Show HN: Focido – mobile app where real people motivate you to finish tasks

https://focido.com/
3•vladimir_fc•2h ago
I've been struggling with my own to-do lists for years. Apps like Todoist or Habitica are great for reminders, but they never quite push me over the edge when motivation dips. So I built Focido: a social to-do app where you hire actual humans as motivators.

Here's how it works. You post a task – say, "Run 5km tomorrow" or "Finish that report by Friday" – and pick a motivator from the marketplace. They check in via chat, nudge you with encouragement (or gentle guilt), and you confirm completion for XP points. It's built on Flutter for iOS/Android, with Supabase backend for real-time chats.

You can see a 1 minute demo here: https://youtube.com/shorts/b7KidYEvsUg?si=9FyDz8NDfppfH1Fw

We've got clubs for niches like fitness or coding sprints, where groups keep each other accountable. Early users stick around longer because humans tap into reciprocity and social pressure better than AI bots – that's from some Gen Z studies I read.

Try it: https://focido.com/download/

(quick sign-up with Google/Apple, no barriers to post a test task).

Feedback welcome, especially on retention loops or marketplace balance.
