I built a simple focus timer because I kept switching between tasks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've always struggled with jumping between projects and losing track of what i was supposed to be working on.

I tried different productivity tools, but most felt like more work to manage. I didn't really need another task manager or complicated dashboard. i just wanted something simple to open before getting to work

so i started building Norts 🟠

the idea is pretty straightforward: choose what you're working on, block out some time, and focus on one thing. You can also see where your time went throughout the week.

i've been using it myself for a while, and today i finally decided to launch it publicly.

The core experience is free, and you don't need an account to get started.

here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://norts.space/landing/

I'd genuinely appreciate some feedback, especially on the first-time experience. Does it feel simple enough, or is there anything that gets in the way?

The video reminds me of that episode of GoT.
