Engross: ADHD Focus Timer

Master Your Focus: Built for Brains that Wander

Do you struggle with executive dysfunction, time blindness, or the constant “procrastination loop”? Engross isn’t just another productivity app—it’s a dedicated workspace designed to help you work with your brain, not against it.

By combining a Pomodoro-inspired Focus Timer with a Progressive To-Do List and App Blocker, Engross provides the external structure needed to initiate tasks, sustain attention, and finally finish what you start.

🧠 Why Engross is Different for ADHD: Most apps assume you’re already organized. Engross assumes you’re overwhelmed. Our unique ‘Hit me when you are distracted’ button is a science-backed mindfulness tool. It doesn’t just track time; it helps you build the “focus muscle” by gently pulling your brain back to the present moment without the guilt.

⏱️ Core Features for Deep Work:
Combat Time Blindness
• Flexible Pomodoro Timer: Customize work and break intervals to fit your energy cycles (up to 180-minute sessions).
• Visual Time Tracking: Use the Stopwatch or Timer to make time “tactile,” helping you transition between tasks without the usual panic.
• Integrated Sessions: Start a timer directly from your To-Do list. No friction, no app-switching, just focus.
• Session Tagging: Tag sessions with labels and keep track of where your time goes.

End Task Paralysis
• Progressive To-Do List: Don’t just list tasks—track them with a progress tracker. Break big, scary projects into small, “dopamine-friendly” sub-tasks.
• Flexible Recurring Tasks: Set reminders for “alternate days” or “twice a week” to fit your actual routine, not a rigid 9-to-5.
• Smart Reminders: Get notified up to 24 hours in advance to prep your brain for upcoming transitions.

Silence the Digital Noise
• App Whitelist: Automatically block distracting apps (Social Media, Games) the moment your timer starts.
• Focus White Noise: Built-in ambient sounds to help you enter a “Flow State” instantly and drown out environmental distractions.

📅 A Planner That Actually Works
• Zero-Overwhelm Calendar: Plan your day from morning coffee to deep work blocks in a neat, simple interface.
• Routine Builder: Create recurring events to automate your habits and reduce the cognitive load of “deciding” what to do next.

📊 Visual Progress & Insights
• Dopamine-Friendly Analytics: See your focus trends and peak performance times through 7 detailed charts.
• Session History: Understand exactly where your time goes and celebrate the “Deep Work” hours you’ve reclaimed.

Perfect for:
• Students: Crush assignments and study for exams without the last-minute panic.
• Remote Workers & Freelancers: Create structure in a flexible world and track client hours with ease.
• The Neurodivergent Community: A low-clutter, high-support tool for ADHD and executive function challenges.
