Foocus is the learning system that keeps you accountable. Plan in the app, focus with the Cube.

Your Focus, Your Progress.
Made Tangible.

We are building the Foocus learning system because we believe studying should be simple. You need a system that reduces resistance to studying, blocks out digital stimuli, and lowers the barrier to getting started.

CUBE

Mechanical. Offline. Satisfying.

Ready with one click

No app to open, no timer to set. One push of a button starts your study session. Immediate mechanical feedback is your starting signal.

Integrated Pomodoro System

The Cube paces your workflow without a Display. 25 minutes of focus build up gradually. Followed by a 5-minute break. The Cube handles the pacing, you stay on task. At the end of each session, you get an ASMR reward.

Offline by design. Wherever you need it.

The Cube operates completely autonomously. Your phone stays out of sight. You are unreachable and have no distractions at your desk.

APP

Your progress
made visible

Strategic Goal Planning

In the app, you break down long-term goals into clear, achievable milestones and link them directly to your upcoming study sessions.

Collect your rewards

Real effort deserves real motivation. For completed sessions and achieved milestones, you unlock puzzle pieces for personalized artworks. Your progress accumulates in your own gallery as visible proof of your work.

We needed a
real system.

As students, we struggled with procrastination and lack of structure ourselves. We tried many productivity strategies and apps. The problem: Anyone who reaches for their smartphone to start a timer is just one swipe away from the next distraction.

We realized that true concentration needs a physical anchor. Planning and progress belong in the app – the actual focus belongs at the desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Cube work without a screen?

The Cube shows work time and breaks through mechanical elements, with no screen at all. At the end of every session and every break, you get the mechanical ASMR reward from the moving parts.

Do I need the app to use the Cube?

No. You can use the app without the Cube, and the Cube without the app. You get the most out of it when you use both together.

When are you launching?

Likely still in 2026.

Why not just put my phone in another room and use a kitchen timer?

You can – and if that works for you, you don't need us. For most people, it fails for two reasons: a kitchen timer ticks and shows the time running out, which creates pressure instead of taking it away. And "put the phone away, get the timer, set the timer" is several steps, and each one is a chance to skip it after all. The Cube turns this into a single push of a button, where the focused option is the easier one instead of the harder one. You still have to make that first push yourself – no device can do that for you.

Do you have tips on how to study effectively?

We're working on a blog with evidence-based study methods and practical tips.

What will the Cube cost?

Production isn't finalized yet, so we can't name a final price. As things stand, we're aiming for €60–80, comparable to similar products on the market.

How did you develop the Cube?

Julian studies mechatronics and has the technical know-how to develop it himself. More on this in our blog on this site or via our newsletter in the future.
