Your calendar fills itself. Your focus doesn't.

What matters today?
When will you do it?

Focus Engine reads your GitHub, Notion, Linear, calendar, and email — then builds a brutally honest picture of your day and puts it on your calendar before your first meeting.

No more 45-minute morning triage. No more end-of-day "I was busy but nothing shipped." Just a clear plan, defended on your calendar, every single morning.

What's inside

The full picture,
finally in one place

Every capability below is live. No roadmap promises — these are the features you get on day one.

Daily Briefing Engine

Every morning, Focus Engine aggregates your calendar, tasks, and email into a single opinionated briefing — meetings, free slots, due-today tasks, in-progress work, and 2–4 focus recommendations calibrated to how heavy your meeting day actually is.

Interactive Day Planner

A visual timeline showing your free slots and tasks as draggable cards. Adjust durations, reorder tasks, exclude items — then hit "Commit to Calendar" and your focus blocks appear as real calendar events, with task links and branch references embedded.

Meeting Load Classifier

A day with 2 meetings and a day with 7 meetings are completely different. Focus Engine classifies each day as light, medium, or heavy, and adjusts how many tasks it recommends accordingly — so the plan is always achievable, never aspirational.

Urgency Detection Engine

Pattern-matches email subjects, senders, and notification types — keywords like "failed", "alert", "expired", senders like AWS or your finance team — to classify items as critical, high, or normal. Urgent signals surface immediately, not buried in a 47-item inbox.

Real-Time Urgent Alerts

When a critical item arrives during working hours — CI failure, security notice, overdue payment — an in-app notification fires immediately. You're aware within 15 minutes, not at the next time you happen to open your inbox.

Cross-System Deduplication

The same "Fix login bug" appears as a Notion card and a GitHub issue. Focus Engine detects the overlap using fuzzy matching and URL cross-referencing, merges them into one item, and shows context from both sources. No double-counting.

Calendar Focus Block Creation

A task on a list is aspirational. A task on a calendar is a commitment. Focus Engine writes your accepted blocks directly to Google Calendar or Outlook — with task links, priority labels, and branch references in the event body.

11 Native Integrations

GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Asana, Notion, Todoist, Google Calendar, Outlook/365, Gmail, and Slack. Connect what you already use. Each is optional — fewer connections means a less complete picture, but the core planning logic still works.

Priority-Aware Scheduling

Slots fill in strict priority order: urgent → due today → in-progress work → client-facing → quick wins → backlog. In-progress work gets preferential placement because momentum compounds and context-switching destroys it.

Smart Duration Estimates

Bug fix gets 60 minutes. Feature work gets 120. PR review gets 30. Quick wins get 45. Client work gets 90. Meeting prep gets 20. Defaults are sensible enough that most people don't change them — but every estimate is overridable per task.

Honest Overflow Handling

When your selected work exceeds today's available focus time, Focus Engine shows exactly what fits and what's deferred — in order. No silent overcommitment. Deferred tasks surface first in tomorrow's briefing.

Guided Setup Wizard

Connect your calendar, add a task source, set your working hours — then generate your first briefing. A four-step onboarding flow that ends with a real, live plan for your actual day. Not a demo. Your data, immediately.

Keyboard-First Navigation

Open briefing (B), open planner (P), accept plan (A), defer task (D), mark in-progress (I), command palette (⌘K). Built for developers who reach for the keyboard before the mouse.

Focus Adherence Tracking

Focus Engine stores each day's blocks and compares them against calendar actuals. Your weekly adherence percentage shows on the dashboard — so you can see whether your plans are realistic or just optimistic.

Custom Priority Rules

Define rules that shape how tasks are weighted: "always treat tasks from Project X as urgent", "deprioritise backlog tags", "boost anything labelled client-facing". Your priorities, encoded — not overridden by defaults.

Briefing & Plan History Export

Export your historical briefing data and focus-block plans as CSV or JSON. Your time data belongs to you — analyse it however you like, in whatever tool you prefer.

Integration Sync Health

A settings panel showing each integration's last sync time, health status, and a "Resync Now" button. Expired tokens are surfaced immediately with a re-authorize prompt — no silent stale data, ever.

The user journey

From fragmented to
focused in four steps

1

Connect your tools

The setup wizard walks you through connecting at least one calendar and one task source — GitHub, Linear, Notion, Jira, or others. Set your working hours. That's the full setup. Focus Engine reads from where your work already lives.

