Focu helped me get over mental hurdles that otherwise wouldn't have been possible with a traditional productivity app.

So far so good, I like it. I was just looking for a "journal" app and this one is amazing. I'm learning that AI is helping me a lot in my "absurd" questions and life and helping cope better with my PTSD.

I used it for the first time to organize my day for the holiday and it's super helpful. I even asked if how I should prioritize work and it was able to give me a response that priorities work life balance so I'm really happy with it so far. Thanks for creating something so awesome!
