Show HN: TimeSnap – A Minimalist Focus Timer That Tracks Distractions

1 Usef 0 8/5/2025, 12:02:57 PM usefsgh.gumroad.com ↗
Hey HN

I just launched TimeSnap, a lightweight desktop app built for deep work and distraction control.

What it does:

Tracks your focus sessions

Lets you whitelist apps (everything else is considered a distraction)

Shows you exactly when and where you lost focus

Optional glowing screen border for visual feedback

Clean UI with session history, achievements & recap

No bloat. No complicated setups. Just a fast way to get into flow and stay there.

Check it out https://usefsgh.gumroad.com/l/uxhixl($39.99)

I'd love your feedback on the concept, design, or anything you'd improve. I'm bootstrapping this solo and open to all thoughts!

Thanks for reading
