About this app

Focus Bear is a productivity and self improvement app built by a team with AuDHD for people with AuDHD (or anyone who needs help focusing).

The app helps boost productivity by managing distractions, building routines and assisting with punctuality. Our app works across Mac, Windows, iOS and Android and uses AI to detect whether a website is relevant for the work at hand. If the site/app isn't relevant (e.g. checking the news during the workday), we block it and let the user view an AI generated low dopamine version of the content if they need to.

Focus Bear also upregulates focus by guiding users through a morning routine typically involving mindfulness and exercise. Research shows that exercise and meditation both profoundly improve concentration especially for people with ADHD. Finally our app helps avoid being late to meetings through a feature "Late No More" which provides high intensity notifications (initially visual and then spoken).

Focus Bear uses the AccessibilityService API to detect when distracting websites and apps are opened, allowing us to block them in real time. This helps users stay focused by ensuring access only to work-relevant content. This feature requires explicit user permission and is not used to collect any personal or sensitive data.

Ratings and reviews

I’ve struggled with ADHD and often found it difficult to concentrate and stick to a schedule. Focus Bear has been a game-changer for me. The app’s tools and reminders helped me stay on track, manage my time more effectively, and maintain focus throughout the day. It’s simple to use but incredibly effective, and I’ve noticed a real improvement in my productivity and daily routine. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance focus and organization!

I’ve always struggled to stay on task and end up wasting time, but Focus Bear has been a real game-changer. The distraction blocking and gentle reminders help me focus without feeling overwhelming. For the first time in a while, I’m actually getting things done and sticking to my routines.

Focus Bear has substantially helped me cut down on distractions. It blocks everything except what I really need and even walks me through my morning routine. The break reminders are handy too. It can feel a bit strict, but that's the point, and it serves its purpose in keeping me on task.
