Focus is a to-do app that shows you one task at a time and uses AI to organize the rest. This page explains what it stores about you, why, and who helps run it. In short: your data is used only to run the app for you. It is never sold and never used for ads.
What Focus stores
Your account. Your email address, used to sign you in. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your email address and basic profile (name and picture); Focus only uses the email.
What you put in. Your tasks, projects, notes, workspaces, timers and the things you're waiting on, and your messages to the assistant along with its replies.
What helps it plan for you. When you finish tasks and how long they took, your mood setting, when you skip something or say you don't get it, your timezone, and short notes the assistant keeps about how you work (for example, “laundry usually takes 55 minutes”).
Notifications. If you turn on timer notifications, a subscription address for your browser or phone, so Focus can tell you when a timer finishes.
Like most websites, our hosting providers keep short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) to run and protect the service.
How it's used
Only to run Focus for you: to show your next step, let the assistant organize and prioritize your tasks, and send the notifications you asked for. Focus has no ads, no analytics or tracking scripts, and does not sell or share your data for anyone else's use.
The AI assistant
To reply to you and plan your tasks, Focus sends your message and the relevant parts of your task list to Anthropic's Claude API. Anthropic processes this to generate a response under its commercial terms, which do not allow using it to train their models.
Services that help run Focus
- Supabase: database and sign-in.
- Vercel: hosting.
- Anthropic: the AI assistant.
- Google: sign-in, if you choose it.
- Resend: delivering sign-in emails.
- Apple, Google or Mozilla push services: delivering notifications to your device, if you turn them on.
Each only receives what it needs to do its part.
Cookies
Focus uses one cookie: the one that keeps you signed in. Nothing else.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your data is kept while you have an account. To get a copy of it, or to have your account and everything in it deleted, email hello@hellafocused.com. Deletion is completed within 30 days.
Security
Everything travels over encrypted connections. Your data is kept separate from everyone else's, and the database can only be reached by the Focus server after checking who's signed in. No system is perfectly secure, so please don't store passwords or other secrets as tasks.
Children
Focus isn't meant for children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change too. For significant changes, you'll be told in the app or by email first.
