FocusBill — Where Focus Meets Reward FocusBill is a productivity app that combines focus with self-reward. Earn coins through focused work, then spend them in your personalized "Life Store." Every session generates a Focus Bill, recording your focus time and reward spending — so every bit of effort comes with visible growth and payoff. 1. Projects → Tasks → Focus — Every Session Has a Purpose Break down long-term goals into projects and tasks, then dive into immersive focus sessions. No session starts at random — each one moves you toward what you actually want. Effort has a path, and growth has direction. 2. Life Store — Rewards, Defined by You In the Life Store, you decide what counts as a reward and what it costs. A cup of coffee, a nice meal, a shopping spree, or even a lazy morning in — rewards are tied to real life, and the choice of what makes you happy is always yours. 3. Focus Bill — Every Effort and Reward, Recorded The app automatically generates a personal Focus Bill, clearly tracking every focus session and every reward redeemed. Growth is no longer abstract — what you've built up and what you've spent are both visible, so you always know where your time and energy went. 4.
