About this app

Ever find yourself staring at the same page for 20 minutes, realizing you haven't processed a single word? Focusability is a first-of-its-kind productivity tool designed to keep your mind on track using an innovative "Active Monitoring" method.

Whether you are a student, a researcher, or a professional, Focusability helps you build a disciplined work habit by keeping your mind physically and mentally engaged with your task.

HOW IT WORKS: THE POWER OF ACTIVE FOCUS

Most people stop speaking the moment they drift into a daydream. Focusability uses this pattern to your advantage:

• Activate the Focus Booster: Start your task and commit to studying or reading out loud.

• Stay Alert: The app monitors your activity. If you fall silent, Focusability detects the lapse and triggers an alert.

• Refocus Instantly: A gentle nudge brings you back to the present moment, saving you hours of wasted time.

(Note: Do you tend to daydream out loud? Use our Reverse Alarm mode to stay on task your way.)

WHY CHOOSE FOCUSABILITY?

• Eliminate Time-Wasting: Stop the cycle of "zoning out" and finish hours of study sessions and work in half the time.

• Build Deep Work Habits: Train your brain to sustain high-level concentration for longer periods.

• Productivity Analytics: Track your progress and see exactly how much focused time you’ve gained.

• Privacy Focused: Your audio is processed locally to detect focus levels—we never record or store your speech.

PERFECT FOR:

• Studying & Memorization: Keep your mind sharp while reviewing notes.

• Technical Reading: Stay engaged with complex materials.

• Writing & Drafting: Verbalize your thoughts to keep the creative flow moving.

• Professional Deep Work: Reach a "flow state" faster and stay there longer.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPER:

"I created Focusability to solve my own struggle with daydreaming. It saved me hours of lost productivity every day, and I built this app to help you do the same. Focusability isn't a cure, but it is a powerful tool to help you stay disciplined and reach your goals."

Hey Im trying to use the app but honestly it doesn't say much what everything is and how to use it. Next, I dont know why but when I turn the Focus booster it goes off when zi speak? isnt it suppose to do the opposite. It says speak, if you stop the sound goes off. its not doing that for me. I really want to use this app its loud the noise grabs my attention it but its not working.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! ☺️ The text length here is limited, so I can't answer all your questions here. The idea is that many MDers like me daydream in silence, so the app is designed to alarm you when we are not speaking. However, it's the opposite for others, so you can reverse the alarm in the "Options" ⚙️ screen. e.yusef@focusability.org

I don't know yet This is my first day of using the application But so far I studied 4 hours and was able to concentrate better than before So far everything is really good, I have tests after a couple of days and I think I will keep using it until the last day<3 The idea of the application is really excellent as I am a person who suffers from maladaptive daydreaming!!

Thanks a lot for your review and the feedback! 😊 That's exactly why I created focusability. I, too, struggled a lot in school because of Maladaptive Daydreaming. I am glad the app makes it easier for you to study. Feel free to message me through the app if you have any suggestions or questions. Best of luck with your exams!

Love the app I used to struggle alot with daydreaming here and there while trying to work on my plans This app has helped me massively by shouting in my face whenever I daydream Thanks for your creation Here are some feedback on the app: - could you add an option to cancel the outside noise or to not count it --> My house is right next to a loud street and It messes with the sound strength alot, you could add an option for the person to record thier voice so the app only recognises them?

Thanks a lot for your review! It means a lot to me 😊. The suggested features are quite useful, and I will be working on them. If you have any other suggestions or questions, feel free to write me via the app. Update: Noise Cancelling: I just uploaded an update with Voice Recognition (See Options). I hope you can test it and write me your feedback.
