HustleControl is for hustlers and people who are into growth; growth where it happens effectively. Our platform will provide you track yourself on a daily basis and analyze yourself the best way possible. Every heard of the saying which goes like "You are average of 5 people around you" ? Well, HustleControl provides you 6 people limited groups to find people alike you, team up with them and conquer your most ambitious goals. Social area of the app contains Talks, Groups and Posts. The Talk can be categorized as a Podcast, Panel, Discussion and so on. In this version live talks are not available so users when they create a talk they need to link their talk to a streaming service. Users can charge others for joining the talk and earn money from it in the second version. HustleControl also is very unique at tracking statistics, There is a planet called Character Planet. Character planet contains 6 smaller planets around itself; which are Goals, Habits, Daily Activities, Tasks, Discipline and Consistency planets. Besides containing traditional chart systems, If things go bad at a certain planet, it starts raining there first; if it's so bad in statistics then it starts lightning and raining heavily. In original version there was a feature to get in the character, a character who achieved every goal and dream of yours. This character is basically super version of you. So in the next version if things go good at planets, planets will turn into gold slowly. HustleControl doesn't track your growth or falling with amount of tasks you completed or not; we had to bring something unique and realistic! Levels are determined by "Grind Points" grind points are earned or lost by "Consistency Points" and "Discipline Points". Consistency and Discipline points are earned through your daily goals, as far as progression and efficiency goals. Those goals are put out beginning of everyday. At the end of the day, all of the things you have completed will be compared to things you have put out the beginning of the day. Creating Goals,Tasks and Habits is very easy and effective. When you create a goal, you are able to attach a task or habit to the goal, have a goal gallery; track and analyze progress and efficiency. In second version there will also be notes feature where you can note down things and record voice notes for yourself. All of us need a quick Reality Check sometimes, so what we did? We added Reality Check cards. When you let app know about a certain difficulty you have during the day, we directly navigate you to a page where you are asked questions to answer. Basically checking your reality and maybe even self criticism.

Hide distractions on websites such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, Gmail and take back control of your attention! While we acknowledge the distracting and engrossing nature of these sites, completely blocking them is not always feasible due to the valuable content they offer. This Safari extension allows you to selectively hide attention-grabbing components on each site. For instance, on YouTube, you have the option to conceal recommended videos, shorts, comments, and more. Similarly, on Facebook and Instagram, you can hide the feed, reels, stories, and other elements. The same goes for each supported site. Furthermore, SocialFocus offers an array of supplementary features, including Startup Settings, Import / Export and more. Users who want to support the development of the project can additionally subscribe to the PRO version. The PRO version will give access to some additional features that are not available in the standard version, such as hotkey configuration, settings synchronization and some others. NOTE: This extension does NOT work with the apps, it works only for websites while using the Safari browser. Terms Of Use: https://socialfocus.app/tos/
