Will it give advice based on the results of the typing analysis? Like "Oh, man, u seem to be very stressed, just stop for a second and breeze, breeze in breeze out". "oh, here is a great meditation for you", "make pause", "it's time to switch activity", etc

@cn__katie With the first release, it only analyses your mood and typing activity but in future releases it might include suggestions on what to do as you wrote. It could also change your music based on how you feel. What would you like to see in a future release?
Raul Popa
@cn__katie it's a good idea, we're thinking of adding more features like this in the future.

@raulpopa @tamascristian Thank you for coming back to me! Appreciate your approach) well, how about weekly/monthly dashboards with the track of emotions/mindset? Some advice, articles about how to make mental health better based on the user's performance.
Alice Rodgers
@raulpopa @tamascristian would be nice to add integrations with customer support platforms like The Business Messenger by Intercom , or Drift 2.0 and a lof of similar sollutions. So that customer support specialists can understand the emotions/mental statement of the person contacted and provide the right approach in communication (better service, fewer escalations etc)

My fellow hunters! Let me introduce you to the first app that predicts your mood based on how you type. Shoutouts go out to the entire TypingDNA team for bringing this to life. But also, to you, the PH community for all your feedback in the last few years, and to the hundreds of people who contributed to our public research. We couldn’t have done this without you! 🙌 SO WHAT IS TYPINGDNA FOCUS? “What if you could improve your daily productivity by knowing your mood hour-by-hour?” Little did we know that this ⤴️ simple question would forever change how we think about productivity and mental health. TypingDNA Focus uses patent-pending typing biometrics technology to record how you type so you can discover when you’re most focused, tired, stressed, happy, energetic, and calm. You’ll know how you’re really feeling hour-by-hour, better plan your daily activities, and improve your productivity and mental health. - You’ll learn when you’re most focused & calm so you can better manage your to-do list - You’ll learn when you’re stressed & tired so you can take a quick walk to clear your mind before that next meeting - You’ll learn when you’re most energetic & happy so you can double-down and do more of those activities PRIVACY ABOVE ALL ELSE TypingDNA Focus tracks how you type, not what you type. Running in the background, our AI-based technology will analyze your typing patterns right on your device, so your typing data never leaves your computer. FREE TO USE Everyone starts with 3 trackable moods: Focused, Tired, Stressed We’ve also added 3 additional moods (Happy, Energetic, and Calm) that can be unlocked by helping us spread the word, or contributing to the public research program to make mood predictions even more accurate. 💃 🕺 WE NEED YOUR HELP Please remember Focus is an experimental beta and still has a few bugs to work through. We’re fine-tuning the mood predictions, but the more people who use it, the more accurate it becomes — giving you more predictable moods. MacOS users: Download Focus today. https://www.typingdna.com/focus Windows users: We're working 24/7 to expand. While you wait, contribute to the Public Research program and we’ll unlock all the features of Focus when it's available for Windows. 👉 WHO WE ARE We’re a proud Techstars NYC’18 alum, backed by Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI-focused fund). We’ve proven the market with Authentication API and TypingDNA Verify — our typing biometrics solution to replace SMS 2FA codes with better UX. And with the launch of Focus, we’re exploring just how far we can take typing biometrics to help society improve productivity and mental health. 🥇 PREVIOUS #1 PRODUCT OF THE DAY The PH community previously honored us with #1 Product of the Day for TypingDNA Authenticator, a free authenticator that worked inside the Chrome browser and used typing patterns to secure OTPs. 🤓 DEVS! ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES In the near future, we plan to allow developers to use the moods in their favorite apps. With a simple Observer pattern approach, macOS apps will be able to listen to mood changes and trigger custom actions in real-time. And that’s just the beginning! Share your feedback in the comments below; your support will make a huge difference in what the future holds. 👉 OUR PLAN FOR THE DAY We’re going to be active on Product Hunt all day long! So if you have any questions, or want to leave feedback, we’re here for you.

