I've tried a bunch of pomodoro and timer apps over the years. Some turn focus into a weird game that stresses you out. Others are just a countdown with nothing behind it — you finish and have no real idea where your time went.

So I built my own. It's called Depthly. You run focus sessions, and it quietly keeps track of everything: how much you focused today, this week, this month, this year. Streaks for staying consistent. A leaderboard if you like a bit of friendly competition to keep you honest.

It's live, free to try, and a small group of people have been using it for real work already. I built this completely alone, so I don't have a team to bounce ideas off — which is exactly why I'm here.

Genuine question: for anyone who's built something like this, did streaks and leaderboards actually keep people coming back, or did most users just want a clean timer and ignore the social stuff?

So I did what developers do when they’re annoyed enough: built my own. It’s called Depthly. Pomodoro/free timer, real analytics (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, lifetime), streaks, a leaderboard if you’re into that kind of accountability. Nothing groundbreaking, honestly — I just wanted something that respected my time instead of trying to keep me “engaged.”

It’s live. Getting payments working was its own saga — Stripe isn’t available for my region, so I ended up going with Lemon Squeezy instead, and honestly that took longer to sort out than most of the actual product.

A handful of people have been using it for real sessions now and the feedback’s been encouraging, but I’ll be straight with you — I know how to build things, I don’t really know how to get people to find them. Marketing is not my world. So I’d genuinely rather someone tell me now if something about this doesn’t make sense, before I spend another few months building on top of it.

If you’ve got questions about the stack, the payment stuff, or just what it’s like building something completely alone with no one to sanity-check ideas with — ask away, happy to talk through any of it.