2

Open your briefing

Every morning, before you open your laptop, a briefing email lands in your inbox. Open the app and it's already computed: today's meeting load, available focus time, tasks due today, in-progress work, and 2–4 recommended focus items — calibrated to your actual schedule.

3

Build your day plan

Hit "Plan My Day" and the interactive planner shows a visual timeline of your free slots with tasks as draggable cards. Adjust durations, reorder, exclude items you'll skip. See exactly what fits and what overflows — honestly, before you commit.

4

Commit to calendar

Click "Commit to Calendar" and your focus blocks appear as real calendar events — with task links and priority labels embedded. The rest of your day is meeting-proof. If a new urgent item arrives, you get an in-app alert within 15 minutes.

The bit everyone else misses

Every planning tool ignores the most important variable: how many hours of meetings you're already committed to.

Without Focus Engine

✕You plan 8 tasks. You have 6 hours of meetings. You complete 1.
✕Due dates buried in three different tools surface the day after they're due.
✕A CI failure email sits unread for 3 hours alongside 40 newsletters.
✕45 minutes of morning triage before you write a single line of code.
✕The same work appears twice across Notion and GitHub and gets double-estimated.

With Focus Engine

✓Heavy meeting day: 2 focus tasks recommended. Light day: 4. Plan is always honest.
✓Every task with a due date surfaces on that day — regardless of which tool it lives in.
✓Critical alerts classified and surfaced within 15 minutes during working hours.
✓Briefing loads instantly. First task starts inside 5 minutes of opening your laptop.
✓Duplicate work items merged. One item, context from both sources. No double-counting.

Questions

The honest answers

Do I have to move my tasks into Focus Engine?

No. Focus Engine connects to GitHub, Linear, Jira, Asana, Notion, and Todoist via OAuth and reads tasks directly from those systems. Your work stays where it is. Focus Engine is a reading and scheduling layer — it does not ask you to re-enter anything.

What happens if I only connect one or two integrations?

The briefing renders with whatever data it has and clearly shows which sections are incomplete — with a "Connect X to see more" callout in the relevant section. Fewer connections means a less complete picture, but the core logic (prioritise → schedule → protect) still works with the data available.

Does it write to my calendar without asking?

No. Calendar events are only created when you explicitly click "Commit to Calendar" in the day planner. You review and adjust the proposed plan first. If you generate a new plan, existing Focus Engine calendar blocks from today are removed before new ones are written — no duplicates, no surprises.

What if my calendar or a task source goes offline mid-day?

The integration sync health dashboard shows the status of each connection in real time. If a token expires or access is revoked, Focus Engine marks that integration as degraded, sends an in-app notification, and continues planning with the remaining sources. No silent stale data — you always know what the briefing is based on.

Does changing a task's priority in Focus Engine update it in GitHub or Notion?

Priority overrides are stored locally in Focus Engine and applied during briefing generation. They do not write back to source systems unless you have configured write-back. This means you can adjust planning priority without touching the source record.

What if I add a new task or meeting after the morning briefing runs?

Hit "Refresh Briefing" at any time. This triggers an on-demand sync of all connected integrations and regenerates the briefing with the latest data — new tasks, calendar changes, and updated task statuses all pulled in immediately.

Which Notion databases does Focus Engine sync from?

After connecting Notion, Focus Engine presents a list of your databases and lets you select which ones contain tasks to sync. Your selections are saved. This prevents the system from guessing — which would be unreliable given how varied Notion workspace structures are.

Built for data you can't afford to lose

Your calendar, your tasks, your email — these are the most sensitive artefacts of your work life. We treat them accordingly.

Encrypted OAuth Tokens

All OAuth access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest. Scopes requested are read-only where possible — we take only what the feature needs.

Proactive Token Refresh

Background jobs refresh OAuth tokens before they expire. If a refresh fails, the integration is marked degraded immediately and you're notified — no silent access loss.

Sync Health Transparency

Every integration shows last sync time, status, and error count. You always know how fresh your briefing data is — and can force a resync any time.

Your Data, Exportable

Export your full briefing and plan history as CSV or JSON at any time. No lock-in. If you leave, you take your planning history with you.

Stop wondering. Start working.

Your day is already
planned.
You just don't know it yet.

Focus Engine reads your tools, weighs your meeting load, and writes a defended day plan to your calendar every morning — so the first thing you do is work, not plan to work.
