@giorgi_khatiashvili2 Fun! Not everyone has the luxury of working on the thing they love, but Focumon makes it easy for it to get into a consistency cadence!
@kjosephabraham The advice is to find your best community to serve and stick with them!
@milton_ren what a great concept. Especially in today's world where you can easily be distracted using a tool that helps you gamify it will help you to stay on track. Absolutely love it.
I love this so much. Huge fan that you made it collaborative as well. It actually makes me want to focus/study more so my creatures can level up. Nice job @milton_ren and congrats on the launch!
Congratulations on the app!
Would really like to learn about the backstory? What motivated you to come up with focumon?
💡 Bright idea
Congrats on the launch @milton_ren! Love the concept and the art work and just how polished the product is!
One thing though is I found the flow a bit complex for someone learning how to use the product. For example, you can start out the user on a starting island/city/town, so they don't have to think about the gym. They can type out what they want to do, and to-dolist is generated and points are given to each task. A few ways to reduce the options users have to make, otherwise, for me, it felt a bit too much. I also don't know what the other options are other than Pomodoro.
But, this idea of growing a digital pet is awesome!
Hope you grow so much that you receive a cease and desist from Nintendo, and you have to create your own world like Palworld did.
@tonyhanded Thanks for the suggestions! Fingers crossed Nintendo ignores me forever : )
This is so cute and fun! I can’t even express how much I’ve enjoyed these design games since childhood. You’ve taken it to another level, and now we can use it at work to really step up our game. Game plus work—what a fun app! congratulations 🙌🏽
Love the idea. To build up a community of goal oriented people using their childhood passion is ingenious, Milton. Congratulations.
@olgaialovenko Thanks for your support! There are a few of community-oriented features in Focumon! Check it out : )
Gamification helps a lot in formig habits and building for sure requires one.
This is a cool attempt in doing that 😎
@ekrcet Thank you so much! There are still a bunch of rough spots around the edge but I'll try my best.
This looks so fun! My kid is a huge Pokemon fan. Excited to try it out. Congrats on the launch @milton_ren
@yanaw Thanks a lot for your support! I'm a long term Pokemon fan myself and this is essentially my love letter to the franchise : )
Nothing beats gamification, especially when it comes to habit forming. This is a solid approach @milton_ren. What inspired this product?
@perewari Thanks Pere! I made a very similar product last year called Focusverse, which was kinda meh but there was a handful of users sticking around. So I decided to make a 10x better version for them early this year!
Love this idea - been a huge pokemon fan since I was a kid (and productivity fan since I was an adult!)
Keen to check this out and congrats on the launch
@fluency I'm also a long time Pokemon fan and this is essentially my love letter to the franchise. Thank you for your support!
Congrats on the launch Milton!
Gamification is proven to be effective, and it's great to see Focumon is bringing this to the productivity space. Can't wait to give it a try.
@danielwchen I'll do my best to make it the best gamified productivity app on the internet 🌎
Congratulations on the launch, very cool idea, has room for tons of new features, good job and best wishes.
This is a super fun idea! Just curious, how does the leveling up work? And can you choose your own rewards or are they preset? Sounds like a cool way to stay motivated!
@elizabeththompson2 Your monsters gain experience whenever you are in focus (self-reported). Once they accumulate enough EXP you can level them up, and even evolve them!
fellow buildspacer here- congratulations on the launch! such an innovative idea to gamify productivity, plus the pixelated pokemons are too cute! can't wait to give it a try! lfg!
@aniruddha_j buildspace fam! thank you for your support and love the lowercase comment : )
I absolutely love it, just started a focus session with my new Brawlbunny :) Fire type is always the best starter for some reason haha. Congratulations on the launch @milton_ren !
@laurenz_sommerlad Whoa thank you for actually signing up! Fire type all the way 🔥🔥
Congratulations on the launch @milton_ren. This definitely feel like a fun way to get tasks done. I see it has multiplayer, which is awesome, I'm just wondering if you've considered extending its functionalities to support project-based tasks for teams?
@edunge Thank you so much for your support! Team support has been brought up for a few times and might happen in 2025. Will update as I go!
Absolutely love this app!
Seriously, it's helped me become so much more productive. Prior to discovering the app, I would think I was "studying the whole time" when in reality I was getting distracted by social media for a considerable amount of time.
Focumon allows me to keep track of exactly how long I've been focusing and how long I was in "break" for. The gamification is very well executed and highly motivating, making it even more enjoyable to use!
Additionally, Milton is such a nice dude and I love how he listens to feedback and actively engages with and updates the community (the discord server)
