Why Year Focus works

Many people choose a Word of the Year in January, but it can easily fade into the background as daily life takes over. Year Focus brings it back into view every time you open a new tab, with a calm dashboard that helps you stay connected to your intention throughout the year.

You can see your word or phrase, track year progress, view days and weeks left, and do a simple one-click daily check-in — without turning it into a complicated productivity system.

How it works

A simple loop to keep your focus present.

1

Choose your Word of the Year

Mark the current day as a Focus day with one click. After check-in, it switches to a calm mode.

3

See progress

See your year progress, Focus days (YTD), and a last-30-days heatmap.
