Focu

Transform your relationship with work through AI-powered guidance, meaningful conversations and periodic check-ins. Focu uses a locally running AI that works privately and offline on your own Mac, data never gets sent to the cloud and stays yours.

Focu is a mindful productivity app for macOS designed to enhance your workday with AI-powered guidance while prioritizing privacy. It runs entirely offline on your Mac, leveraging local AI for tasks like journaling, check-ins, and task extraction—ensuring your data never leaves your device. Features include a focus page with a Pomodoro timer, automatic task extraction from conversations, and customizable AI options (local or cloud-based via your API key).

The app supports dark and light modes, offers keyboard shortcuts, and provides automatic backups to locations like iCloud. Ideal for those seeking focus, timely reminders, or daily journaling, Focu helps users stay on track without distractions. It’s open-source, with a free 3-day trial and a one-time purchase option for lifetime access. Privacy-centric and versatile, Focu redefines productivity by balancing efficiency with mindfulness.
