I kept losing focus not because I lacked discipline, but because starting a focus session had too many steps: open the task app, pick a task, open a separate timer, set the duration, start. By step 3 I was already on Twitter.

So I built Focusmo — a native macOS app that pulls tasks from the tools you already use (Things, Todoist, TickTick, Reminders, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Obsidian) and lets you start a timed focus session on any task in seconds.

The core idea: your task list and your focus timer should be the same app.

What it does:

- Connects to 7 task managers so you don't maintain a separate list - Command palette (like Raycast) — keyboard shortcut, type task name, hit enter, you're working - Floating timer that stays visible across spaces and monitors - Pomodoro mode with automatic work/break cycles, or a "minimum goal" mode that keeps going if you're in flow - Activity tracking that shows which apps you used during sessions (no keylogging, all local) - Workspaces with app blocking — define "deep work" vs "meetings" environments - Streaks and achievements that celebrate, never punish

It's a native SwiftUI app, not Electron. Runs as a menu bar app or a regular window.

I've been building this solo for about two years. Happy to answer questions about the architecture, the integrations, or the product decisions.
