Hyperfocus is a free, goals-first planner for macOS. It helps you choose the few outcomes that matter most, plan weeks and days around them, and make consistent progress by doing focused work
It feels so good to be back on Product Hunt after almost 10 years!
Today I’m launching Hyperfocus – a free, goals-first planner for Mac.
I’ve spent the last several years coaching focus to product people in tech, and I’ve always felt that task managers got productivity wrong.
Why? First, they're really good at capturing and organizing tasks, but they start from an inbox – teaching you to react instead of deciding what actually matters. Second, most planners don’t really have an opinion on how you should work, so many people end up with a long list of todos that makes them feel busy without making them productive.
Hyperfocus takes a different approach. First, it starts from goals – you decide what matters most in the next few months, then plan your weeks and days around them.
Second, it’s built on a simple belief: focusing on a few clear goals is better than checking off a long list of todos. So as you write, it gives you feedback on your goals and plans, and then helps to make them clear and realistic.
So what’s inside?
One workspace that connects long-term goals to weeks and days
Hyperfocus is still early, and any feedback would be really helpful! If the problem and the promise resonate – I’d love for you to try Hyperfocus and tell me what you think. Does it fit into your workflow? What is missing? How does it make you feel?
That feedback would help a lot! Let's focus 🚀

Who hunted Hyperfocus?
Hyperfocus was hunted by Dmitrii Tsepelev. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
