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

Really helpful app for staying focused and cutting distractions. The blocking feature actually makes you pause and think before opening distracting apps, which works surprisingly well. Clean design and calming music options. Definitely worth trying if you struggle with focus.

Focus Bear is a fantastic app for building healthy routines. The scheduled reminders for journaling, exercise, and daily focus habits are very effective and help me stay consistent. I really appreciate how the app gently enforces discipline without feeling overwhelming. A great tool for anyone trying to improve focus and structure in daily life.

This app has made a real difference in my daily routine. Focus Bear helps me stay consistent, avoid distractions, and complete tasks on time. Very useful and easy to follow. Great job by the developers
