👋 Hi ProductHunt, I'm Martin and I created Focu, a Mindful Productivity app for MacOS. I created a productivity app that helps you process thoughts and emotions. Some days we don't feel like it, some days we need some help breaking down a task, and some days, we're just grateful and happy. As someone with ADHD this has been very useful. Apple's latest generation Macs allow us to run AIs on our own devices, without compromising our privacy and data ownership, something that I really value. Another upside is no recurring AI costs and thus no subscription. Users use Focu for a variety of use cases: - Plan their day(s) - Accountability throughout the day - Keep a journal - Chat to work through random emotions Other features include: - Task list - Keyboard shortcuts - Customizations - Pomodoro Timer - Use any AI model from Ollama or HuggingFace Focu is updating constantly based on user feedback. There is an unlimited 3 day trial, no email or credit card required. ProductHunt users get 30% off a lifetime license with code PH30. I'd love to hear what you think!

@hamza_afzal_butt thank you! Long term memory / more context for the AI is on the roadmap! It's not that straightforward considering this is running a local AI and not a more powerful one in the cloud. So right now every session is standalone

nice work, Martin! Any privacy-concerns with the AI egressing data elsewhere, as some people's data/schedules are confidential?

@yusufzq7 thank you for your comment. The AI runs locally on your own device, no internet connection is required to use the app, apart from the initial download and installing the AI model. All data is stored on your own device. So no data ever hits Focu's or anyone else's server. Privacy is very important to me!

@busmark_w_nika Thank you! Yes, lifetime updates are included buy before v1 comes out. This will change eventually (for future buyers) to keep development sustainable.
