Tempo Focus
Pomodoro timer, task tracker, and app blocker for iPhone
About
Tempo Focus turns your iPhone into a personal focus system designed to sit on your desk while you work. Bring in tasks from Linear and Apple Reminders, choose one for a focus session, and see precisely how much focused time you give it, while the tools you already trust remain your source of truth. Use Pomodoro or open-ended timers, put distracting apps out of reach with App Blocker, and keep your current task visible beside the timer. Labels, history, and insights turn every session into a clear record of where your attention went, helping you return to meaningful work with greater intention.

A 5-minute Loom pre-sold $220K in a day — no product needed
Package existing expertise into the smallest possible artifact and put a payment link behind it. Before building anything, a Loom plus a Stripe link can tell you in 24 hours whether people actually want what you're selling.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
