Hi all. I am Kshetez, the dev behind FocusMode.
I'm excited to share FocusMode - born from a simple realization: we're losing an insane amount of productive hours every week without even noticing it.
🤯 The Reality Check:
Every week, the average person loses 17+ hours of productivity:
- 4 hours lost switching between tasks
- 5 hours scrolling through distractions
- 3 hours fighting procrastination
- 2 hours juggling multiple todo apps
- 3 hours trying to get back on track
- ♾️ hours wasted cause of burnout
💡 Solution:
Instead of adding another complex productivity system, FocusMode does ONE thing exceptionally well - helps you focus on one task at a time.
I launched on January 1st and have been iterating daily based on real user feedback.
🎯 Here are the Key Features:
- Always-visible floating timer that never gets in your way
- Single-task focus to eliminate task-switching anxiety
- Quick Access Panel with keyboard shortcuts
- Smart Pomodoro system
- Privacy-focused (no data collection, works offline)
- Analytics to help you track your growth
I'm actively working on improvements and would love your feedback!
Join us in fighting back against lost productivity! 💪

Launching soon!
@kshetez_vinayak interesting and I quite like the UI - curious how this differs from what is actively on the market? Congrats on the launch!
Maker
@dzaitzow thanks for asking Daniel
how it differs:
- it is all in one
- pomodoro + todo list + focus app + quick access panel + floating timer
- provides analytics
- quick access panel lets you control everything from anywhere
- weekly updates

@konrad_sx yup they are something i just guessed. just trying to give you idea that you waste time. it can be less or more but hours are still wasted. i get reviews on mail. any way to provide link for them. i would love to do so for people like you. thanks a lot
I love the design and simplicity.
Huge congratulations on the launch!
Any plans to make this available for mobile?
Maker
@abbas143official Thanks a lot. and yes. mobile version is in the works and will be available soon.
A great way to help people stay focused and increase productivity. As someone who gets easily distracted and finds it hard to focus on one task for a while, really like the floating timer design. Congrats on the launch!!
This is an excellent way to fight overwhelm but does FocusMode include any gamification features such as streaks or rewards to help keep users engaged?
Maker
@nicholas_anderson0 yes thats a good idea. i will add that to feature list and bring this soon. thanks for suggesting
Love the floating window design, feels slick. Congrats on the launch!

This is interesting but what makes FocusMode different from other task oriented Pomodoro apps? Is it the user interface, the workflow or something else entirely?
Maker
@samuel_morris hi Samuel. this is not just a pomodoro app. it is a focus app which provides pomodoro as well. pomodoro is just a small part of it that some users dont even use. main highlights are focusing on one task at a time and a panel accessible from anywhere like spotlight and lets you manage your todo
Does the app offer various timer modes like Pomodoro, or is it limited to focusing on one task at a time?
Maker
@tyler_wright1 yes it provides various timer modes like Pomodoro but that too focused on working on 1 task at a time. how this works is: you work on 1 task and after your pomodoro work time(customizable) is finished you will get break notification and now you can take a break or skip it (shown in one of the images).
An excellent app that has consistently helped me stay on track with my tasks and goals. Even when I exceed my self-imposed deadlines, the app keeps me organized and productive. It's a game-changer for anyone managing a busy schedule. Highly recommended and absolutely worth it🚀
Love the quick task panel. Game changer. I am open from anywhere and add tasks. So cool. Looking forward to future updates
@kshetez_vinayak 👍
This sounds like an absolute game-changer for productivity! The FocusMode approach is refreshingly simple yet incredibly effective—focusing on one task at a time is exactly what so many of us need. Love the privacy-first approach and the smart Pomodoro integration. Excited to see how this evolves! Great Work !!!

@miss_tee There is no such strategy in place rn. I will be adding streaks and other gamification things soon but for now it just makes it more convenient to focus. You will need a little bit of your will power to start and rest is on FocusMode.
I love the simplicity of this it's all about focus without any distractions. Does FocusMode work with task managers like Todoist or Notion or is it meant to be used on its own?
Maker
@elizabeth_turner4 i am working on bringing the integrations soon. you might see them in feb launch
This is an application I have been looking for for a long time. Most of the time, I get distracted and switch to other tasks, but when I start using this, the floating timer reminds me that time is running out and I need to finish my work first. I love this application and highly recommend my group to use this! ✨🎉
FocusMode is my go-to tool for staying focused ;-).
When I need to dive into deep work like research, brainstorming, or creative tasks, I start by making a simple commitment to myself: 'I'll dedicate an hour to this.' Then, I follow a straightforward routine: block time for deep work, activate FocusMode, and fully immerse myself in the task.
FocusMode is a game-changer! It keeps me focused, organized, and stress-free while tackling tasks one by one. Highly recommend!
