# Focusel

> Focusel is a minimalist, local-first desktop productivity app for deep work. It helps students, developers, and professionals eliminate digital distractions, lock focus, and build consistent study and work habits.

## What is Focusel?

Focusel is a native desktop application (Windows and macOS) that creates a distraction-free digital environment. Unlike browser-based tools, Focusel runs locally—all your data stays on your device, fully encrypted, never sent to a cloud server.

## Core Features

- **Focus Lock**: Instantly covers your screen with a frosted-glass blur timer when you drift to a distracting app—safely blocking the noise until you refocus.
- **Local AI Co-Pilot**: A minimal command-line style chat interface that gives locally-processed insights on your notes and helps you reset your focus—completely private.
- **Focus Mascot**: A semi-transparent floating widget that stays in your line of sight, keeping your current milestone anchored above all your windows.
- **Personalized Focus Roadmap**: An adaptive system that shifts with your actual workload, automating Pomodoro-style sessions and adjusting to your natural pacing.
- **Modular Canvas Workspace**: A fully customizable interface you can adapt to your workflow—not a rigid layout forced by the developer.
- **Notification Control**: Automatically quiets Slack and email during deep work sessions.
- **Local Data Privacy**: 100% locally isolated—your data lives on your hardware, not in the cloud.
