What a good boss does — that nobody does for you
When you work for yourself, you're the boss. But who's keeping you accountable?
effingFocus fills that gap. Every single day.
"Here's what you need to focus on today."
Focus Now surfaces which clients need attention — overdue tasks, pending payments, no activity. You always know where to start.
"You're falling behind — push now."
Day Momentum compares tasks done vs time elapsed in real time. You know if you're on track at 2pm, not at 9pm.
"Client B hasn't paid. Chase them."
The Money tab shows exactly who's collected and who's pending. Nothing slips through because you forgot to follow up.
"Here's what you actually earned per hour."
Your effective hourly rate is calculated automatically from real hours and real revenue. You always know what your time is actually worth.
The number most self-employed people never know
$84/hr
Your effective hourly rate — what you actually earn per hour worked — calculated automatically from your real tracked hours and real collected revenue. Most people who work for themselves have never seen this number. effingFocus shows it to you in real time.

Built for
Without a boss, this is your reality
Nobody's keeping you accountable. And you feel it.
It's not that you're lazy. It's that without structure, visibility, and accountability — even the most driven person loses control.
You finish work but can't switch off.
Your brain keeps running through tomorrow's tasks, who you need to chase, what might have slipped. You're always half-working even when you're done.
You worked all day. For who, exactly?
Hours disappear between clients and context switches. You undercharge because you genuinely can't remember what you spent time on or for which client.
Whoever shouts loudest wins your day.
Without something telling you what actually matters, you're reactive. The loudest client wins. The quiet $1,200 retainer client gets neglected for weeks.
Money you've earned sitting uncollected.
You sent the invoice. You think. Chasing feels awkward so you wait. Meanwhile thousands in pending payments exist only in your head.
What's inside
Everything a good boss would track. Built into one app.
Not a project management tool. Not a to-do list. A system built for running a client business completely on your own.
01
One folder per client
Every client has their own space. Tasks, tracked time, retainer, and payments all in one place. You always know exactly what's happening with each relationship.
02
Real time tracking
Tap Start Working. The timer runs. Stop it, switch clients, come back — time stays assigned to the right client automatically. No more guessing at the end of the day.
03
Day Momentum
Compares tasks done vs time elapsed in real time. At 2pm you'll know if you're ahead or behind — while you can still do something about it.
04
Unique feature
🔒 Lock In
Lock yourself onto one task for 5–30 minutes with a PIN. When you work alone every distraction is self-inflicted. This makes switching a conscious decision — not an impulse.
05
Focus Now
Automatically flags clients who've gone quiet — no activity, payment pending, tasks overdue. You see exactly who needs attention today without having to remember.
06
Income snapshot
Retainers collected, invoices pending, net profit this month. All in one tab. The money question finally has a clear answer — no spreadsheet needed.
The money tab
Know exactly where your money stands. Always.
Retainers collected. Invoices pending. Business expenses. Net profit. All in one tab — updated the moment you mark something paid. No spreadsheet. No guessing. No end of month surprises.
