I keep tinkering with the app and I totally love it :D

there's something about the combo of this featureset i'm finding quite supportive: interstitial journaling, fully local llm, pomo timer, task extraction, gentle nudges

@aliszu @martin_buur I got this during Black Friday! I love using it. Makes me feel like I'm chatting to someone before my work day begins.

@martin_buur I discovered your app on Product Hunt and absolutely love it! It seems like using Focu could significantly boost my productivity😍

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

@martin_buur @byalexai Cool idea. You should be charging more!

@martin_buur Your product is awesome… I literally can't deny to use a single time…Every time I open my Mac and Focu App tingles me softly… It feels like a Breeze…! ✨😊❤️👏🏻💫💥🌟🙂🤗 Amazing App! ❤️

Nice App and I immediately grabbed a Lifetime License to support you! :)

This looks great, I'll try it out. 😁 Edit: Purchased!
I am loving the Focu app! Will definitely buy another copy for my son if/when it comes to Windows. Keep at it this app is great!

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.

Great! Love to see things like that

This is so great - thank you for building it! Bought!

I will be buying this right after I get the kids off to school! Glad I found your post on it.
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!
