A Day After Launch, Someone Wrote About My Goblin 🧌

A day after launching CogniFocus on Product Hunt, Startup Fortune published a feature about the app. What I liked most is that they immediately understood the core idea: Most focus apps keep counting time even after you've disappeared into TikTok. That's exactly why I built CogniFocus | a focus app that reacts when your attention slips instead of just running a timer in the background. Pretty surreal seeing articles written about something that was just an idea a few months ago. Thanks to everyone who's supported the launch so far https://startupfortune.com/qasim...

The Goblin Hit Trending Before Launch 👀

Alright . After weeks of rebuilding onboarding, reactive flows, companion behavior, interruptions, website atmosphere, and basically the entire emotional feel of the app

CogniFocus is finally launching on Product Hunt on June 1

Somehow the Goblin already managed to hit Trending on PeerPush within 2 days, before launch while I was shipping v5.0.0:
redesigned onboarding
reactive/alive UX overhaul
improved Goblin behavior
Focus Shards progression
better Shield interruption flows

Still evolving everything heavily in public, but genuinely excited to finally ship this version.
