Focus Reel, a focus timer with visual reflection

Focus Reel is a new kind of focus app. Studies show that seeing yourself in a mirror can increase self-awareness, effort, and attention[1][2][3]Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1971Opinion change and performance facilitation as a result of objective self-awarenessRobert A. Wicklund and Shelley Duval. Structured timers can also support on-task attention and task performance[4][5]Behavior Therapy, 1976Increasing academic performance by using a timer as antecedent stimulusNancy Rainwater and Teodoro Ayllon. Focus Reel brings these ideas together to help you focus more intentionally.

Set your timer, name your task, and give yourself space to enter a flow state. When the session ends, see a visual record of your progress and reflect on the work you have done. Focus Reel is private, and your raw session data always stays on your device. Premium history stores only one heavily transformed thumbnail per completed session, designed not to be recognizable.

I’ve tried countless focus apps, but Focus Reel works for me. It hits the perfect buttons in my brain—the ones that make me want to focus and come back to the app. Knowing I’m recording myself helps me stay focused, and rewatching the highlights after the session is a fun reward.You, maybe
