Privacy & local-first

No FocusLens server. Everything stays on your Mac.

100% Local

Capture, OCR, classification, and your dashboard all run on your Mac. No FocusLens server, no account, no cloud backend.

Your API Key

Bring your own key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or xAI—or use FocusLens AI with 100k free tokens. Keys stored only on your Mac.

Private by Design

Screenshots are processed on-device. Activity logs live in a JSON file on your Mac—open them in Finder anytime.

Lightweight

Native macOS Tauri tray app. Periodic screen samples, Apple Vision OCR, and AI relevance scoring against goals you define.

How it works

A simple pipeline runs in the background while you work.

01

Capture

Every five minutes, FocusLens grabs a screenshot and detects your active app and window title.

02

Read

Apple Vision OCR extracts on-screen text locally—no extra installs required.

03

Classify

An LLM scores each sample against your focus criteria—relevance, category, and a short reason.

04

Review

Open the dashboard from the tray to see focus trends, app usage, daily goals, and detailed logs.
