Star Focus: Productivity Timer

Turn every focus session into an interstellar flight.

Star Focus is a deep work timer reframed as travel between real stars from the HYG catalogue. Pick a session length, plot a route, lock in completely - and arrive somewhere new in the cosmos.

A FOCUS APP THAT EARNS LIGHT-YEARS

Built for anyone who fights distraction: knowledge workers, students, language learners, coders, writers and meditators. Lock in, beat distraction, train your attention. Every minute focused moves you forward.

A REAL STAR MAP IN YOUR POCKET

Star Focus is also a love letter to the night sky. The route map under your focus session is a real catalogue of 23,852 stars within 700 parsecs of the Sun, plus 204 known exoplanets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive. Every coordinate is real. Every distance is in real light-years. Tap any star during the route preview to see its constellation, spectral class, mass and known planets.

It is a great companion for amateur astronomers - every flight visits a real star you can look up tonight.
