Coral Focus

Grow a coral reef while you focus

What it does

Coral Focus turns focus sessions into a growing coral reef. Focus and your coral grows. Get distracted and it bleaches, just like real reefs under stress. Unlike timers that use trees or generic rewards, it's built around real coral species (Staghorn, Sea Fan, Brain Coral) unlocked as you focus. Plus site blocking, ocean sounds, and weekly/yearly reef gardens. A solo project inspired by real reef restoration, with the goal of one day supporting it.

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
