FOCO is a mobile productivity app designed to help people with task initiation difficulties—especially those with ADHD—by turning overwhelming tasks into manageable tiny steps with a guided focus mode.
What is FOCO?
FOCO is a task-initiation app that addresses the inability to start tasks, a common symptom of ADHD known as task initiation deficit. You type in any task (e.g., "Prepare client presentation"), and FOCO instantly breaks it into 5 tiny steps with realistic time estimates. The app provides a calm focus mode that guides you one step at a time, tracks streaks and focus minutes, and each morning picks the highest-impact task to reduce decision fatigue. FOCO is available as a mobile app on iOS and Android.
