Focusbar Overview
What is Focusbar? Focusbar is a productivity tool that helps users stay focused on one task at a time. Users can start an activity by typing in their task and pressing enter. Focusbar will periodically remind users to stay on task and will appear whenever the user switches to another window. The app also offers integration with iDoneThis.com, allowing users to submit their completed tasks to their iDoneThis.com calendar. The app claims to be effective in increasing productivity by helping users avoid distractions and multitasking.
1. Bring your tasks to a focus with Focusbar - simple but powerful tool to help you work on one thing at a time.
2. Every time you switch to another window, Focusbar will show up – in case you want to check your Facebook account or spend two hours on Tumblr.
3. Focusbar will show up on your screen from time to time, reminding you that it’s time to work on what you’ve planned.
4. The effects of using such a simple tool are really surprising - when you focus on just one item, you accomplish it much faster than you would have if you’d allowed yourself to be distracted or tried to multi-task.
5. NEW – we've added iDoneThis.com support to Focusbar.
6. If you have a iDoneThis.com account, you can now submit your tasks to iDoneThis.com calendar at the end of your working day.
7. It’s like a little pat on your shoulder which says – you silly, silly procrastinator, I know what you’re doing.
8. Just press ‘start activity’, type your task and press enter.
9. It’s really amazing how fast you can get something done if you focus.
10. With Focusbar, of course.
11. Stop multitasking and stay focused.

Great, but….
I love this app, but I wish that it popped up every time I switch to another tab in my browser- Because when I switch from Word to Chrome, I might still be doing research, but then when I click the tab to open Facebook, I’m definitely not, and THAT’S when I need this app the most. Would be helpful.
Need to locate alert
This would be PERFECT for me except for one problem. You are only given 4 choices of where the focus window pops up -- up, down, left, right. But that is on the fringes of the screen -- out of the way, unnoticed. Since the alert disappears in seconds, for me I need it right smack in the middle of the screen where I can see it. Otherwise, you don't even notice it's appearance. Please release an update that allows the user to put the focus warning where it can be seen, or where it is tougher to ignore. A simple user settings adjustment should suffice.
Ever think, "Where was I again?"
I do all the time, it comes with the territory of my job. I often have to juggle a million little things at once, of varying priorities, so that I'm always interrupting one task to attend to another. With the iDoneThis Focus Bar app, I have a constant reminder of what task I should be focusing on. Love it. It's a completely unintrusive reminder but it changes the tenor of your work day because you set yourself a singular, big picture goal.
Effecitvely obnoxious. Just what I needed.
As someone with a lot going on bouncing from task to task and not getting many of them done, Focusbar is a nice way to keep on track with the one most important thing. I’m quite glad to have found this app, even if it is the most annoying thing ever!
