Focumon

Western Governors University

My productivity has gone up by more than 100% since using Focumon 🚀. I've managed to get more work done in a week than in the past two months!

I am terrible with procrastination 😅 but knowing that there are other people out there focusing on their tasks with me makes me feel more accountable to stay on task! Monster collecting is very unique IMO and it reminds me a lot of my Tamagotchi days (circa 2000s lol)! Overall I really like how lightweight & cute the product is.

Thanks to Focumon, I've been more regular with my productivity bursts. My time of focus has also increased on average over time, and it is super motivating when multiple trainers are active at one go - makes me feel awesome!

I've always found it hard to 'just get going' when I'm facing a large workload or when I lack the motivation to work on my hobbies. Now, with Focumon at hand, the app genuinely gets me excited to work on my tasks! I still struggle with burnout and still have difficulty starting something sometimes, but just opening up Focumon and seeing all my little mons can be the push I need. My habits have slowly been improving ever since adding Focumon into my routine. I would recommend Focumon to just about anyone looking for a focus app, especially someone who loves digital monsters, collecting, and games!

Focumon made my studying more enjoyable in general even when i'm not feeling it! 😆 It really made me much much productive and i'm still enjoying it to the fullest.. and i kinda reeled my friends to it too and we fought the boss together x)

Today I finally reached what I didn't think I could. I finally caught up with all my Nursing School homework and submitted everything. I feel such a weight lifted off of me. And Focumon definitely had a good part in motivating me :3

Focumon is not only an adorable delight of collecting cute critters and watching them level up at the end of your work sessions: it's also been critical to me finishing a draft of a novella this week! Thanks to a customizable set of timer options and a variety of ways to remind me to take actual breaks, I'm not only able to relax and let my ADHD hyperfocus, but I'm also able to break free of it, remembering to hydrate, eat lunch, stretch, and take a walk away from my screen. Fewer headaches, who'd have thought?

With its playful way of depicting work effort and progress, Focumon has helped me organize my tasks and manage my focus/break time without making it look like a chore. I really enjoy using it alongside my work and free time, and it helps me get into focus, maintain a healthy momentum to get me through the day, and do so in a social manner I never expected to be so effective.

I'm so thankful for Focumon because it truly has helped with my productivity. The flexibility of the timing system (being able to work however long you want + being able to set timers) and having your break time calculated for you makes studying for longer periods much easier. I love the cute designs and the gamification for productivity makes me look forward to doing stuff. This has quickly become a core part of my life and any time I'm looking to do anything productive I make sure to use Focumon I can't wait for the new updates to come and I'm so glad Milton is so responsive and takes feedback from the community!

Love the interactiveness and encouragement to do all of the things.. I've gotten so much stuff done tonight thanks to Focumon 💃🏻

I use Focumon every day and love being able to focus on tasks knowing that each session helps me collect and train all the cutest little Focumon. A huge plus for me is the body-doubling effect I get by being able to see all of the other trainers that join my training center while I'm in focus mode. I use their presence as motivation to complete my goals, knowing that other people are working on their goals at the same time.

I've used Pomodoro timers in the past and found them helpful but they don't tend to stick. I'm a big fan of cozy games - anything where I get to collect things is awesome. It's been really fun to earn little focusmon who hang out with me while I work. Now that I'm using it I've really enjoyed working with others. It's been neat to hop into other people's focus sessions.

I've really enjoyed using Focumon so far! Getting little guys to train up is really motivating to me. The developer is also very active and has been frequently tweaking and adding things to Focumon to make it better. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot :-)

Focumon has a great balance of gamification and focus features. There’s enough gamification to make it motivating, but the gaming aspect does not take away too much from your break times. The developer is very open to community feedback and is working hard to create a great focus app for his users. The community itself is friendly and helpful, and it’s an interesting experience to be able to contribute and help this wonderful app grow. Focumon is still in the growing stage of development, so certainly join if you’d like to contribute to its growth as well!

I had just finished a Learning How to Learn course 📖📚 by Barbara Oakley and a main idea often mentioned in her techniques for productivity and focus was the use of Pomodoro timers. When I found your project, I was immediately drawn to the unique expression of this technique to help me stay motivated and focused. Whether it be the collecting and evolving of monsters through the continued momentum of achieved results, or the sleek aesthetic of the interface as a whole, the main draw was the enthusiasm to stay focused, productive, and to have a unique caveat to demonstrate and sustain that level of achievement.

Just an appreciation toward a cool new project that I think deserves so much more attention. I'm sure many people will love this as much as I do. www.Focumon.com is a web app that works as a perfect companion when you need to boost your motivation in completing your daily tasks. What's even better about this is that it's multi-player (if you've used Habitica or Forest you'll probably be familiar with stuff like that): you can focus together with other people in real-time and doing that you can collect Focumon and objects to evolve them... I love pretty much everything on this project! but above all, Milton is updating it daily listening to the community requests. Thanks for this amazing job!

Since I started using Focumon, I have managed to do more things and procrastinate less. My main struggle when doing things is to start making them, but using Focumon has pushed me nicely towards starting them rather than procrastinating the starting point.

My life is one big chasm between executive dysfunction and gamification, and Focumon helps me to get to the other side each day! 🌅
