I was tired of overly priced Pomodoro apps that lock basic features behind subscription paywalls and end up distracting you more than helping you focus. So, I built FocusSpace—an open-source, AI-native focus app designed from the ground up to protect your deep work.

FocusSpace is built with a singular philosophy: Everything you need to get into flow, and absolutely nothing you don't. It pairs a distraction-free, beautifully minimalist interface with state-of-the-art AI orchestration—giving you complete ownership over your attention and your data.

comes with following features

• Agentic Task Control: Instead of manual tracking, you can let a Hermes agent—or your own custom local model—manage your boards, break down complex goals into subtasks, and hold you accountable.
• Built-in AI Co-Pilot: Just describe what you want to achieve in plain English, and the onboard AI automatically structures your sessions and schedules your workflow. (use your own llm api key)
• Distraction-Free Environment: Features living, code-generated wallpapers (like rain or starfields) alongside a single-tap Focus Mode and mini-player designed to stay out of your way.
• Integrated Audio Controls: Built-in Spotify integration lets you search playlists and control focus audio directly inside the app so you never break your flow.
• Deep Work Analytics: Keep track of your real focus time over days and months with clean heatmaps, session timelines, and streak counters.
• Open Source and Self-Hostable: You have total control over your data. Host it yourself locally, deploy your own instance, or use the free hosted web version.

I made a focus timer app where you grow a mathematical fractal the longer you focus.

I was inspired by Forest, but I wanted something simpler and less gamified, basically a focus timer that stays out of your way, with the fractal growing as a visual representation of the time you've spent focusing.

It also has Pomodoro timing, weekly focus stats you can share, insights into when you tend to focus the most, projects so you can keep track of what you're spending your focus time on, and ambient sound as some people find it useful to study.

It's called Fractime.

If you think you might like it, you can try it here:

If the link doesn't work, just search Fractime on Google Play. The icon is a Pythagoras Tree.

I'd really appreciate any feedback :)

Timegauge gives you time perspective on hour, day, month, year, and custom project.

Problem:
We often forget how fast time is moving, and lose perspective. For example: do you know 52% of 2026 has already passed, and 36% of July is gone?

TimGauge gives you perspective through a progress bar in the Mac menu bar.
In this update, I have tried to get duration in terms of flexible time. For example: you can track exact working hours in Day and set exact starting end end time in custom project, this was missing in previous version.

The app is a one-time purchase, 100% local, available on the app store and is notarized by Apple when downloaded from Website.

Comparision:
Progress bar is a known competition but they sell 5 years old version with limited features for $9.99

Pricing:
TimeGauge is available on Mac apps store:

You can also download it from Web checkout at https://timegauge.minilabs.cc/

Hey there :)

I'm a recent first-gen graduate and a first-time solo developer. Super excited to share that my first app Precursor: Hourly Screen Time went live on the App Store today!

A: Precursor lets you set a screen time allowance that resets every hour instead of one daily limit that forces you to budget and ration your screen time throughout the day.

B: I am a bit astonished that not even apple has implemented this feature into their native screen time framework.

I'll admit the task was a bit difficult due to the inconsistencies of app usage tracking and becuase of that there are some limitations to how I implemented hourly screen time limts on iOS. Nonetheless I am really proud of the app so far.

I think it's resonating with people, I mean I knew a few others had this gripe becasue its pretty commonly posted about on reddit, but I didn't think it would be this well received. I feel so lucky that just the beta grew to 200 testers in about a week, most of them from this very subreddit (if you are one of those founding testers literally cannot thank you enough for your time and feedback! but I will try ;) stay tuned!)

At it's core I think Precursor helps break unhealthy phone habits through moderation rather than punishing you for falling into a doomscroll that wasn't your fault (these social media apps are literally designed to keep you scrolling, looking at you Reddit).

Thanks a ton for reading, if you have time and energy to support I would be eternally grateful.

Hey everyone — I recently launched my first Android app, Steps & Repeat: Interval Timer.

I built it because most interval timers I tried handled simple work/rest intervals well, but became awkward when I wanted workouts with multiple sets or repeated groups.

Steps & Repeat lets you build simple timers or more structured workouts where you can group intervals together and repeat entire sections.

For example:

5 ×
• 1 min hard
• 1 min easy

→ 3 min recovery
→ repeat the whole set 3 times

It works well for running intervals, HIIT, Tabata, hangboard repeaters, circuits, and other timed workouts.

You can save workouts, run the timer in the background while music continues playing, and use audio cues without watching your phone.

It’s free to use with minimal ads, and I intentionally keep ads off the actual timer screen so they don’t get in the way during a workout. There’s also a one-time option to remove them entirely.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the workout builder — particularly whether the way sets/repeats work feels intuitive.

I am currently procrastrinating my studies working on a pomodoro / task bar app, which is more focused on mining voxel asteroids, - because I love voxels & destruction - and space.

I am really happy how it is turning out, but my biggest hurdle is on making the pomodoro-progression "feel right", so if you have any resources or ideas I would be grateful for that!

The only progression right now is, that you can have up to 4 Satellites, which greatly increases mining speed.
