Lucent
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lucent uses neuroscience-backed visual focus training to prepare your brain for deep, distraction-free work in just 60 seconds. HOW IT WORKS Stare at a glowing horizontal line. Watch mesmerizing flares rise and fall. Let your gaze naturally focus. In 60 seconds, your brain's attention circuits activate and you're ready for hours of focused work. THE SCIENCE Based on research from Stanford's Huberman Lab, visual focus on a single point for 30-60 seconds triggers neurochemical changes that enhance concentration, increase goal-directed behavior, and reduce perceived effort during cognitive tasks. Key research: Visual focus increases task performance by 23% and reduces effort by 17% (NYU Study, Psychological Science 2019). WHY IT WORKS Your visual system is the gateway to your attention. By training your eyes to focus on a single point, you activate the neural circuits responsible for sustained concentration. This isn't meditation—it's neurochemical priming. WHAT YOU GET • 60-second visual focus sessions • No ads, no subscriptions • Science-backed methodology

RemindFocus is built for brains that struggle to focus, forget everything, and fall into endless scrolling. Three separate tools, intentionally kept apart, to match how ADHD actually works. FOCUS TIMER Start a timed focus session from 1 minute up to 75 minutes, or up to 4 hours with Pro. Pair it with brown noise, pink noise, or white noise to block distractions and enter deep work mode. A fullscreen screen-on mode keeps your timer visible without unlocking your phone. When the session ends, a gentle sound brings you back. DISTRACTION PARKING (LINK SAVER) You're in a focus session and a random thought sends you down a rabbit hole. Instead of following it, park it. Save any link with one tap via the share sheet. RemindFocus stores it silently with a thumbnail and category: no notifications, no pressure, no autoplay. It does not play videos at you. It holds the link so you can come back when your work is done. Up to 30 links without Pro, unlimited with Pro. REMINDERS & MEMOS RemindFocus sends you scheduled reminders that actually interrupt you, because ADHD brains need that. Set a memo to fire at a specific time: "Take the laundry out," "Take your meds," "Leave now." Reminders are always unlimited and never locked behind Pro. PROGRESS & STREAKS The Progress tab shows your focus streak, total hours, an hourly heatmap of when you concentrate best, and your session history. Watch your consistency grow day by day. The full history and heatmap are available with Pro. HOW IT WORKS - Flexible sessions, not fixed to 25 minutes. - Designed around ADHD patterns: time blindness, hyperfocus, task switching, forgetting. - The link saver is passive and silent; reminders are active and scheduled. They stay separate, not merged into one inbox. - Links are stored as references with a thumbnail. No embedded video players. - Your data stays on your device. REMINDFOCUS PRO - Full data backup and restore (most requested feature) - Complete focus history and heatmap - Unlimited saved links (beyond 30) - Extended timer up to 4 hours - Full ambient audio library: extra soundscapes and tick sounds Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Restore purchases anytime across devices. PERFECT FOR - People with ADHD or attention difficulties - Students using focus timers for studying - Remote workers fighting digital distraction - Anyone who forgets tasks the moment they walk into another room - Brown noise and ambient sound fans who want focus built in RemindFocus does not diagnose or treat ADHD. It is a productivity tool designed with neurodivergent users in mind. ______ Terms of Use: https://remindfocus.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://remindfocus.com/privacy
