Focus Ticker turns your productivity into a high-stakes stock market. You found one in-game startup, and every focus session grows your lifetime valuation. But there's a catch: if you leave the app and don't come back, your stock crashes instantly. Includes strict App Blocking to stop doomscrolling, Live Widgets to track your empire, and Bot Leaderboards to compete against. Built for students, workers and ADHD brains who find normal timers boring.

Hey PH! 👋 I’m a 17yo student. I built Focus Ticker because normal timers were too boring for my ADHD. The Concept: You found one in-game startup. Every focus session grows your lifetime valuation. If you leave the app, your stock crashes. Features: - App Blocking (no doomscrolling) - Live Widgets - Long-term Valuation tracking - Leaderboards - Smart Notifications I built this in SwiftUI during school breaks. Does the fear of "Bankruptcy" help you focus? Let me know! 👇

@imranli For 17 years old, the SwiftUI project looks really solid, respect! Regular Pomodoro timers are honestly too sterile and boring. The key thing here is balance, so the gamification and checking stats don’t turn into procrastination instead of work :)

I’ll test the widgets, thanks for the release!

Congrats! Cool idea - creating clear connection between focus and growth

Quick feedback. The signature in the setup has an issue. It only allows one consecutive draw, not multiple characters.

The 'normal timers are boring' take makes sense. Quick question: if life interrupts (kid needs something, urgent call), does the crash happen immediately, or is there a grace period to come back without penalty?

@klara_minarikova Hey, don't worry about crash! Crashes mostly happens when user doesn't focus for a long time. While you focused, it gets more and more valuation. 🙏🏻

Sick! Really interested concept

Congrats on the launch, Vusal! 🎉 The stock market/startup theme is a brilliant take on gamified focus - and at 17, this is impressive work!

As someone building a gamified Pomodoro timer myself (with a coffee brewing theme instead of stocks), I love seeing different creative approaches to the same "normal timers are boring" problem. The crash-on-exit feature is bold - real consequences make the game feel meaningful.

Your SwiftUI execution looks clean. I went the cross-platform route (iOS + Android with KMP) but there's something special about a native iOS experience. The ADHD focus is spot on - that's a real pain point that needs solutions.

Keep building! Would love to connect on X. 🚀
