Hey HN! I'm Julio, and I built Superfocus over the past few weeks.
The problem: I noticed college students (including myself) struggle with focus during study sessions. Most Pomodoro timers are either too complex or too boring.
What I built:
- Simple Pomodoro timer (25/5/15 cycles)
- Custom "vibes" - students can set their own backgrounds + Spotify playlists
- Unlimited custom timers (52 min deep work, 90 min sessions, whatever works)
- Focus analytics to track productivity patterns
- Share achievements on X after completing cycles
It's free with 1 hour/day limit. Premium is $3.99/month with a 7-day trial.

Tech stack: Vanilla JS, Clerk auth, Stripe, Vercel, Resend for emails.
I'd love feedback from the HN community. What features would make you actually use a focus timer?
