Hi everyone 👋 I built Deep Work because I realized I was spending plenty of time working, but not always making meaningful progress. A few messages, emails, or quick distractions were enough to break my focus, and getting back into a deep state of work often took longer than I expected. After reading Deep Work by Cal Newport and experimenting with focus sessions, reducing context switching, and reflecting on my work habits, I noticed a real improvement. So I decided to build a tool for myself. Deep Work is intentionally simple: • Create focused work sessions • Get reminders when it's time to start • Reflect on whether each session was focused or distracted • Review your focus patterns over time I also wanted to remove as much friction as possible, so the app includes widgets, Live Activities, Siri, and Shortcuts support. My goal wasn't to build another productivity system. I wanted something lightweight that helps people protect their attention and spend more time on meaningful work. I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improving it. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
