NFC chip inside Mohar is passive — it draws power from your phone's own NFC field. No battery. No charging. No pairing.
Works with iPhone XS and newer, and any Android with NFC. If your phone can tap-to-pay, it works. Setup takes 2 minutes with the free Mohar app.
Your phone reads the NFC tag.
Your phone reads Mohar instantly — the same way it reads a metro card or a payment machine. Nothing to pair, nothing to charge..
The chip stores a URL that can be read by any modern NFC reader. No proprietary hardware, no locked ecosystem.
Your focus routine launches.
The tap triggers whatever you've configured: Do Not Disturb on, a Spotify focus playlist, a timer, a specific app, a shortcut. Whatever your ritual is, Mohar activates it.
Set it all in the free Mohar app. (Power user? It also works with Apple Shortcuts and NFC Tools — see the FAQ.)
Your brain learns the signal.
This is the part that matters. The physical act of placing your phone on Mohar becomes a conditioned cue. Over days and weeks, your brain starts shifting into focus mode before the automation even fires.
Do it for 2–3 weeks and your brain links the tap with focus. After that, starting deep work feels automatic.
Why physical objects work.
Why a stone and not another app? Because your brain trusts real objects more than notifications. Research shows people who tie a habit to a fixed physical cue are 2–3× more likely to stick with it.
Works with every NFC phone.

Things people ask us.
No. Mohar works with your phone's native NFC reader. On iPhone, it will show a notification that opens Safari or triggers a Shortcut. On Android, it works with Google Home routines or NFC Tools. The Mohar Companion App is optional and unlocks advanced customisation.
Any iPhone from iPhone XS (2018) onwards, and virtually all Android phones from 2016 onwards with NFC. If your phone supports contactless payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), it will work with Mohar.
Out of the box, tapping Mohar opens the Mohar setup page where you can configure your focus routine. Once set up, each tap triggers your personalised focus automation — DND, timer, playlist, or any combination via Shortcuts or NFC Tools.
Yes. You can reprogram the NFC tag using any NFC writer app (NFC Tools on Android, or simply native iOS Shortcuts). The tag is rewritable, so you can change the action as often as you like.
Yes. NFC is a standard protocol, not proprietary to Mohar. As long as phones support NFC (which they will for decades), Mohar will work. There's no software to update, no server dependency, no subscription to maintain.
