About the startup

Locu combines a minimalist to-do list, rich notes, and a focus timer with an app/website blocker into a single workflow — so you stop context-switching and start shipping. Pull in tasks from Linear and Jira (two-way sync) or create them directly. Plan your day with calendar and meeting notes. Then lock in: work one task at a time in timed deep-work sessions grounded in ultradian cycles, with distracting apps and websites blocked and a floating notes panel to keep context close. Every session is automatically tracked. Built-in reports, focus insights, and CSV export make progress review and invoicing dead simple. Blazingly fast (<50 ms interactions), offline-first, keyboard-driven, with a public REST API. Integrates with Google Calendar and Slack (status sync + notification management). Available on macOS, Windows, and Web.
