Hey all.

I'm Tade, solo indie dev from Manchester. Launching my first Mac app here on PH next Tuesday, Motivv

Quick pitch: every productivity tracker I've used just measures screen time. But screen time lies. 8 hours on your Mac isn't 8 hours of work; you switched apps 200 times, stared at Slack, and "researched" for an hour.

Motivv tracks the rhythm of your work instead of the volume:

Hey Product Hunt

I'm Tade, a solo indie dev based in Manchester. I build Mac and iOS apps, currently full-time on my own stuff after years of freelance + contract work.

I've shipped a few things: Haven Guide and Hubbit on iOS, and I'm about to launch my first Mac app here next week, Motivv, an honest focus tracker that grades how you actually work, not just how long you sat at your laptop.

I'm big on native, fast software and one-time pricing over subscriptions. Mostly built with Flutter and SwiftUI.

Genuine question for the builders and deep-work people here.

I've used basically every productivity tracker: RescueTime, screen time, Toggl, the lot. And I keep hitting the same problem: they tell me I spent 8 hours "working," but they have no idea whether I was actually locked in or just bouncing between Slack, email, and 14 browser tabs pretending to research.

8 hours on a Mac 8 hours of work. We all know this. But almost no tool measures the difference.

So I've spent the last few months building one. It tracks focus blocks (sustained time in one app) and drift moments (rapid switching that signals you've lost the thread) and gives you an honest work rate per session, not just a minute count.
