FocusFriction

FocusFriction is a mobile + web AI app that helps you schedule work based on your actual energy patterns instead of generic time-blocking. It learns from lightweight check-ins (30 seconds, 3x/day) and passive signals you already generate (calendar load, sleep from Apple Health/Google Fit, and keyboard/mouse activity on desktop optional). You tag tasks by cognitive load (deep, medium, shallow) and the app recommends when to do them, plus what to avoid during low-energy windows. It also adds “friction controls”: one-tap focus modes that temporarily block your top distraction apps/sites only during predicted low-control periods (e.g., post-lunch). The goal isn’t to make you a productivity superhero—it’s to reduce self-sabotage and wasted planning by aligning commitments with realistic capacity. Expect improvements in consistency, not miracles.
