Most focus apps guilt-trip you or lock you out. Ekagra does neither. Starts with awareness — Reels scrolled today, when your attention slips, and weekly trends. No judgment. Just the number. Seeing it is enough to change it. You choose what's next: scheduled focus blocks, a calm pause on Reels/Shorts, or just track. Every feature is optional. → Blocks Reels & Shorts, not the whole app → On-device. No account, no data collection → Free. 4.7★ | 1K+ downloads

Hey PH! Deepak here, one of the makers of Ekagra. 👋
I built this because I couldn't find what I was looking for.
Every focus app I tried either guilt-tripped me ("you've used Instagram for 2 hours, you should be ashamed") or locked me out completely - which I'd just override the moment I felt like it. Neither actually changed my habit.
What changed things for me was just seeing the number. How many Reels I'd watched that day. The first week I tracked it, I hit 91 in a single day. I didn't feel it happening. There was no moment where I thought "okay, this is getting excessive." It was just... time, gone.
So I built a calm counter, a pause screen that asks "is this what you want right now?", and a scheduler for deep work hours. Nothing fancy. No dark patterns. No subscription.
The name is Sanskrit - एकाग्र means single-pointed focus. The Bhagavad Gita uses it to describe the kind of attention that's undivided and clear. That felt right.
It's free, Android-only, and everything on-device. 4.7★ on Play Store after a few months.
Happy to answer anything - about the app, the tech (Accessibility API on Android is a rabbit hole), or the journey of building something like this as a small indie team. Ask away! 🙏

Who hunted Ekagra?

Ekagra was hunted by Deepak Bhanushali. 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.
