Find out where your study and build hours actually go.
One normal week. Three tracked sessions. FocusMirror shows you your real attention pattern — your longest focus block, your most fragmented hour, and one thing to change each day. It only sees your on-screen work, and it's yours alone.

The free tier, framed as a challenge.
Run FocusMirror for one normal week. Three tracked sessions across seven days is all it takes to see your real pattern — where your focus actually goes, which hour quietly falls apart, and the one change worth making. No trial countdown, no card.
- Seven nightly reports — your real study-and-build pattern, one card at a time.
- Your longest uninterrupted focus block, and your most fragmented hour, named.
- One concrete adjustment a day — seven small experiments in a week.
Track → Reflect → Adjust → Improve.
People improve what they can see. Tracking your attention closes a loop: you see the day's real shape, reflect on it, adjust one thing, and the next day gets a little sharper. The change doesn't live in the dashboard — it lives in the one adjustment you make after it.[source] Tracking progress toward a goal is associated with reaching it more often.[source]
Track
FocusMirror records your on-screen work while you do it — app names and domains only, no timer to babysit.
Reflect
Each evening it hands back honest time blocks: your longest focus block, your most fragmented hour, what you shipped.
Adjust
Every report ends in exactly one change to try tomorrow. One, because twelve become noise.
Improve
Run the loop for a week. Visibility plus a single adjustment is how a study rhythm actually shifts.
Behavior data alone rarely moves outcomes without a concrete prompt to act — so every report ends in exactly one.[source]
This is what an evening looks like.
Category totals, your longest focus block, your most fragmented hour, what you shipped — and a single adjustment to try tomorrow. Your own audit is built from your own week.

For people competing on more than one front.
Practice, clubs, your side project, the lab — they already took the hours. So the study and build hours that are left are the ones that have to count. The audit tells you whether they did.
FocusMirror only sees your on-screen work — never your practice, your clubs, or your phone-off life. That's the point: it sharpens the hours you spend at the keyboard, and leaves the rest yours.
Seven days. Your own data. See whether your hours count.
