The office you actually want to show up to. Working alone is hard. No colleagues, no one noticing whether you showed up, no reason to push a little harder. FocusOffice gives you all of that back. Clock in, work alongside friends, bet a coffee on who focuses more, and get paid in Beans to build your own space. CLOCK IN Every day starts at the punch clock. Set a Pomodoro, a custom timer or a stopwatch, pick your focus mode and get to work. ⢠Strict ā one life. Leave the app and the session is over. ⢠Balanced ā three lives. ⢠Flexible ā leave whenever you need to, without a penalty and without Beans. YOUR COWORKERS Add friends and see who's putting in the hours. Start a group session with up to 8 people and sit at the same table. Step out of the app and everyone sees your empty chair. In Strict mode the team shares three lives, so if one person slacks off, everyone pays. OFFICE BETS Every office has them. Challenge a friend: ⢠Time Goal ā focus a set number of hours within a few days ⢠Battle ā first to reach the target wins ⢠Streak ā hit your hours every day without breaking the chain ⢠Ranking ā most hours wins Then set the stakes: loser buys coffee, loser buys lunch, Beans, or a deal you write yourself. Reminders tell you exactly where you stand before the deadline. COMPANY-WIDE COMPETITIONS Global challenges are open to everyone. Climb the public leaderboard, hit the goal and win your share of the Bean pot. PAYDAY Every session pays you in Beans. Spend them on furniture, characters and backgrounds and turn an empty room into a space that feels like yours. BUILD A CAREER Earn career badges for points earned and days you showed up. Track your focus time and streak by day, week and all time. THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE Work to Office Day, Rainy Day, Calm River, Morning Forest or Cozy Fire, or play your own Apple Music during sessions. BRING YOUR TEAM Invite friends and you'll both get Beans after their first session. PERFECT FOR Studying, homework, exam preparation, deep work, office work, home office and everyday productivity.
