Focus Friend, by Hank Green

I’m so obsessed with this app. It helps me to study for university. The lovely details are warming my heart and I love to see, how much socks my bean knits. But in my living room I already miss the armchair that matches with the colour from my couch. I have the yellow couch. And I think this is a bug, because the name of the set is the same like the name of the yellow couch. It would be so nice if you can implement the right colour😍 Thank you for your effort! I almost buy premium! Best regards

Die Idee gefällt mir, auch wenn die Feinheiten der App noch nicht ganz ausgereift sind. Mir persönlich fehlen vor allem Tags, um die verschiedenen Fokus-Sessions zu kategorisieren. Darüber hinaus sind die Statistiken ausbaufähig. Außerdem wäre es super, wenn der Timer die überschrittene Zeit nach Ende eines Countdowns automatisch mit in die Session einrechnet. Im Gegensatz zur Konkurrenz fehlt mir das einfach und setzt die Funktionalität der App deutlich runter.

Hi, I really enjoy to work with my bean and decorate his room!! That being said, I wonder if you could consider adding an option where one could switch from the sunny space the house is floating in to a cloudy or even a dark one? I really like this dark rainy aesthetic, so I always choose fitting window designs for that. This is why I would like for the whole space to be like that so it would match the windows. I’d be grateful for this consideration as far as it’s possible and can’t wait for another room to be made if that’s in planning!

I love using focus friend to study for uni, it really brightens up long study sessions. I like that there's both a count up and count down option for open ended focus time. The new update has a calendar showing how much time you spent studying, the details however are only visible in the pro version. I'd 100% get it (as it's a great project to support and has a very reasonable price), but personally I wouldn't like my bean to knit 3x the socks as I would "finish" everything too quickly, so it would be awesome to have the ability to turn that advantage off. Overall it's a really great motivation tool!

Ich nutze Focus Friend inzwischen täglich und möchte die App beim Lernen nicht mehr missen. Besonders motivierend finde ich, dass man nicht ständig zum Handy greift – man möchte die kleine Bohne ja nicht beim Stricken stören! Allerdings habe ich bereits alle drei Räume vollständig eingerichtet und sammle jetzt nur noch Socken. Zwar funktioniert die App weiterhin super, aber die kleine Belohnung, die Wohnung weiter auszubauen, fehlt mir inzwischen etwas. Sind vielleicht neue Räume oder Erweiterungen geplant? Das würde die Langzeitmotivation noch einmal deutlich steigern.

I absolutely love this app. For me, investing in cute interiors is way more motivating than grooming flowers (flora never really worked for me). I love the deep focus mode that blocks all notifications until you open the app again. The developers frequently add new decorations and new rooms. Thank you so much for making this app, that works perfectly fine without paying for it!
