Have you ever had a moment of weakness after waking up and scrolled Instagram instead of doing a workout? Stick to your day plan with our real time habit guide feature.
Other apps send you gentle push notifications asking you to track your habits. Focus Bear is much more hands-on: your whole computer and phone is locked until you finish your morning routine (you can still skip habits if you absolutely need to).
It’s not just habit reminders either, Focus Bear does your habits with you in real time. For habits that benefit from guidance, it can play relevant YouTube videos (e.g. a follow along HIIT video) without the distractions of the YouTube feed.
Make every device safe
There are a lot of distraction blockers out there. We’ve tried 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.
Smart breaks
Focus Bear reminds you to take regular breaks so hyperfocus 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.
Get into deep work with distraction blocking across all your devices. You can remove blocks if you have an emergency.
Morning routines to 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).
Take productivity-boosting breaks
Take breaks every 20 minutes - your brain and body will thank you. Auto-detects meetings so you don't get asked to do breaks when you're on a call.
Make your phone distraction-free
Get into deep work with distraction blocking across all your devices. You can remove blocks if you have an emergency.
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!
The Focus Bear app has been designed based on lived experience and recent neuroscience and psychology research. Our scientific advisory board includes Marta Galan (Registered Clinic Neuropsychologist and ADHD specialist).
No. The only thing we log is information you provide at the end of a Focus Block (what did you achieve/what were the distractions?) and when you use our quantified self feature (how many pushups did you do?).
Valid concern. If you’ve used other apps like Focus Bear, you’ve probably had them interrupt you at inappropriate times (e.g. when you’re on a video call) or be very inflexible with blocking.
We’ve done our best to use the best aspects of nudge theory (i.e. a slight amount of friction will move you towards your goals) without being annoying. Focus Bear is smart enough to not pop up during video calls.
We have two modes: “cuddly bear” mode and “grizzly bear” mode. In “cuddly bear” mode, it is very easy to remove app blocks and postpone breaks. In “grizzly bear” mode, you have to wait a while before you can deactivate blocks.
Cuddly Bear mode is the default and you should only activate grizzly bear mode if you really want extra support.
Having an app that enforces morning and evening routines, regular breaks, and focus modes is beneficial for individuals with ADHD as it provides structure, reduces distractions, and promotes time management and productivity. Focus Bear offers reminders, accountability, and customizable features that help individuals establish consistent routines, stay focused, and take necessary breaks. It increases self-awareness, supports better organization, and fosters a sense of accomplishment, ultimately improving overall well-being and symptom management for those with ADHD.
Built by a team with ADHD, Focus Bear is based on neuroscience principles to help you stick with your habits and get stuff done. Click here to read more.
