About

HiFocos

Features
Read full description

Simple, nothing messy, let's return to the beginning, is real focus, focus on the matter of focus, not for the sake of other things. Focus is inherently anti-human nature, people aspire to make myself comfortable, focus will make themselves uncomfortable, it is impossible to make yourself become focused and self-disciplined through an application. Tools are just tools, it's mostly up to you. This app is mainly to record the journey you take to make yourself better, when one day you realize that you have become better, you can flip it out and see what you did to achieve that goal, you worked so hard, you didn't give up, thus making you who you are now. I wish everyone who uses this app, that by the time you delete this app, you have become what you want to be. Finally, let's be our own masters.
