I’m Qasim, founder of CogniElevate and maker of CogniFocus. This is my first product, bootstrapped and built from a problem I kept running into myself. I’d start a focus timer, then still end up switching apps mid-session without even noticing. The timer kept running, but my focus was already gone. The bigger pain was not just distraction.It was the time wasted after it. One “quick check” turns into 10 minutes, then 20, then the whole session feels lost. So, I built CogniFocus to help protect focus time, not just track it. It combines: a focus timer Distraction Shield app blocking streaks and XP recovery nudges a Goblin companion that reacts when you start, drift, or finish Sometimes it roasts you. Sometimes it praises you. Less like a timer. More like someone saying: bro, stay here. Would love feedback from the PH community: Does the companion angle make focus feel more motivating or would it get annoying over time?
