💡 Why Focus Types Matter

We built FlouState because we believe:

• No judgment - Understanding your patterns, not scoring productivity
• Better insights - Know WHERE your time goes, not just how much

It helps you organize your schedule around when you're most productive and what work you're actually doing.
