FocusOS is a professional-grade, keyboard-first execution environment designed for thinkers and makers who demand absolute focus. Unlike traditional "task managers" that prioritize organization over action, FocusOS is an Anti-Gravity Engine for your mind—eliminating the cognitive weight of management and providing a zero-friction portal to your work.
The Anti-Gravity Engine is a high-performance execution layer designed to eliminate the cognitive load of traditional task management. It is built on three core pillars:
- Ghost UI Protocol: More than a visual style, this is a functional interaction standard. The interface features dynamic opacity layers that modulate based on your interaction state, ensuring 0% visual noise while you are in a flow state.
- Zero-Friction Entry: A globally accessible command bar that allows for instantaneous task capture and mission launching. No clicking through menus; just type, enter, and execute.
- Flow Time Tracking: High-precision session logging powered by sub-millisecond context switching. Designed to mirror the way humans actually work—with deep focus sessions, short bursts, and intentional reflection.
FocusOS is built to production-grade standards with a focus on speed and reliability:
- Framework: Next.js 14 (App Router) for an instantaneous, reactive UI.
- ORM: Prisma for type-safe database access and migrations.
- Database: PostgreSQL with specialized indexing. The "Focus Switch" is designed to be near-instantaneous, ensuring no latency between thought and execution.
- State Management: Zustand for high-performance, client-side state orchestration.
FocusOS is a community-driven sanctuary. We value Execution over corporate tracking.
- Self-Hosting: You own your data. Deploy to your own infrastructure with a single PostgreSQL instance.
- Provider Agnostic: No multi-tenant vendor lock-in. Designed for local-first or private cloud deployment.

- Node.js (v20 or higher)
- PostgreSQL (Database)
