Hey Product Hunt! We built Serene to enable remote workers to get their focus back and do their best work, free of digital distractions, in one click. Combining over a dozen focus-enhancing techniques, Serene will: 🎯Prompt you to plan your day around one clear goal that matters ⏰Break your day into clearly defined intervals of focused work 🚫Block access to distracting websites and apps during focus sessions 📊Track your productivity & common distractions 🎶Enhance your concentration with focus music We’d love to hear your feedback or feature suggestions we could include which would help you focus and do more of your best work! Feel free to leave a comment below :) PS - In the next few months, we'll also be launching Serene for teams, allowing you to track team productivity & distractions, get visibility on whether your colleagues are in deep work, and more. We're currently looking for 10 small teams (5-15 people) to beta test this - let me know in the comments if you're interested!

@marcusataylor I think you accidentally packaged some extra stuff (e.g. node_modules) during the Electron build. The app is 500MB. Drop me a note if you need a hand sorting it out.

@mike_seekwell Thanks Mike, will give our dev team a heads up to look into how we can reduce it. I know a big chunk of the file size is the long music files we need for the focus music, but I think there's definitely some Electron pruning to be done! ✂️⚛️

@marcusataylor I understand the beauty in the simplicity of "one clear goal that matters." However, providing no way for including additional daily goals severely limits and restricts usage of Serene for people who can buy in to the product and who are also following a "Daily Big 3" type of methodology, or even for people who simply want to use Serene but also want to include more than a single daily goal. I rarely have only one goal for the day. I usually have a minimum or three real, quantifiable, realistic goals for the day. Thanks for the free year of PRO. I will certainly use it as is and provide additional feedback as I have it. I hope you consider adding the ability to include additional goals per day, otherwise, I can't see this becoming a must-have, must-use app for me, as much as I love the concept.

Simple, intuitive and combines the functionality of multiple apps which you would have needed before Serene

Pros: - Simple interface (no clutter) - Works on desktop (disconnected from Chrome clutter ;)) Cons: - Needs an easy like macbook-no-brainer onboarding process

Solid app!! If you can add the ability to extend a session when it's finished that would be awesome. @marcusataylor

@sarthak Cheers Sarthak! Do you mean add additional sessions when you finish a session or extend say a 30-min session to 45-mins midway through a session?
Sarthak Nayak
@marcusataylor - I mean extending a session by 10-20mins... (similar to a snooze button) when the session ends. I noticed while using the app that sometimes you just need a little extra time to finish the specific session/task and to keep things organized, it'd be nice if you could extend the session vs. creating a new one. - another approach could be; allowing users to reopen a finished session if the user marks it as NOT-DONE or HALF-DONE. I also think it'll give your team and users a great metric to track in the long run - seeing how often someone completes sessions in the given timeline vs. extending the session. Regardless the app is awesome, this is just a "nice to have" for the next version!
