What it does

Drowning in distractions? Meet Buoy, a MacOS productivity app that induces flow state. Pick focus apps, set a timer, and go. Buoy tracks currently open apps and reminds you whenever you lose focus.

buoy helps you focus on macOS

Pick apps you want to focus on. All other apps are off-limits. Buoy alerts you as soon as you leave one of your focus apps. You have 10 seconds to hop back in. Right now, Buoy helps you focus on MacOS. We want to extend this functionality to incorporate other sources of distraction. That‘s why we‘re building an iOS companion app that locks down your phone, and a browser extension that keeps track of currently focused websites. Buoy is working great, but we‘re thinking some QOL changes like keyboard shortcuts , customization , and deeper insights would make it evenfrom buoy-productivity.com
