Block distracting websites & apps, organised your day around one goal that matters, and focus on what matters with Serene, the macOS app for laser-focus.
Hey Product Hunt!
We built Serene to enable remote workers to get their focus back and do their best work, free of digital distractions, in one click.
Combining over a dozen focus-enhancing techniques, Serene will:
π―Prompt you to plan your day around one clear goal that matters
β°Break your day into clearly defined intervals of focused work
π«Block access to distracting websites and apps during focus sessions
πTrack your productivity & common distractions
πΆEnhance your concentration with focus music
Weβd love to hear your feedback or feature suggestions we could include which would help you focus and do more of your best work! Feel free to leave a comment below :)
PS - In the next few months, we'll also be launching Serene for teams, allowing you to track team productivity & distractions, get visibility on whether your colleagues are in deep work, and more. We're currently looking for 10 small teams (5-15 people) to beta test this - let me know in the comments if you're interested!
@marcusataylor I think you accidentally packaged some extra stuff (e.g. node_modules) during the Electron build. The app is 500MB. Drop me a note if you need a hand sorting it out.
@mike_seekwell Thanks Mike, will give our dev team a heads up to look into how we can reduce it. I know a big chunk of the file size is the long music files we need for the focus music, but I think there's definitely some Electron pruning to be done! βοΈβοΈ
@marcusataylor I understand the beauty in the simplicity of "one clear goal that matters." However, providing no way for including additional daily goals severely limits and restricts usage of Serene for people who can buy in to the product and who are also following a "Daily Big 3" type of methodology, or even for people who simply want to use Serene but also want to include more than a single daily goal. I rarely have only one goal for the day. I usually have a minimum or three real, quantifiable, realistic goals for the day.
Thanks for the free year of PRO. I will certainly use it as is and provide additional feedback as I have it.
I hope you consider adding the ability to include additional goals per day, otherwise, I can't see this becoming a must-have, must-use app for me, as much as I love the concept.
Pros:
- Simple interface (no clutter)
- Works on desktop (disconnected from Chrome clutter ;))
Cons:
- Needs an easy like macbook-no-brainer onboarding process
