Brain Dump Everything. Focus on One.
The ADHD-friendly task manager that helps you capture everything but only focus on what matters right now
Stop task-switching. Capture tasks from anywhere on your Mac with a keyboard shortcut, then start a focus session on just one task. Built for ADHD brains that need to get everything out but struggle to commit to a single thing.
It's simple and extremely effective in keeping me on track and not getting distracted by 20 different tasks. And as a bonus, the creator is very responsive and actively working on improving the app.
Smart Capture
Capture Tasks From Anywhere, Instantly
Got a task idea while reading an email? Working in your browser? Writing code? Press ⌘⌃A and turn any text into a task without leaving your current app.Focusmo's smart text parser automatically extracts time estimates like "30m" or "2h", workspace tags like "@coding" or "@writing", and cleans up the task text so you don't have to think.No more context switching to a separate task manager. No more losing that brilliant idea because you had to open another app. Just select, shortcut, done.
Zero Friction
From Task List to Focus Session in One Click
The hardest part isn't capturing tasks. It's actually starting them. ADHD brains freeze when staring at a long task list. Which one? When? How long?Focusmo solves this: click any task and immediately start a focus session. The task name becomes your session goal. The time estimate becomes your timer. Your chosen workspace automatically blocks distractions.No decision fatigue. No planning paralysis. Just one click from "I should do this" to "I am doing this."
Simple System
Active, Backlog, Done - Keep It Simple
Complex task management systems fail for ADHD brains. Three states. That's it.Active: The 3-5 tasks you're committing to today. Drag to reorder. Set task limits to avoid overwhelm. Backlog: Everything else. Brain dumped and waiting.Completed: Your dopamine reward center.Optional daily task reset moves uncompleted Active tasks back to Backlog each morning, giving you a fresh start without the guilt of an endless "today" list.
Integrations
Use Your Favorite Task App, Add Focus

Focusmo doesn't replace your task manager - it adds the missing piece: actually focusing on tasks.Pull tasks from your existing apps, focus on them with Focusmo's timer and blocking, then mark them complete. Best of both worlds: your trusted task system plus accountability to actually do the work.
