Your focus time might be lying to you.

Most of us track hours. Almost none of us track whether those hours are pointed at the right thing.

There's a quiet trap that builders fall into. You open your tracker at the end of the week, see a solid block of focused hours, and feel good. Productive. On track. But on track toward what, exactly?

That's the gap this update closes. The app now personally analyzes your logged focus time — not just how much, but whether it actually aligns with your stated goals.

"You've been spending 70% of your focus hours on distribution — but your goal this month is to ship the core feature."


What changed

This update brings two things: a smarter analysis layer, and a new pricing model. The analysis runs on grok 4.1 fast — quick enough to feel instant, capable enough to reason about your patterns rather than just count them.

The new model is simple: bring your own API key, and it's free to use. The inference cost sits with you, but at the usage level most builders hit:

  • ~$1–2/month on average
  • No subscription
  • No lock-in

Less than a coffee. For a tool that tells you whether your actual working hours are building toward your actual goals.


Why it's worth it

The hardest thing about building independently isn't shipping — it's staying honest about where your time is really going. It's easy to stay busy. It's hard to stay aligned.

This tool doesn't manage your time. It doesn't gamify your day or send you nudges. It just gives you one clear read: is your focus matching your priorities, or quietly drifting from them?

If you're a weekly or monthly builder who sets goals and actually wants to know if you're hitting them — this is the check-in layer that's been missing.


To get started: add your API key in settings. Estimated cost based on typical builder usage with grok 4.1 fast.
