Hey,
I'm Tade, a solo indie dev based in Manchester. Motivv is the focus tracker I kept wishing existed.
Every "productivity" app I tried measured the same thing: screen time. But screen time lies. 8 hours on my Mac never meant 8 hours of work. Some days I'd ship real features. Other days I'd just stared at Slack and called it "deep work." The apps couldn't tell the difference. Honestly, I couldn't either.
So I built Motivv to track the rhythm of work, not the volume of it:
→ Focus blocks — sustained time (5+ min) in one app, uninterrupted
→ Drift moments — rapid app-switching patterns that signal you lost the thread
→ Your real work rate, a single honest score for each session
→ Your best hour of the day — when you actually do your best work
Built natively in SwiftUI. SwiftData + CloudKit for sync. NSWorkspace for activity tracking (no creepy accessibility prompts). One-time £7.99, no subscription tax. Apple Watch support is coming in v1.1; that's where wrist activity unlocks the "engagement vs fidgeting" signal.
The honest truth: shipping this took two App Store rejections, a CloudKit production schema bug, a RevenueCat entitlement gap I missed for days, and a region mismatch I forgot half my testers would hit. Building solo is humbling.
Would genuinely love your thoughts on what you'd want to see in v1.1, what's missing, and what's working. I'm in the comments all day
