About

I can’t seem to stay focused. I know what I need to do, but my mind keeps wandering. FocusQuest is an app designed to change that. Your timer-based work sessions become “battles.” Your concentration builds up as you play the game. However, this app isn’t about “staying focused while playing a game.” It gamifies concentration itself. We’ve eliminated unnecessary frills and designed it to keep you coming back. It’s not a “game character” that levels up—it’s you. And the rewards aren’t for a character; they’re for you in real life. Reward yourself for your efforts. That accumulation becomes a habit. Your concentration time is visualized in a graph, so you can see your daily progress. Whether it’s studying or work. From “I have to” to “I want to.” Your concentration becomes a story.
