Export and Sharing
Focus Meter gives you two ways to take your data outside the app: structured exports for analysis, and a visual Focus Card for sharing.
Export Data
Open Settings > Data > Export Data to export your tracking history.
Options:
- Date range — pick a start and end date for the export
- Format — CSV (for spreadsheets) or JSON (for scripting or analysis tools)
- Entry count — shown before you export so you know how much data you're saving
Click Export and choose where to save the file.
Good times to export:
- Before changing categories — if you're about to re-categorize a bunch of apps or sites, export first so you have a snapshot of the old categorization
- Weekly or monthly archival — if you want a local backup of your data outside the app
- Personal experiments — pull your data into a spreadsheet to look for patterns Focus Meter's built-in reports don't cover (e.g. correlating focus scores with calendar events)
Share Focus Card
Open Settings > Data > Share Focus Card to generate a visual summary of your week.
The card includes:
- Your Focus Score
- The week's date range
- Best focus day
- Current streak
- Top app
Actions:
- Copy to Clipboard — paste it into Slack, an email, a note, or anywhere that accepts images
- Save as PNG — save it as a file to share or keep
Ideas for using the Focus Card:
- Share it in a team standup or weekly retro as a conversation starter
- Post it to a personal log or journal for weekly accountability
- Compare cards week over week to see visual progress
