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?”
