Focusability

Increase your productivity and improve your focus by reducing your daydreams

My name is Emarceen Yusef and I have Maladaptive Daydreaming. I developed the Focusability app to help me stop daydreaming and stay focused while studying, reading, and working. It helped me a lot by saving me hours of wasted time on daydreaming every day. I thought if this app helps me, it’s probably going to help others too; so I improved it, added more features, and uploaded it to the play store for you to check it out!

How Focusability works:

This app has a new approach to help you focus. In order to understand how it works and how it can help you reduce daydreaming, please watch this short video on YouTube link: https://youtu.be/-FnVrn-G-HY

Let’s say you are trying to read a book. If you read out loud and after a while you start daydreaming, in most cases you will stop reading out loud and start daydreaming in silence. Focusability uses this pattern to detect that you lost focus, and it alerts you to go back to your task. So all you have to do is turn the alarm on, set an appropriate sound strength and do your task out loud. It does not matter if you are studying, reading, or working; just as long as it is a task that requires mental focus and concentration.

Other features are included too to help you monitor your concentration and productivity.

Focusability has also increased the productivity of many people with ADHD and ADD, so make sure to share it with the ADHD community.

That being said, Focusability does not cure Maladaptive Daydreaming. It only helps reduce daydreaming while the user is trying to accomplish tasks that require focus and mental concentration.
