FocusMode.
Productivity app
I designed and built FocusMode end to end: the native SwiftUI app, the Supabase backend (auth, database, edge functions, realtime) and the integrations. A tool that works just as well for a product roadmap, a marketing launch or a thesis — and that, under the hood, hides serious challenges: verified StoreKit subscriptions, Gemini AI and a GitHub sync engine.
The problem
Productivity apps force a trade-off: either they’re minimal and fall short, or they do everything and overwhelm you. And almost none adapt to you — the same rigid app to manage a roadmap, plan a launch or write a thesis.
The thesis
One app that molds to how you work. Where tasks, habits, focus (Pomodoro) and finances live together, native and with iOS 26 polish — and where the color, the projects and the pace are yours. One that serves a product team, a marketer or a grad student alike.
The solution
FocusMode is a native SwiftUI productivity suite for iPhone and iPad. Tasks with hierarchical subtasks, priorities and comments; projects and sections; habits with analytics; a Pomodoro timer with Apple Music; personal finances; a configurable theme; all in real time on Supabase.
Everything inside
- ✓Tasks with hierarchical subtasks, 4 priority levels and pinning
- ✓Projects, sections and inbox
- ✓Today view with a week navigator
- ✓Habits with frequency, reminders and analytics
- ✓Pomodoro + free chronometer with check-in
- ✓Apple Music integration (global and per-habit playlists)
- ✓Finances: savings, recurring expenses and wishlist
- ✓Global search
- ✓Task comments
- ✓Local reminders and notifications
- ✓Configurable theme (8 accent colors)
- ✓Premium subscription via StoreKit
Tasks with hierarchy
Nested subtasks with indent/outdent, 4 priority levels, pin-to-top and per-task comments. AI subtask generation (Gemini) through an edge function.
Focus with Pomodoro
A dual timer (Pomodoro + free chronometer) as a TabView bottom accessory, with history and premium reports per project or habit. It plugs into Apple Music: a global playlist or one per habit, showing what’s actually playing.
Measurable habits
Habits with configurable frequency, icon, color, reminders and their own playlist. Premium analytics: heatmap, completion rate and weekly chart.
Finances
Savings goals, recurring expenses and a wishlist inside the same app — so money is part of your focus too, not another separate tool.
And for people who build software
Under the same simple app sits a serious engine: your repos become projects and your issues, tasks. Repos = projects, issues = tasks, sub-issues = subtasks and comments synced both ways. A backend-first architecture: database triggers enqueue the sync, edge functions process the queue, pg_net notifies instantly and Supabase Realtime pushes GitHub changes to the app with no polling.
4 tables, 7 edge functions and a webhook accepting issues, comments and sub-issues. The sync badge (green/amber/red) reflects each task’s state instantly.
The stack
SwiftUI with the @Observable macro (not ObservableObject), MVVM, models passed through the environment. Supabase backend: Auth (Apple Sign-In), PostgREST, edge functions, Realtime and Storage. StoreKit with backend receipt verification. Gemini for AI. The same backend powers a second cross-platform app in React Native + Expo.
Result
FocusMode is live on the App Store (iOS 26+) and part of the focusmode.net ecosystem — a single tool that adapts to how each person works.
