Focus Cost

Focus Cost: See What Procrastination Actually Costs You You already know you spend too much time on YouTube, Reddit, and Instagram. What you probably don't know is what that time is worth in dollars. Focus Cost runs quietly in the background and tracks every minute you spend on distraction sites. It knows your hourly rate, it knows how long you've been gone, and it shows you the number you've been avoiding: the real cost of this session, in dollars and cents, ticking up in real time. Most productivity tools try to block your access or guilt you with streaks. Focus Cost doesn't block anything. It just makes the cost of distraction visible, and visibility changes behavior. When you can see that 45 minutes of scrolling equals $11.25 of your own time, the choice to keep going feels different. You're not breaking a rule; you're deciding whether the content is worth the price.
