Better Project and Task Planning

It would be great if Focu could have an in-built task manager and project manager tab. Adding ‘scheduled’ dates as well as ‘due’ dates, could help Focu’s AI suggest what I should be working on today. I love Focu’s ADHD support features, but with my ADHD I struggle to confirm what I should be doing in a day - if Focu could tell me, that would be great. The other benefit of this, is if I just said: “Hi Focu, I want to focus on the ‘X’ project today”, Focu could pull up all the tasks within that project that I can work on. This blended with task dependency features as well as scheduling based upon a synced iCloud calendar would make it the PERFECT ADHD helper!

Integrate MacOS Calendar and Reminders

Some ideas on how to integrate: AI could have context on your current calendar and reminders AI could add things to your calendar and reminders

Support more operating systems

Currently only Mac Silicon chips are supported. Most prominently missing are: Linux Mac Intel Windows

Task list <> Todoist sync

Tasks entered in a specific project in Todoist should be automatically sync to Focu and visa versa.

Integrate external journal apps

Such as DayOne Journal or Apple Journal The app could allow you to import entries from other apps to talk about

Task Logging

Along the same lines as the planned journal mode, a quick action to log tasks completed throughout the day. Along with journaling where I’;m at / check-in, this will give the model a lot to discuss at the end of the day by correlating how I was doing, with when tasks were logged as working on / completed.

Minimal task list on menu bar

Currently, on the menu bar, Focu displays the Pomodoro timer. When you click on it, it shows the task you’re focusing on. I’m thinking of a simple task list that can be checked off directly from the menu bar, where each Pomodoro session can cover more than one task. It might be best to show the entire task list for the day with some extra options, like in this example: This way, everything stays clean and easy to manage right from the menu bar.

macOS: Widget support

Accessing Focu via desktop widgets would make it more accessible.

Copy tasks from yesterday...

App doesn't fit into 1168x755

Cloud sync

It should be possible to sync your data via iCloud. Alternatively manual import and export of the database should be supported.

Improved Pomodoro

The pomodoro feature is quite basic, some easy ideas to improve it are: Sound during pomodoro (clock ticking?) Sound when pomodoro ends (alarm?) Popup when timer has ended, potentially with a “bounce”? With the ability to turn above settings on/off for the people who want it.

Floating Task Window and Timer

Having some sort of floating mini window for the task you are focusing on would be great to have to helpful forgetful folks like me. Here is an example:

Integrate Raycast Focus

Raycast focus can help block websites: https://www.raycast.com/core-features/focus With deeplinks it should be possible to start a Raycast focus session when we trigger a Focu focus session: https://manual.raycast.com/focus

Journal mode

Right now the main interactions with the app are through traditional chat based conversations. A good addition to the app would be a journal mode, the main difference would be instead of directly conversing with an AI you jot your thoughts down throughout the day and then later you can, if you want, chat with the AI about what you journaled.

AI should have more context ("memory")

Some ideas: Context on your other chats from today or the past Context on your current todo’s Context from 3rd party apps

Support Cloud AI/OpenAI compatible endpoints

Focu should support Cloud AI. There are two ways to do it: Bring your own API key (ie. any endpoint with OpenAI support should work) Subscription offered by Focu itself Also see https://focu.featurebase.app/p/accept-lm-studio-api

macOS: Minimize on close/Menu bar support

It would be great if Focu didn't quit on closing. Instead, it would be nice to have it run in the background or be accessible from the menu bar.

Data export/import

Currently data is stored in IndexedDB on the user’s device and is not easily accessible. We should add a feature to export and import this data. Even better if it can be done periodically to a folder of choosing.

Short permanent context

Focu should let users share some basic, permanent details about themselves to give better advice or suggestions. This could include things like their name, job, how they describe themselves, and what they’re hoping to achieve. This way, the app can tailor its responses to fit their needs more closely. A simple plain text editor should do the job.

macOS: Window is not easy to move

Moving the window via the top bar selects the text of the app and the window doesn’t move.

Show all chats instead of just by day

[Bug] Add task button fails on click

Seems to be a bug with the click action, sharing the recording for review https://app.gemoo.com/share/home?codeId=DWqakY0OxBZY4

Check-in history

The check-in history is stored in the app, but it’s currently not possible to view it. It would be nice to add a screen where the check-in history can be displayed, ie. with a graph of your selected answers.

Accept Lm Studio api

Instead of using its own Olama, I would love to be able to use my Own LLM in an OpenAI-compatible API (in my case, LM Studio). This allows me to reduce space consumption on my machine, avoiding duplicate LLM files and unnecessary processes.
