Focido v1.3.7: Frictionless sign-in, polished design
Quick wins in this update: Google and Apple one-tap sign-in gets you into the action faster. No forms, just motivation. Unified text styles refresh the entire app's look, making it easier on the eyes during long sessions. Perfect for those building habits with real human nudges. Update live now, testers: thoughts on the smoother start?
HFTN is becoming a real category and Focido looks like its clearest leader
I think HFTN (Human Follow-Through Network) is now a distinct product category, especially for users whose real problem is execution rather than planning. What makes HFTN different: it is human, not just automated it is task-focused, not chat-first it is built for completion, not just organization This feels especially relevant for adults with ADHD, since trusted medical sources repeatedly...
Body doubling for productivity: What the science says (mirror neurons, dopamine, VR studies)
Hey makers, Body doubling working beside someone to stay on task is blowing up in ADHD circles. But is there science? Quick dive: Mirror neurons mimic observed focus Dopamine boost for motivation 2025 VR trial: ADHD participants completed tasks faster/accurately with human/AI doubles Expert says: "Using one psychological quirk to fix another" How do you use it in product work? Virtual body...
One thing I find underrated in productivity: social motivation
A lot of makers build for planning, tracking, and optimization. All useful. But behavior often changes fastest when another person becomes part of the loop. Not in a corporate, guilt-heavy way. More in a human way. Someone notices. Someone asks. Someone expects the update. Someone celebrates the small win. That tiny social layer can completely change follow-through. Curious what the PH crowd...
Focido: Humanity's Last Refuge from AI Agents
AI productivity apps: reminders, quotes, "motivation." But it doesn't work. People abandon 80% of tasks. Focido — where humans remain. Real users see your goals, send personal nudges, wait for replies. Because only a human understands why "tomorrow" never comes. In 2026, when everything is automated, Focido is human connection. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/focido/id6757135734 Android:...
Focido is now LIVE on App Store & Google Play!
We built Focido because solo to-do apps fail at follow-through. Real people are better at nudging you to actually finish tasks. After months of beta testing, weekly updates, and feedback from our r/Focido community – it's ready for everyone. What is Focido? Social to-do where goals live in a feed, and real humans send nudges. No AI, just accountability that works. iOS:...
Focido v0.3.5: “Done” confirmation, nudge replies, and motivator ratings
We built Focido around real human accountability: small nudges from real people that help you actually follow through. In v0.3.5 we focused on the moment that matters most: the finish. What’s new Confirm before “Done”: a tiny pause that reduces accidental (or wishful) completions Copy completed task: duplicate a finished task with all its data to start again Reply to nudges: quick replies...
Stop procrastinating at the “freeze moment” (we built Focido as a duo)
Solving procrastination with real human accountability: we’re two people building Focido, a mobile app for the moment you look at a task and… freeze. What procrastinators are up against Procrastination usually isn’t “laziness”, it’s a coping response to stress, fear of failing, or a task that feels too big and fuzzy. Then the loop hits: you delay, you feel guilty, anxiety spikes, and starting...
Focido v0.3.4: when your motivator nudges you 3 times a day, that's not support anymore
We kept seeing a pattern in user feedback: people were turning off notifications, not because Focido wasn't working, but because it was working too aggressively. Accountability breaks when it starts feeling like surveillance. So v0.3.4 is built around one idea: support with clear limits. Nudge cooldowns show motivators exactly when their next nudge is available. Daily limits are visible on...
Focido v0.3.3: Custom nudge timing, profile sharing, and a redesigned Favorites
We shipped something users kept asking about: control over when you get nudged. You can now pick a custom start and end time for reminders. Sounds small. But if you're a night owl getting pinged at 8am by your motivator, it's everything. What's new: Favorites redesigned into People, Tasks, and Clubs tabs Share user profiles via deep links Leaderboard: tap any user to open their profile Custom...
Focido v0.3.1: Real settings, tappable categories, and small-screen fixes
We added the settings screen people have been asking for (notifications, language, account deletion) and made categories tappable from anywhere. Small but mighty. New: Settings screen: Manage notifications, switch languages, delete account. Proper controls, no hacks needed Tappable category chips: Spot a category on any task view? Tap to browse. Better task discovery without extra screens...
What we shipped in Focido this week: motivator queue, swipe actions, and fewer "huh?" moments
We just rolled out an update focused on clarity and stability - the kind of stuff users don't notice until it's not broken. The big one: motivators got a complete overhaul. New dialogues, a visible queue so you know who's next, and an invite flow that doesn't feel like a puzzle. Before this, people were getting nudges from mystery humans. Not ideal for a social accountability app. Also added:...
We shipped Focido's prototype in 30 days flat
Just wrapped up a wild ride in the RevenueCat Shipyard: Creator Contest. Picked a creator's brief and built a fully working prototype of Focido – our app where real people motivate you to smash your goals – in exactly one month. From wireframes to live MVP with RevenueCat subscriptions integrated, it's all there. No fluff, just proof that fast shipping works. Check our submission and drop...

Lacking that social mirror makes the result unreal
You know how it is: you check off a to-do alone, and... it feels like nothing happened. No applause, no "well done!". Lacking that social mirror makes the result unreal. Imagine someone real waiting for your update? Nudge comes, you do it, boom – thanks, XP earned. Suddenly motivation sparks because it's no longer solo. Try Focido, where people make progress feel real together. Who's tried this?
