What it does

Focast is a minimal natural sound focus timer for macOS. Focast works entirely offline, requires no account, and is built natively for the Mac. You can mix real recorded nature sounds, start a timer, and let your focus accumulate over days through a calm visual history. Focast is designed to feel less like a tool you constantly interact with, and more like a space you enter. For people who write, study, code, read, or think, sometimes the most useful software is the one that does the least.

Focast for Mac helps you stay present with minimal timers and immersive natural sounds — a calm workspace for deep focus.

Over 90 real-world recordings, captured worldwide and crafted into seamless loops that feel alive, keeping you in deep focus.

    I’m the solo developer of Focusmo, a macOS focus app. I just shipped v7.12, which adds a local MCP server for Claude. The goal is simple: instead of generic productivity advice, Claude can connect to real focus data and help with weekly reviews, planning, and pattern spotting. Right now Claude can access: - today’s stats - weekly trends - task list - app usage with an hourly heatmap - personal records - live session state It can also create tasks and mark tasks complete. Everything runs locally on Mac through MCP, so the data stays on-device. I wrote more about it here:…

    Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
