People Who Took Back
Control of Their Focus
From knowledge workers to students to people with ADHD — here's what happens when you make your attention measurable.
Before & After in Their Own Words
Real score changes. Real accounts. No embellishment.
I went from a Focus Score of 34 to 71 in three weeks. I didn't change anything except turning on the Shorts blocker. Seeing the number drop every time I slipped back was more motivating than any productivity app I've tried.
Score
As someone with ADHD, I've always struggled to know when I've lost focus — it just happens. FocusScore made the invisible visible. Now I can actually catch a drift before I lose an hour to Instagram Reels.
Score
My dissertation was due and I kept falling into Reddit rabbit holes. FocusScore showed me I was spending 2.5 hours a day on Reddit 'breaks'. That data alone made me fix it. Submitted on time.

More From Our Users
From sceptics to power users — here's the full spectrum.
“I used to think I was productive because I was 'always busy'. FocusScore showed me my deep focus sessions were averaging 4 minutes. That was a wake-up call.”
“The weekly AI report is the best part. It doesn't just tell me my score — it tells me why it changed and what to try next. It's like having a focus coach.”
“Blocked Facebook Suggested Posts and my score went from 45 to 63 in a week. I didn't even realise how much of my feed was algorithmic filler.”
“I'm a student and I use the Focus Timer every study session. The score dropping when I switch tabs is like a gentle tap on the shoulder. No shame, just data.”
“I was sceptical about another productivity tool. But FocusScore doesn't tell me what to do — it just shows me what's happening. That's exactly what I needed.”
“The before/after comparison is humbling. My 'before' self watched 6× more Shorts and had 3× more tab switches per session. The numbers don't lie.”
“Twitter/X was my biggest leak. The FocusScore data showed me I was spending 80 minutes a day there without realising it. I've cut it to under 20 now.”
“I recommended FocusScore to my whole team. We did a 30-day focus challenge with it. Average team score went from 42 to 67. Concrete, comparable, motivating.”
“The privacy-first approach sealed it for me. No browsing history leaving my device — just an aggregated score. I work in security so this matters enormously.”
FocusScore Works for You
Whatever your context, the data meets you where you are.
Knowledge Workers
Remote workers and office professionals use FocusScore to protect deep work blocks and measure the true cost of Slack-and-tab multitasking.
“I finally have data to show my manager why 'always on Slack' kills my output.”
— P.M., Product Manager
“Blocked LinkedIn notifications through FocusScore. My afternoon score went from 38 to 64.”
— A.K., Business Analyst
Students
Students use the Focus Timer and Shorts blocker to protect study sessions, with the score acting as an objective accountability signal.
“Every exam season I struggle. This year I had FocusScore running and actually hit my target hours.”
— T.A., Law Student
“I set a 60-minute focus block before every lecture. My retention is noticeably better.”
— E.S., Engineering Student
ADHD Users
People with ADHD particularly value the real-time, objective feedback loop — a way to externalise the internal state that ADHD makes hard to monitor.
“I stop and check my score instead of wondering why I feel unfocused. It's changed how I work.”
— M.J., Designer, ADHD
“No app has ever made self-awareness this low-effort. The score does the monitoring so I don't have to.”
— C.R., Writer, ADHD
