Fitraat Focus

Guides

How to use the app

Four short guides, in the same language as the app: plan the day, take a purpose system, run a session, then read your stats.

Todo

How to use Todo

Plan today’s work in Todo Planner. Add tasks, set priority, check them off here or inside a focus session.

Read guide

Programs

How to use purpose systems

A purpose system has an outcome, sections, and tasks. In the app it shows up as a Program. Put a task on today, then run it in Todo and Focus.

Focus

How to use the focus system

One loop: Prepare, Activate, Focus, Close, Reflect. Complete the five pillars, then sit down and work.

Read guide

Stats

How to read your stats

Stats is your history: sessions, scores, streak, and whether you are getting better — not a feed to scroll.

For your work

Why this session, for this job

A page for each kind of work: students, developers, writers, researchers, founders, designers, teachers, and freelancers.

Students

Fitraat Focus for students

Revision fails when the book is open and the phone is closer. A purpose system is the syllabus as finishable tasks. The session is how you sit with one of them.

Read why

Developers

Fitraat Focus for developers

The hard part is rarely the bug. It is the tab you opened ‘for a second.’ One session holds one piece of work until it is actually done.

Read why

Writers

Fitraat Focus for writers

A blank page is where you go check something else. A short activation and one intention make the first sentence cheaper than waiting to feel ready.

Read why

Researchers

Fitraat Focus for researchers

A paper does not move because you ‘worked on it’ all afternoon. It moves when one phase has a target, effort, and a record of what changed.

Read why

Founders

Fitraat Focus for founders

The inbox will take the day if you let it. The work that moves the company needs a protected block with a finish line, not leftover minutes.

Read why

Designers

Fitraat Focus for designers

Pixels and feedback are different jobs. A session holds one of them so the file actually changes.

Read why

Teachers

Fitraat Focus for teachers

Marking and messages eat the hour you meant for the lesson. A session is that lesson, prepared, with a start you do not renegotiate.

Read why

Freelancers

Fitraat Focus for freelancers

Client work and your own work fight for the same afternoon. A session is a named block so the louder message does not spend the hour.

Why the loop is built this way

Short science notes

Notes on work the session draws on. Each one names its source. These notes are not a clinical trial of the app.

Flow: why a clear session feels better

Flow is deep absorption when the task is clear, feedback is quick, and the challenge matches your skill.

Gloria Mark

Why switching costs more than you think

Gloria Mark’s studies of interrupted work found that getting back takes time, and that frequent interruption is associated with higher stress.

K. Anders Ericsson

Practice only counts if you can see it

Ericsson’s research: skill grows from structured, effortful practice with feedback — not from hours that feel busy.

Read note

Peter Gollwitzer

Decide before you start, not during

If-then plans close the gap between ‘I will focus’ and actually starting. You pre-decide the cue and the action.

Read note

Angela Duckworth

Consistency is the product, not a perfect day

Grit here means showing up again after an ordinary session — not never missing a day forever.

Read note

BJ Fogg

Make the start small enough to repeat

Habits stick when the action is easy, the prompt is obvious, and you do not wait for high motivation.

Read note

Cal Newport

Treat deep work like an appointment

Deep work is distraction-free concentration on something that matters. You schedule it. You do not squeeze it into leftover minutes.
