FocusStack
Easiest way to understand, improve and protect your focus
FocusStack is for people who make things. Start a focus session, name it after your task, pick the project. FocusStack tracks every app and site automatically, blocks what derails you, and nudges you back when you drift. One click launches your whole work setup at once. At the end of the day, you see exactly where your focus went and what each project actually cost you. No cloud. No subscription. It runs on your machine. Pay once, keep it for life.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm the founder of FocusStack.
I built it for myself.
Every morning I sit down with one thing in my head. Ship a feature. Write a proposal. Fix a bug. One task. One intention. I wanted a tool that respected that.
Not a score. Not a report. The work itself.
So this is how my day works now.
I open FocusStack. I start a focus session. I name it after what I'm doing. I pick the project. And I begin.
From that moment, everything is handled. Every app. Every site. Every minute. Tracked quietly, without me lifting a finger.
If I drift, I get nudged back. If I open my tools but forgot to start, I get reminded. If I need to code, one click launches everything. Cursor. GitHub. Terminal. Browser. All of it. Together.
At the end of the day, I don't wonder where the hours went. I know. Per task. Per project. With clarity.
I didn't set out to build another productivity app. I was using separate tools for tracking, blocking, and starting my work. Three tools for one day. That felt wrong. So I built one thing that matched how I actually work.
Two principles guided everything.
Your data stays on your machine. Local first. No cloud. No account. Your day belongs to you.
You pay once. No subscription. Buy it once. Own it for life.
FocusStack is for people who make things. Indie hackers. Freelancers. Founders working alone. People who sit down each day with something real to build.
If that's you, I'd love your honest take.
I'm here all day. Ask me anything. 🙏
