About

Hi, I'm Hunter. Solo developer in Austin. Two years ago I got let go from a corporate role and started building Focuser, a personal management system for people who want to live with intention. Most productivity apps ask: did you finish your tasks? Focuser asks: was your life a success today? Did how you spent your time serve the areas of your life you say matter most? What I want: Focuser to be the tool people reach for when they get serious about intentional living. A sustainable solo business around a product I care about. An honest record of the build at lifefocuser.com/building-focuser.

Focuser - Was your life a success today? Answer it, don't guess

Focuser asks the question most productivity apps don't: was your life a success today? This week? This month? A day planning dashboard that spans from this hour to this year, organized around Focuses: the life areas you define. Tag your work to Focuses and the dashboard shows where your effort is actually going in real time. Focus Metrics translates that into satisfaction and balance scores. Claude-powered insights follow shortly. Built solo over 18 months.
