What's actually stealing your focus?
Log every distraction and let AI show you the patterns, the worst offenders, and when you're most vulnerable.
Updated 1 July 2026
Over 14 days, social media appeared in 11 logs with an average 12-minute recovery time, while email averaged 6 minutes. Your worst time: 14:00–16:00, when 9 of …
You already know distractions are a problem — but you probably don't know which ones cost you the most time, or when you're most at risk. This tracker turns vague frustration into specific data: the exact types, the recovery time, the time-of-day vulnerabilities. Once you see the pattern, you can decide what's worth protecting against.
6 fields. Done in 30 seconds a day.
Fast enough to fit into any routine, specific enough to generate real patterns after 30 days.
Log, build, learn.
Log at day's end
Spend 30 seconds estimating your distraction count, naming the worst one, and noting when you were most vulnerable.
Build a distraction map
After a week or two, you'll have enough logs for AI to spot which types recur, which times of day are danger zones, and how recovery time varies.

AI surfaces your most frequent offender, your most vulnerable hour, and whether your protective strategies correlate with better focus quality or fewer distractions.
Why people stick with it.
4 things Distractions log reveals about you.
- Which specific distractions derail you most often (and which ones cost you the most recovery time)
- The time of day when your focus is most vulnerable to interruption
- Whether your protective strategies (notifications off, door closed, headphones) actually correlate with better focus quality
- How distraction count affects your end-of-day mood and completed focus sessions
Here's what arrives at 30 days.
Illustrative — your analysis uses your own data.
AI looks at which distraction types recur most often, which ones you name as the single worst offender, and whether certain times of day consistently show up as vulnerable. It also checks whether your average recovery time varies by distraction type, and whether days with more completed focus sessions correlate with fewer distractions or specific protective strategies. The insights are based on your actual logs — not assumptions about what 'should' derail you.

Common questions
Do I log every single distraction as it happens?
No — log once at the end of your work day. You're estimating how many distractions hit, which types, and which one was the worst. It's a 30-second reflection, not real-time tracking.
What counts as a distraction?
Anything that pulled you out of focused work: a notification, a person, a thought, a scroll, a sudden urge to check something. If it broke your flow, it counts.
What if I can't remember the exact number of distractions?
Estimate. The AI looks for patterns across days, not perfection within a single log. Close enough is useful.
How does AI spot my 'worst offender'?
It tallies which distraction you named as the single worst across all your logs, and looks at whether that distraction also shows up in your multi-select list of types — frequency plus severity.
What if my distractions change week to week?
That's the point. AI will show you whether your worst offender is consistent or rotating, and whether certain times of day stay vulnerable even as the distractions themselves shift.
Will this tell me how to fix my focus?
No. It shows you the data: what's interrupting you, when, and how long it takes you to recover. What you do with that information is up to you.
