Background about this project --<p>I read Cal Newport&#x27;s Deep Work (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1455586692" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted&#x2F;...</a>), which explains how to work in a way that maximizes your output. In short, he recommends spending short periods of time hyper-focused on difficult problems with absolutely no distractions.<p>I applied this way of working to how I approached studying for software engineering and it helped me tremendously. I was able to pick up difficult solutions quite quickly without spending huge amounts of time studying. I&#x27;ve continued to use this way of working over the last couple of years, which has helped me perform well at work + on side projects.<p>During this time, I had no way to track my deep work hours or what I was getting done in those sessions. This allows you to do just that. You can think of it like Google Analytics for your Deep Work time.<p>It&#x27;s in the early stages now, but I&#x27;m in the process of adding essential features.

If trying the app without login isn&#x27;t possible, at least provide some screenshots please.<p>Why would I take the time to try an app that I know nothing about? My attention resources are too scarce.
