Focumon is inspired by gamified productivity apps like Habitica & Forest, but tries to find a better balance in the amount of gamification. It's still in its early days and I'm looking forward to feedbacks and advises!

Thanks for reporting this issue! I reproduced it on my device and will patch soon. Edit: this should be fixed.

On default configurations, I'm thinking about letting user customize some sort of shortcuts, maybe visit a specific training center and start a session with a pre-configured goal with just one click.

Most of the art is made by an awesome indie dev Yana from Japan (https://x.com/yanako_rpgs) but I am currently learning pixel art and already added a few original Focumon I made!

I was on the eternal quest of searching for a properly gamified productivity app that keeps me motivated throughout the day and in the long term.After a few months of a fruitless search, I made up my mind and decided to build it myself! I've since launched FocuMon a little over a month ago. Quite a few early users told me it has helped them stay focused, so I'm excited to share it on HN for...
