For remote workers
Focus tracking for Remote Workers on Mac
Remote work removes the ambient accountability of an office. Focus Meter gives you a personal version of it without the surveillance: a local-only record of how your workday actually went.
What productive looks like
- Core work app frontmost (editor, Figma, docs, CRM, etc.)
- Meetings in Zoom / Teams / Meet
- Focused writing in Notion / Docs
Common distraction patterns
- Extended household / errand blocks during the workday
- Slack-check loops that fragment the morning
- YouTube / streaming windows that sneak in around lunch
How Focus Meter helps
Focus Meter is explicitly not a surveillance tool. It runs only on your Mac, stores nothing in the cloud, and has no admin portal. It’s for you — not your employer — to answer the question “am I actually putting in the hours I think I am?”
Sample Focus Meter breakdown
| App / Site | How to think about it |
|---|---|
| Core work apps | Whatever you actually ship in — productive. |
| Zoom / Teams | Meetings — neutral. |
| Slack | Neutral; watch the total. |
| YouTube / social | Distracting. |
