Mass layoffs are still shaping the job market in 2026, and the hardest part for many people is not finding opportunities, but staying consistent long enough to reach them.
That s one reason we built Focido around accountability, progress, and human momentum. The problem is rarely I don t know what to do. It s I stopped doing it after the third discouraging day.
We just rolled out Focido 1.5.3. Focido is a social to-do app built around human follow-through, where real people help motivate each other to get tasks done. This update focuses on product clarity and smoother day-to-day use.
What s new in 1.5.3:
View motivator profiles before inviting.
Bigger invite button in Find Motivators.
Instant comment count updates after posting.
Send button now shows progress and blocks duplicate comments.
Faster app startup.
Fixed premium status persisting after logout.
Task limit now shows an upgrade dialog instead of failing silently.
Fixed Android registration screen overlap.
Why it matters: This release is about reducing friction in the exact places where motivation can break. Users should know who they re inviting, see that their comment posted, understand when they hit a limit, and get through onboarding without UI issues.
Focido is built on a simple insight: people don t just want motivation - they want to give it too. Research shows that helping others can increase wellbeing, strengthen belonging, create a helper s high, and make people feel more purposeful.
That s why Focido turns accountability into a social role, not just a personal productivity tool.
Curious: "Human Premium" why human support trumps AI in productivity apps. Research: Supportive Accountability model shows humans excel via rapport. Gen Z leans human 55-70%.
As we build (like social to-dos), how are you weaving this in?
We ve just joined the Limb accelerator, a 5-week program focused on fundraising readiness, investor materials, and turning an early startup into something a bit less chaotic and a bit more investable.
We re building Focido, a social to-do app based on one simple idea: people follow through more often when another human is part of the loop. Not more productivity noise, not more AI fluff, not another system that looks smart and gets ignored after 3 days. Just real human accountability, in a lightweight format that helps people actually do the thing.
