Previously, setting your phone down gave your bean time to knit socks, and you could trade those socks for decorations for the beans room. Now, theres a whole new room to unlock.Focus Friend is a focus timer app in the same tradition as Forest and Flora. When you start a timer in Focus Friend, the little bean guy begins knitting, and the idea is that you put your phone down and don't use any other apps until he's done. When time is up, he'll happily show you that he knitted some socks! The socks let you buy decorations for his room, so the more you use the app, the cozier you can make his little home.The timing of the new room is perfect. Like many regular users of the app, Ive maxed out the little room my bean was initially given. My little guy (his name is Beanie) has a desk and chair, a window, a potted plant, even a garland on the wall. But now, with this update, he can walk (orteleport via beanstalk, apparently?) into a living room! Credit: Beth Skwarecki/Focus Friend How to unlock the living room in Focus FriendYou wont see the new room right away, but heres how you can access it:Update the Focus Friend app in the App Store or Google Play store.In Focus Friend, tap the paintbrush icon.See it? In the upper right corner? Pinch to zoom out and youll reveal a whole nother room.Unlock the room with 1,000 socks.Yep, it costs socks. Socks are the in-game currency that your bean earns when you leave them alone. (The bean knits socks for free users. Premium subscribers get more socks, plus the bean also knits scarves, which you can exchange for premium versions of the decorations.)Once youve unlocked it, you can then start decorating the addition the same way you decorated the initial room. The new items are more expensive than what was available in the first room, some of which only cost 50 socks. The new items include:A window with curtains, starting at 500 socksThree places to hang pictures on the walls, starting at 150-200 socks eachA TV (I almost thought it was a big painting) on the right wall, starting at 300 socksA lamp in the corner between the two walls, starting at 600 socksA couch on the left wall, starting at 600 socksA TV side table on the right wall below the big painting, starting at 300 socksA figure box shelf on the right wall, starting at 200 socksA set of little bookshelves on the right wall, starting at 500 socksA coffee table in the middle of the room, starting at 300 socksA little entry rug, starting at 300 socksAn armchair, starting at 500 socksAn end table, starting at 300 socksEarning all those socks will keep your bean busy for a while! Now, if only the app would give me a way to remove items from Beanies room. Hes feeling a bit cluttered.
