I built a focus timer that gamifies your work and motivates you so you don't burn out.

Hey everyone,

I built workcalmly.com, a productivity app that gamifies your work so you can ship your project and not burn out.

You know it... you start your new project with a burst of motivation, but once this wears off, it's difficult to stay consistent and make progress.

You have limited time and energy, feel overwhelmed, and don't see progress. Before you notice, you enter a downward spiral and your side project might never see the light of day.

WorkCalmly addresses these challenges. With WorkCalmly, you can:

  • Reduce overwhelm with a calm environment for focused work and beautiful design
  • Make meaningful progress even with limited time and energy (through a focus timer, focus music, and a coach that's not annoying)
  • Stay motivated and consistent with streaks and levels
  • See progress and your efforts through stats and analytics
  • Feel more accomplished as you can see what you put in every day (even if you did "under the hood" work)

It's in beta and free to use at workcalmly.com (web only).

I'd love your feedback to learn what could be improved too :)

Happy new years and greetings from Germany,

Jonas

    If you adjust your blog posts and reddit using these analysis, your posts will be closer to getting your potential leads.

    Going deep on the subject here are top things that your customer are interested about the subject :

    Looks crazy! Who are your competitors? Maybe would be better for users to understand better your added value.

      Hey Leandro, there are quite a few out there. I think you could consider every focus timer a competitor. But love that idea to show how WorkCalmly is different more concretely. Thanks!

    The website looks amazing. What tools you used to design the website?

      Thank you so much! I just used Figma and Next.js to build it. But I worked as a product designer for a couple years :)
