User reviews

I was looking for this!!!

I am a multitasker, I am a mom of three and a cat, an executive assistant and a friend and a sister, all in one. Time disappears every day. I get interrupted all the time, Polaris is my helper, is my support - expense report? Done. Need to focus on a task - small or big? I am no longer interested in looking at the clock. I can breathe because I am calm while focused on something. I turn on the sound - it’s like white noise, you are in space and you are breathing. Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in freedom from your own anxiety and pressure.

Response from developer

This means a lot to read. We wanted Polaris to feel calmer and quieter than traditional focus tools, especially during overwhelming days. Thank you for sharing your experience.

The first focus tool that actually lets me breathe.

I’ve tried many focus apps, but all of them share one flow and make me stare at a ticking clock. This is the first app that actually lets me complete forgot about the time.

Response from developer

“Forget about the time” is one of the most meaningful things someone can say about Polaris. Thank you for being here early.
