Hi Product Hunt 👋 I’m Jason, the maker of RockFocus. RockFocus began while I was building another app about breathing. My days were filled with small but necessary tasks—fixing a bug, adjusting an interaction, refining a sound, or rewriting a line. None of them was dramatic, but by the end of the day, it often felt as though all that effort had left no visible trace. The image of Sisyphus—returning to the same rock and choosing to continue—gave that feeling a shape. I wanted to build a focus timer that did not ask people to optimise every minute or turn productivity into a competition. RockFocus is quieter than that: * Choose what a focus session is for * Move a rock up the hill as time passes * Leave a short thought afterwards, or leave the moment untouched * Review your rocks, minutes, calendar rhythms, labels, and returning interests in Ground * Keep your focus records on your device and, when available, in your private iCloud RockFocus is free to use, with optional Pro features for people who want to build a fuller long-term practice. That support also helps me continue developing the app. It is made for developers, designers, researchers, writers, students, and anyone committed to work whose results may take time. * For this launch, I would especially value your feedback on two things: * Does the rock metaphor make focused effort feel more tangible? After completing several sessions, which part of Ground helps you understand your time most clearly? Thank you for taking a look. Notice what you keep returning to. FAQ Who is RockFocus for? RockFocus is for developers, designers, researchers, writers, students, and anyone committed to work that takes time. If there is something you keep returning to, RockFocus can help you see it more clearly. Is RockFocus free? You can use RockFocus for free, with the option to upgrade for additional features. Your support helps RockFocus continue to improve and go further. Where is my focus data stored? Your focus sessions, labels, and thoughts stay on your device and, when available, sync through your private iCloud. RockFocus does not operate its own server for these records. Which platforms does RockFocus support? RockFocus is currently available for iPhone through the Apple App Store.