@raulpopa congrats on the launch & well done to the team! 👏

@raulpopa Can TypingDNA be used for HIPAA-compliance?
Raul Popa
Sensitive data never leaves user's PC. There is no risk of sharing patient sensitive data because of it. So I think it's fair to say technically it is HIPAA compliant.
Joseph Abraham
@raulpopa This is very interesting Raul 😎 I've downloaded the app, going to try it today 🌟 Congrats on the launch 🚀
Alex Burciu
It would be cool to feed mood data into smart-shuffling songs for a dynamic playlist :D
CristianT
@alex_burciu1 Right! It's on our to-do list.
Ionut Anisia
This looks very interesting! Great idea! Congratulations on the launch and I wish you all the best!
CristianT
Thank you!
Aditya
Hey PH fam ✍ Writing is a reflection of our mood, and TypingDNA Focus team (@stefanendres, @tamascristian, @raulpopa, @avictorpop) is here to make help us analyze, get insights, and optimize our writing skills. Give it a try and let us know what you learnt about your writing habit?
CristianT
Thank you for hunting us!
Lucian Daniliuc
Wow! This looks neat! I'm really curious if I really am a morning person like I say I am :D Congratulations, team!
CristianT
@dlucian That's a great idea. I will monitor this as well in the app :)
Catalin Pit
Well done and good luck! 👏
CristianT
@catalinmpit Thank you Catalin, and thank you for your support all this time! Enjoy the app.
Alexandru Frentescu
Congrats guys , good luck to the top ! This is really cool stuff
Victor Sava
Very interesting app. I'm waiting for windows/mobile version :)
CristianT
@victor_sava24 A Windows version is in the works. Stay tuned! (You can join the waitlist and get notified via email when it's available - join here https://www.typingdna.com/focus)
CristianT
@victor_sava24 👀 You can now download the Windows version here https://typingdna.com/focus
Savian Boroanca
This is a great way of using typing biometrics to improve well-being and productivity. I’ll definitely give it a try. To the top! 🚀
Artem Shevchenko
Looks interesting, congrats on launching it! Do you already think about integrations with ads engines? :)
Raul Popa
@artie_shevchenko no, the app is still experimental
Amiya Behera
Good at predicting mood.
Bilal Chaglani
Great product!! Would honestly love it more, if it were also on a iOS keyboard. :)
Raul Popa
@bilal_chaglani mobile is on the roadmap too, but most people work on computers not mobile devices, and the large audience want to see their mood while they work. Therefore, for example, adding Windows support may be more important on the roadmap.
Stefan Carlescu
This looks to be a very interesting product! I did play with it during the research phase and is awesome.
Raul Popa
@stefancarlescu Thank you for support, it's way improved now, you should download and let us know how you like it.
Andrei Kurtuy
Congratulations on the launch! 🚀
Morgan Titcher
This looks super promising! Keep up the great work!
Dominic Hosler
This sounds like a very interesting idea. Does it track the how of any keyboard input or the how of words & sentences? Because the vast majority of my typing is code. If you're looking at keypresses, I also use vim bindings, so lots of key presses are not actually related to putting letters into the computer. Will it still work? I will give it a go when it turns up on Windows.
Raul Popa
@dominic_hosler we don't have a lot of typing data of people writing code, therefore the results when you write code may be a little off, but we're working on it.
Daniel Solberg
This looks so cool and sounds super interesting. The number of invaluable use cases for something like this is pretty incredible. I can't wait to try it!
Lukas Kemkes
This looks awesome, I want to have it!!! 😍 Is it possible to export data? I'd absolutely love to combine it with an export from my WHOOP data to see what impact sleep has on productivity and mood.
Raul Popa
@lukas_kemkes at this time no, but you'll be able to do some of these things in the future. What is curious is that while hardware based technologies like WHOOP work best when you are highly active (running) or innactive (sleep), they fall short when you are doing your day to day job, at the computer. Definitely we see potential in combining data from multiple devices/sensors and for sure will see more of it in the future.
Chris Prescott
Looks interesting, would be more interested in knowing the mood of my Slack based colleagues though! "David is super pissed, steer clear!" etc
Raul Popa
@cpresc it's a good idea, but they have to be willing to share too.
Chris Prescott
@raulpopa perhaps there's a Prisoner's Dilemma viral opportunity here then? "let's improve together" etc
Raul Popa
Haha, indeed
