Notetracks is the fastest way to collect feedback on audio and video - with comments pinned to the exact moment, so nothing gets lost in translation. No more "around the 2-minute mark." No more long email threads. Just play, click, and leave a note exactly where it matters. TIMECODED COMMENTS Every comment is pinned to a specific timestamp so your collaborators always know exactly what you're talking about, and you spend less time hunting for the moment they meant. SHARE WITH ANYONE Generate a public link and send it to clients or collaborators with no account required. They leave feedback directly on your track, so you get cleaner notes from people who'd never bother signing up for another tool. FLEXIBLE PERMISSIONS Set links to view-only, comment, or full edit so a client can't accidentally move things around, but a co-producer can. AI TRANSCRIPTION Get an AI-generated transcript of any track with multi-speaker support so you can search, scan, and reference what was said without scrubbing through the whole recording. FOLDERS & ORGANIZATION Group projects into folders and sort by name or date so when you're juggling five clients at once, you can find anything in two taps. --- Free trial included. Subscription required for full access. Monthly and yearly plans available. Terms of Use: https://notetracks.com/terms

Your focus timer is now an RPG. Start a session and your pixel-art hero sets off on a quest that lasts exactly as long as you stay focused — every minute of real concentration moves them forward. FocusQuest turns the hardest part of deep work — actually starting — into the best part of your day. No guilt-trip charts. No streak-shaming. Just a quest board, a hero, and a world that grows a little every time you focus. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a quest from the daily board and set your timer. 2. Focus. Your hero adventures through scrolling pixel-art worlds while you work. 3. Finish and collect XP, gold, gear, and a longer streak. WHY YOU'LL ACTUALLY OPEN IT • A focus timer you look forward to — Pomodoro sessions reimagined as quests • Real progression — earn XP, gold, and armor every single session • Level up a character that mirrors your focus habit, with no level cap • Build daily streaks and see your whole focus history at a glance • Five hand-crafted pixel-art worlds to journey through • Calming soundscapes to drop into deep work fast • Group quests — focus side by side with friends in real time • Works fully offline — your focus shouldn't depend on a signal BUILT TO HELP YOU FOCUS, NOT DISTRACT YOU During a quest the world goes quiet: slow scrolling, nothing to tap, no noise. The game gets out of the way so you can do the work — then celebrates you the moment you're done. NO PUNISHMENT, EVER Miss a day? Abandon a session? You never lose XP, gold, or gear you've already earned. FocusQuest only rewards you for showing up. MADE FOR Studying, deep work, writing, coding, reading, side projects, beating procrastination — and anyone who's bounced off plain productivity timers.
