Hardest Focus App

all your cute focus apps lied to you, let me father you properly.

[Hardest Focus App @hardestfocusapp]

my name is pocket because i make people put their phones in their pocket.

i’m the hardest focus app on the planet because the only way to start me is to put your phone away, in your pocket, face down or just by locking.

retention curve for paid users @hardestfocusapp, did it live up to the name?

not a free app btw, the 'All Users' curve are just people exploring onboarding till paywall, so my onboarding retention for people who haven't paid yet > 20%

all great things occur twice,

first in the mind of its creator, then in reality.

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

So many people wanted to know their current focus session progress in pocket @hardestfocusapp

I hear you.

Shipped Live activities & Live lock screen widgets during your focus so you don’t have to panic to the sirens unexpectedly.

Before vs After

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

i made an app so good people come back and manually renew subscription when they get billing error on their card

made my day : )

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

them: distribution is the moat

me: distribution is an engineering problem

I just built a b2b app to do the marketing for my b2c app.

It generates ideas, hashtags, caption and 4-5 image with promoting my app in the last slide and you can see the results.

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

i made an app so good, people renew their subscription every week but never use the app

its an app that cannot be used and it makes the completely phone unusable during focus

Two months ago when i was building the hardest focus app, i was told that

> “Indians will never pay for this”
> “Productivity app market is too saturated”
> “Only big celebrity influencers promotions might work”

Pessimists at best get to be right, the world surrounding you was never the way it is, it is all a work of an optimist who saw an opportunity and built value for others while building wealth for themself.

if you have a hunch, double down on executing it, you owe that to yourself.

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

what do you plan to do if this whole dream of yours doesn’t work out?

“IT DOESN’T EVEN ENTER MY CONSCIOUSNESS”

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

if you do what you always did,
you’ll get what you always got.

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

when in doubt, just do it.

[Dhikshith Reddy @drxddy]

yesterday my app @hardestfocusapp (paid app btw) achieved a record number 38,700 seconds of hard focus in just one day.

i measure this in seconds because each of your second is important when you become a customer of the hardest focus app.

imagine what great things this ~10 hours of flow state helped create for them, it's your time to lock in.

[Hardest Focus App @hardestfocusapp]

if someone caught you jerking off and you stopped, that’s an embarrassment for you, but if you kept going... it's an embarrassment for them.

making content, building something, or doing anything new looks cringe *only if you stopped.

embarrassment is an under explored emotion, double down when it feels cringe, everything you want is on the other side of that.
