You opened your laptop to do one thing.
What was it?
Sound familiar?
Meet Focana - the desktop focus buddy for busy brains.
Try it risk-free for 7 days. If it doesn't stick, we'll refund you — no questions asked.
Windows coming soon -
out of sight. out of mind.
We've all been there...working on a task, then one new tab, a Slack ping, a quick email reply - and just like that, you're in a ChatGPT rabbit hole thinking "what was I even doing"
For busy brains, if a task isn't visible, it doesn't exist.
Browser extensions disappear
Switch to Slack or your IDE and your focus tool vanishes. Gone. Along with your intention.
Mobile apps are on the wrong device
Your phone timer doesn't help when the distraction is happening on your computer screen.
Complex suites cause overload
47 features. 12 settings. 8 views. Your already-overwhelmed brain shuts down before you even start.
Key Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
It never disappears
Not a browser extension. Not a web app. It can't hide — because that's the whole point.
Your timer, your rules
Freeflow when you're in flow. Timeboxed when you need a hard stop.
When life interrupts
Before you close out, Focana asks where you want to pick up. Come back tomorrow — or next week — and continue exactly where you left off.
Your parking lot, delivered back to you
Random thought mid-session? Park it and stay focused. When your session ends, Focana shows your notes. Nothing gets lost.
A gentle nudge
"Still on track?" — a soft check-in before you're 30 minutes deep in something you didn't mean to open.
Stays out of your way
Full card when you need it. Compact pill when you don't. Floating icon when you want it there — but never gone. One click between any mode.
It only takes a few seconds to get started. No sign-up/account needed.
Type your task
One thing. That's the whole point. Write what you're working on right now.
Start the timer
Freeflow if you're in the zone. Timeboxed if you need a hard stop. No forced 25-minute rules.
It floats on top
Above Slack. Above Chrome. Above VS Code. Your task and your timer stay right there — the whole time.
You get the win
"You focused for 23 minutes." Not "session incomplete." Every minute counts.
Built for You
If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.
People say 'just focus' like that's not the thing you're trying to do every single day.
You've tried Notion, Todoist, Forest, a paper planner. Each one worked for exactly three days.
You can spend three hours going down a rabbit hole you never planned to enter. But give five minutes to the thing that actually matters? Impossible.
Every random thought feels like an emergency. You chase it, lose your place, and can't get back.
You got distracted. Again. Then got mad at yourself for getting distracted. Again. Now there are two problems and you still haven't finished.
Other people seem to just... sit down and work. For you, getting started is its own full-time job. And nobody sees that part.
Own it forever. $29.
Focana is in open beta — which means two things:
you get to help shape what gets built,
and you get the best price it will ever be.
Full access. No subscription. No renewals.
Every feature, now and everything we ship next.
When beta ends, Focana moves to $49 lifetime or $8/month.
This price goes away when that happens.
One-time payment. macOS. Instant download.
No subscription. Ever.
Why a lifetime deal during beta?
Most apps charge full price to test an unfinished product. We'd rather reward the people willing to bet on us early. You get the lowest price it will ever be. We get real users, real feedback, and the resources to build faster. Fair trade.
Frequently asked questions
Browser extensions live in your browser. Switch to Slack or your code editor and they're gone. Focana is a native Mac app — it uses OS-level permissions to float above every application on your screen. It can't disappear. That's the difference.
Because Focana does exactly one thing and does it in under 10 seconds. No account. No onboarding flow. No settings. Type your task, start the timer, and it's floating on your screen. The reason other apps don't stick is because they ask too much of you before you've gotten any value. Focana doesn't.
It means Focana uses a macOS system-level feature to stay above every other window on your screen. Open Chrome, Slack, VS Code, Zoom — Focana stays visible. You can't accidentally bury it.
Yes. The always-visible timer gives you a constant anchor for how long you've been working. Focus check-ins nudge you before you lose track of time completely. It's not a cure — it's a guardrail.
No. Focana was built from ADHD experience but the problem it solves happens to anyone who works across multiple apps. If you've ever switched tabs and forgotten why, it's for you.
macOS is live now. Windows is in development — drop your email and you'll be the first to know when it's ready.
$29 one-time. That's lifetime access — no subscription, no renewals. You also get a 7-day money-back guarantee: if it doesn't stick, we'll refund you, no questions asked. After beta, the price moves to $49 lifetime or $8/month. This is the lowest it will ever be.
Yes. When open beta ends, Focana moves to $49 lifetime or $8/month. The founding member price is only available during beta and goes away when that window closes.
Takes 10 seconds to start your first session.
$29 once. Yours forever. 7-day guarantee.
