FocusRoom is a calming, ADHD-friendly focus app that turns your work into guided space missions. Instead of overwhelming to-do lists, you choose one task and enter a distraction-free “focus universe.” Stay consistent, reduce burnout, track your progress, and build real focus habits with immersive missions, task management, streaks, and soothing space ambience.

🎉 Hey everyone! I finally launched the thing that was supposed to cure my inability to NOT check my phone every 4 minutes 👋😂
So… I built FocusRoom because my brain apparently runs on a mix of ADHD tendencies, random dopamine cravings, and the magical ability to open Instagram without even realizing I touched my phone.
I tried every “productivity” app out there —
some were so intense they made me feel like I was joining the military…
others had so many features I needed a tutorial just to start a timer.
I just wanted something calm.
Something simple.
Something that didn’t yell at me or congratulate me like I had just won the Olympics for studying 20 minutes.
So I built FocusRoom.
@riadjoul how do you see FocusRoom evolving for people with ADHD tendencies?

Congrats on the launch! As someone who gets overwhelmed easily, I really appreciate the ADHD-focused approach - it's rare to see.
One small thought: your current headline is good, but 'Your Brain Isn't Broken. Your Tools Are.' might resonate even more. So many productivity apps are ironically complicated and overwhelming. Yours clearly isn't.
Excited to see where this goes! 🎉"

@angela_nartey Thanks for this helpful message. That headline suggestion is actually really good and definitely closer to what FocusRoom is trying to communicate. You’re right about a lot of productivity tools overcomplicating things.
Glad the ADHD-friendly angle stands out. Appreciate you taking the time to share this! 🚀
@riadjoul happy to help! It's clear you really understand your audience - that makes all the difference.
Hope the launch has been going well?
Cool idea! When I need to concentrate, I just turn off my phone, messengers, start working on only one task, and put on headphones so that no one can distract me even offline. But it’s very hard!

Totally get that, staying focused offline is way harder than it sounds 😅
I’m actually adding an in-app feature to block distracting apps soon, so you won’t have to turn your whole phone off.
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀

I actually really like the way this is designed. Going to give it a try and report back! How did you end up with Space vs say like a Waterfall or jungle? (I'm glad you ended up in space btw).
Could be fun to be attacked by a Tie Fighter or something when "break time" comes haha. Congrats on the launch!

Congrats on the launch! 👏 How did you test what “calm” should feel like inside the app?
FocusRoom
@lliloulane Thanks! 👏
Honestly, a lot of it came from removing things rather than adding anything.
I kept stripping away buttons, text and micro-decisions until the screen felt quiet. Then I tested it with a few friends who get overwhelmed easily, whenever someone said “wait, what do I do here?” I simplified again.
So “calm” ended up being the absence of friction more than a specific design style.
Congrats on the launch! Love how you leaned into simplicity instead of adding more noise to the productivity space. Are you thinking about adding any gentle customization options over time?
FocusRoom
@vik_sh Thanks! Really appreciate that, keeping things simple is the whole mission.
And yes, light customization is definitely coming. Nothing that adds clutter, but things like theme variations, small ambient tweaks and mission-style options without breaking the calm vibe.
If you have any specific ideas in mind, I’m all ears! 🚀
