FocusLens – AI vision tracks real screen focus, not just time

Summary: FocusLens uses Apple Vision AI to detect when you are actually looking at your Mac screen, measuring true focus rather than just time spent at the desk. It processes data entirely on-device, ensuring privacy, and integrates with Pomodoro timers, multi-display setups, and calendar apps.

What it does

FocusLens performs 1fps face detection using Apple’s Vision framework to track real attention by detecting if you are looking at the screen, pausing timers when you look away. It runs fully offline with no data leaving your Mac.

Who it's for

It is designed for users who want accurate focus tracking during work sessions, especially those using Pomodoro techniques or multi-display setups.

Why it matters

It solves the problem of overestimating productivity by distinguishing actual screen focus from mere time spent at the desk.
