What makes
Focus Bear Different

Neuroscience

Based on lived experience

We built this for ourselves first - our founder and many team members are neurospicy. ⬇️

Don’t Just Track Habits,
Stack Them

Push notifications are not enough - we guide you through habits in real time. ⬇️

Make every device safe

There are a lot of content blockers out there that try to avoid distractions. We’ve tried a lot of them and haven’t found one that works well across all your devices. With Focus Bear, when you’re in deep work, your phone won’t ding and distracting apps are automatically blocked. We’ve got all the obvious features: pomodoro mode, block lists, allow lists. 

Brain Breaks

Brain Breaks

Focus Bear reminds you to take regular breaks so all that productivity doesn’t give you a screen headache/sore neck.

Importantly, it won't interrupt you when you're in a meeting to avoid awkward screen sharing moments. We detect if your microphone/camera is on and don't prompt you for breaks until you're out of the meeting.

Features

Morning routinesto boost productivity

Research indicates that doing activities like meditation and exercise in the morning boosts focus throughout the day. Focus Bear doesn't just track your habits, it guides you through your habits in real-time and blocks distractions (no more mornings where Insta derails your exercise regime).

Founder’s Note

Jeremy sitting in an office

G'day mate!

I've got ADHD and ASD (L1) and productivity and healthy habits felt impossible to achieve consistently. Despite my best intentions, every day my amazing morning routine would devolve into sleepily checking emails - and then wondering what happened to my time.

I wanted a tool that would actually force me to get my yoga done instead of scrolling. And I tried everything; parental control apps, hiding my laptop in a cupboard, asking my wife to slap me if she found me on email in the morning.

None of them worked consistently and my cheeks were getting sore.

In desperation, I started working on a new app that would blend the best features from other apps out there. One that would guide me towards better habits while reducing procrastination.

And now I have the solution - Focus Bear.

Since using the app, I’ve consistently done my morning routine and reached Super Saiyan status as a Yogi (or at least that’s my excuse for dying my hair blond).

Try out Focus Bear for free and have your beary best day!
