I absolutely love the app! Not gonna lie, this is exactly THE APP I had been looking for for the past 2 years. I'm super glad I found it :) It has definitely boosted my productivity level and helped me manage stress with its super cool and easy to use features!!!
I use focus bear everyday. Watch the youtube videos for guidance. A+++ app! Well done Jeremy & team. And I respectfully disagree with George Frigo's review in terms of 'making the Late No More notification 'more friendly.'' Keep doing what you're doing Jeremy! Don't make your app like others. Your unique vision is what drew me in. If you look like every other app notification wise, your app will lose it's flavor :)
This app was a discovery. It has helped me quite well especially with blocking distracting websites, adding friction to things where I tend to just get lose track of time.
I do want to explore how the IOS app version could help me out. Keep up the good work.
I've been using focus bear desktop for a few months and overall, this helps me immensely with my bipolar 1. I feel a massive difference in my stress levels, sleep, energy and focus when I use it versus when I don't. The break features help me manage stress, burnout and brain inertia. The routines helps me anchor the day. I love that I can customize them too so that I can either listen to podcast, follow a video or use another app. I love the habit frequency bit to guide my days. It reminds me to take a break to help prevent my symptoms from flaring up. It helps me focus and I feel a surge of dopamine every time it confirms I finish a focus block, or completed my routines. Highly recommended!
I really like Focus Bear. As an Assistive Technology Support Officer at Third level, I see how Focus Bear can support students who struggle with procrastination, completing tasks and planning. One of my favourite features is helping students stay focussed when reading online as it prevents students drifting or clicking off the point as it prompts them to get back on topic or relevant content. Finally, I find the developers supportive and responsive to suggestions and ideas.
