“We believe focus is not about discipline — it is about removing the pressure that kills attention. Technology should bend around neurodivergent minds, not the reverse.”
Why we built it
The problem
Classic timers punish ADHD brains: a countdown that feels like a judge, a session that ends mid-flow, guilt when you drift. People don't lose focus because they are lazy — they lose it because the tools assume one rigid way of paying attention.
The idea
FocusFlow
The creation
We built FocusFlow around attention, not the clock. Sessions breathe — stretching when you are deep, offering a gentle rest when you are not. The interface is soft, the nudges are quiet, and nothing ever punishes a break. It is a timer designed to be forgotten.
This creation began as #013 in our idea archive.
Observation
Countdowns punished the drift that is part of attention.
Idea
Expand in flow, soften when you drift.
Creation
Gentle shape, quiet nudges, no guilt.
Release
FocusFlow is live for iOS.
Sessions stretch and breathe with your attention instead of counting you down.
A soft tap when it is time to rest — no alarms, no shame.
Breaks, session length and reminders tuned for wave-like attention.
FocusFlow is free to use with a freemium model — core sessions are free, and an unlock adds history and custom rhythms.
People with ADHD, and anyone who finds traditional timers stressful, who wants a gentler way to work.
Normal timers count you down and make breaks feel like failure. FocusFlow adapts to your attention — sessions expand in flow and soften when you drift.
Started as #013 — FocusFlow
A gentle focus timer designed for ADHD minds.
An open directory of AI tools and MCP servers.
“We asked: what if the AI ecosystem had a quiet archive — curated, categorized and kept honest? A place where open-source tools and MCP servers are listed once, described well, and easy to compare. That is why we made this.”
Free, instant, privacy-first calculators — Schengen, FIRE and TDEE.
“We asked: what if the most useful calculators lived in one clean, instant, private place? No accounts, no tracking, just the number you needed thirty seconds ago. That is why we made this.”
A simple way to work with documents.
“We kept asking: what if the PDF tool disappeared into the background, leaving only the document and the one action you wanted? Why did we make this — because a document task should take seconds, not a tutorial.”
