Calm, local-first screen time
The screen time app
your laptop deserves.
Focusly shows you where your hours go, gently. No accounts, no telemetry, no shame — just a calm view of your screen time, fully on your machine.
Calm, local-first screen time
Focusly shows you where your hours go, gently. No accounts, no telemetry, no shame — just a calm view of your screen time, fully on your machine.
The app
Today, Apps, Schedule, Insights, Settings — five pages, all using the same dark surfaces, the same warm amber accent, the same tabular numerals. The numbers are heroes. Nothing is hidden in a table.
Features
A 25-minute pomodoro that quietly nudges you when it's done. No alarms, no shame — pause whenever you need. Track your focus days and watch a streak build, without the productivity-app guilt.
See which apps and sites you actually use, and for how long. No keystrokes, no screenshots, no clipboard — just foreground time on the apps and pages you open.
Soft warnings when you hit a limit on any app or site. Hard termination only when you ask for it. You can always override — Focusly never locks you out.
Block apps during your work hours, or carve out a wind-down window before bed. Live preview shows what's blocked right now.
Privacy
We don't track keystrokes, clipboard, or screenshots. We don't have an account system. We don't phone home. Your usage history, schedules, and focus sessions live in a single SQLite file you can back up, move, or delete at any time.
No analytics. No telemetry. No "anonymous usage data" that isn't actually anonymous. If we add cloud features in the future, they'll be opt-in and end-to-end encrypted.
