FocusShelf

FocusShelf is a simple focus timer that actually checks if you are in front of the screen. Start a session, keep your face in view, and FocusShelf shows a clear red/green indicator so you always know whether you are truly focused or not.

When your face is detected, the dot stays green and your focus minutes keep increasing. When you leave, look away, or your face disappears, the dot turns red and your focus stops. No more pretending to study while scrolling on your phone in the background.
