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 been using Focusbear for two months, and it’s really helped me stay focused and productive. Before, I was easily distracted by social media and forgot to take breaks. The app’s healthy habit reminders, like yoga and exercise, even helped reduce my back pain. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to stay on task and live a healthier lifestyle!

This app has been a game-changer for my focus and routines. I’ve always struggled with staying on task and getting distracted, but Focus Bear’s distraction-blocking and habit-guidance tools are so well designed. The morning routine guide nudges me into productive habits instead of doom‐scrolling, and the series of habit reminders keeps me accountable without feeling overwhelming.

Focus Bear has truly changed the way I work and study. The gentle reminders, deep-focus sessions, and distraction blocking features help me stay on track like never before. I love the healthy balance it encourages with stretch breaks and mindful breathing too — it’s not just about productivity, it’s about wellbeing.
