Hyperfocus - Better screen time hygiene, now on macOS.

Hyperfocus intelligently scans for sessions of continuous screen usage and prompts you to take breaks at the right time, only when it's important to do so from health perspective, based on the recommendations of the leading ophthalmologists and ergonomics experts.

Hey everyone, After a too long period of development we've finally launched. We hope you'll give Hyperfocus a try and let us know what you think. Since this is my first launch, I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but to give a brief introduction, Hyperfocus is meant to create a dent in the bad screen time habits of those who spend a long time in front of their Macs or make a living out of it. The Hyperfocus app is available for free in the macOS App Store as of now. We consider that being in the App Store provides some guarantees regarding privacy and safety, but we've also went the extra mile and decided to not do any data collection, not even the usage logs. The core functionality is meant to be free and provide the benefits of a better screen hygiene to as many users as possible. The PLUS version is powered by a subscription and is dedicated entirely to professionals, offering only quality of life improvements over the free version, like Unskippable Breaks, Slack status updates, Interactive notifications and a few others, with more coming soon. You can see our presentation website at https://hyperfocus.health, or download Hyperfocus from the macOS App Store. --- I wish we had a way of offering Promo Codes for the PLUS version, but the code logic is not there right now, and after wrestling with the StoreKit APIs for a while, it will take a bit until we'll have the power to get the code handling implementation in place. But it will happen since we really want to offer student discounts. I can just promise that once we'll have the Promo Codes handling in place I'll get in touch with everyone in this thread who is interested, to give out the codes and slash off the subscription price for a few months.

Congratulations on your launch! 🚀 Good design and motivation, I'll give it a try - still not found suitable tool to manage my breaks, perform stretches and eyes relaxation. Keep doing! 👍

@asaskevich Thank you! I hope it will help. 🙏 We will be adding a new feature soon that will offer an even better quality of eye care during screen time, that will help with eye relaxation without requiring you to take a break. Stay tuned! 🙌
