Creative Command - A focus app that holds you hostage until you make progress

Thanks for checking out Creative Command 👋 We didn’t build this because focus tools were broken. We built it because we were. We were tired of fooling ourselves--sitting still, doing nothing, and somehow still feeling productive. Most apps let you log time passively. Creative Command doesn’t. The timer only runs when you’re actually working. Stop engaging with your work? The session pauses. We’re a two-person team (a developer and a writer) trying to protect the kind of deep, meaningful work that usually gets buried beneath notifications, busywork, existential dread, and the thousand ways we avoid doing what really matters. This isn’t just about blocking apps and websites. It’s about blocking the exits your mind invents—fear, doubt, perfectionism, and the sweet lie that you’ll start “later.” With Creative Command, you can’t run out the clock. You have to show up and do the work.
