hey everyone,
i built this because i got entirely overwhelmed by constant digital noise, notification spam, and cloud tracking. i wanted a clean, local-first workspace that lives entirely on my machine.
i’m opening a tiny early-access waitlist today to gather blunt, honest feedback from early adopters on the concept before finishing the code.
would love to hear your thoughts on the workflow layout and what tools you'd want built natively offline!

How does the on-device AI co-pilot actually perform on everyday hardware? I have a mid-range laptop and I'm curious whether it'll feel snappy or end up being the biggest bottleneck in an otherwise distraction-free setup.

@nevzaty1ns Don't worry at all. Focusel keeps all your data private and stored locally on your machine, but handles the heavy AI thinking quickly in the background so it won't drain your laptop's battery or slow down your system!

Curious how the on-device AI co-pilot handles bigger models. Does it require a beefy GPU to feel snappy or is it actually usable on something like a mid-tier MacBook Air?

@ada9wtl Great question! The AI processing doesn't rely on your device's GPU, so you don't need high-end hardware to get a smooth experience. Focusel is designed to run well on everyday laptops, including mid-tier MacBook Airs, while keeping your workspace fast and responsive.

Customizing the workspace felt surprisingly intuitive, and I actually forgot how nice it is to have flash cards built right in without bouncing between apps.

@aysunzhanyeue Thanks so much! That was exactly one of our goals-keeping everything in one place so you don't have to constantly switch between apps. Really glad the workspace felt intuitive!
