Genuine question for the builders and deep-work people here.
I've used basically every productivity tracker: RescueTime, screen time, Toggl, the lot. And I keep hitting the same problem: they tell me I spent 8 hours "working," but they have no idea whether I was actually locked in or just bouncing between Slack, email, and 14 browser tabs pretending to research.
8 hours on a Mac 8 hours of work. We all know this. But almost no tool measures the difference.
So I've spent the last few months building one. It tracks focus blocks (sustained time in one app) and drift moments (rapid switching that signals you've lost the thread) and gives you an honest work rate per session, not just a minute count.

@tadedev The distinction you're making between focus rhythm and screen time is spot on—that's the gap most tools miss. The focus blocks and drift moments framework sounds like it actually maps to how work feels, not just how surveillance software measures it. Curious how you're handling the edge cases where someone's genuinely thinking (no app switching) versus procrastinating in a single window.
@saulfleischman This is the edge case i’ve spent the most time on, tbh. The core signal is contextual: the same stillness in Xcode reads differently from the same stillness on X. Motivv weighs app categories alongside motion patterns against your own session baseline rather than global rules. Still not fully perfect, though.

@tadedev I'll just add that if you would like a promotional "war room" for your projects, see The Den in mentionfox.com Engagement HQ for everywhere and to everyone you should comment/reply on, a Grants Search module, Accellerators Search & Apply Advice, and far more. Without it I'd be hard-pressed as a solopreneur.
