About
Focu is a mindful productivity app for Mac that uses AI-guided journaling, smart check-ins, and thoughtful reflections to help create a more balanced and productive workday. Its focus page includes a task list and a pomodoro timer, and the timer lives in your menu bar. You can enter tasks yourself or have AI extract them from your conversations. Keyboard shortcuts are also available to help you avoid distractions.
Focu runs completely locally and is open source. It works out of the box with local AI, and you can optionally use cloud AI via OpenAI or OpenRouter with your own API key. Your data stays on your machine, including the AI processing. You can configure automatic backups to a location of your choice, such as iCloud, with import and export options. The app also offers automatic dark or light mode, or you can choose a mode yourself.
Focu does not require you to stay online or pay for a subscription. It is free and open source, and it is available to download for Mac.
