Inspiration

Staying focused has been hard for students due to notifications, distractions, etc. Its been found that students stay motivated when someone works alongside them. I wanted to create a tool that transforms studying into a shared goal. This idea became Focure.

What it does

Focure is a two-person study room that tracks focus in real time.

  • Start a session and invite a friend.
  • A shared streak increases only when both users stay focused.
  • Tab changing detection updates your status
  • Each user has a full profile and dashboard which tracks total focus minutes, longest streak, and sessions joined

How we built it

HTML/CSS/JS for the interface, focus detection, and sessions. Firebase for login and signup.

Challenges we ran into

Syncing two users and login with both email OR username

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building a tool that actually motivates people to stay focused

What we learned

How to use Firebase authentication and realtime Database

What's next for Focure

Group focus rooms (more than 2 people)
