Most productivity is fake.

Real progress happens when you ignore 99 things to nail one.

The Problem

Open your task manager. How many tasks do you see? 20? 50? 137?

The productivity industrial complex wants you to believe that managing 47 color-coded projects makes you productive. That checking off 20 trivial todos equals progress.

It doesn't.

Most days, you respond to emails, attend meetings, reorganize your task list, and go to bed feeling vaguely unsatisfied. Another day wasted.

The Solution

One task. Two hours. Zero bullshit.

Each day, choose ONE thing that, if completed, would make you feel like you actually lived today.

Hit start. For the next two hours, the world doesn't exist. It's just you and your work. No notifications. No excuses. No escape routes.

At the end, face the truth: What did you actually accomplish?

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built for people who are serious about getting deep work done.

One Daily Focus Goal

Choose ONE thing that matters. Not a to-do list. One task that, if completed, makes your day a win.

Focus Timer

Enter "the arena" with a distraction-free timer. Screen stays awake. Pause and resume when life happens.

App Blocking

Block distracting apps using iOS Screen Time. A shield appears if you try to open blocked apps during focus.

Distraction Tracking

See how many times you left the app. Celebrate perfect sessions with zero distractions.

Shutdown Ritual

End each day intentionally with a 3-step shutdown. Capture loose ends, review tomorrow, close your day.

Track what you actually ship.

Not what you planned. Not what you were busy with. What you completed.

What people are saying.

Real users, real focus.

Questions? We've got answers.

Pick ONE task each day that matters most. Start a focus session and work for 2 uninterrupted hours (customizable). The app blocks distracting apps, tracks your focus time, and helps you build a streak of productive days. At the end of each day, complete the Shutdown ritual to close out your workday intentionally.

Most productivity is fake. Real progress happens when you ignore 99 things to nail one. By forcing you to choose just one thing, Hardcore Focus helps you focus on what actually matters instead of shuffling through endless to-do lists.

Hardcore Focus uses Apple's Screen Time API to block apps during focus sessions. You choose which apps or categories to block. If you try to open a blocked app, a shield screen appears reminding you to stay focused.

We collect zero data. Period. Your focus sessions, tasks, and personal information stay on your device. If you enable iCloud Sync, data syncs through your private iCloud account - we never see it.

What will you get done today?

Stop pretending. Start producing.
