THE REAL PROBLEM

You lose 2 hours every day — and don't even notice.

Cmd+Tab. Open calendar. Check meeting. Back. Notes app. Jot the idea. Spotify. Skip song. To-do app. Wait, where was I?

23 minutes — that's how long UC Irvine says your brain needs to get back into flow after each interruption.

You don't have too little time. You have too many windows.

THE SOLUTION

A sidebar that's only there when you need it.

No app-switching. No tab avalanche. No „wait, where's my to-do list?“. Mouse to the left edge — everything is there. Mouse away — everything is gone. That simple.

How it works

Three seconds. Zero learning curve.

01

Mouse to the left edge

FokusBar glides in smoothly — in under 200 ms.

02

Click, type, plan

Calendar, to-dos, notes, music. All at a glance.

03

Mouse away → bar away

No click, no shortcut. It vanishes on its own.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Seven tools. Two mouse-flicks. Zero distraction.

07Tools
one edge
  1. 01📅

    Calendar at a glance

    Today, tomorrow, this week. Apple Calendar, Google & Outlook.

  2. 02

    To-dos that stick

    Quick capture, check off, done. Syncs with Reminders, Todoist & Things.

  3. 03📝

    Notes without friction

    Markdown, auto-save, searchable. Idea hits → captured → gone.

  4. 04🎧

    Music without opening Spotify

    Play, pause, skip. Apple Music, Spotify & YouTube Music natively.

  5. 05✍️

    Pen-canvas on the right edge

    Mouse right → transparent overlay above everything. With real pen pressure (XP-Pen, Wacom, Apple Pencil via Sidecar). Mouse left → gone.

  6. 06🌙

    100% private

    Runs fully local. No telemetry, no cloud, no trackers.

  7. 07

    Featherweight

    Native Swift app. 12 MB download. < 80 MB RAM. Apple Silicon optimized.

NEW · WORLD PREMIERE

An idea? Mouse to the right. Write over it.

Move your mouse to the right edge → a transparent canvas covers your entire screen. Sketch, highlight, annotate directly on whatever you're working on. Mouse back to the left edge → gone. Faster than any notes app. Faster than the thought itself.

  • ✍️Real pen-pressure sensitivity — XP-Pen, Wacom, Huion & Apple Pencil (via Sidecar) natively supported.
  • Sub-8 ms latency — feels like pen on paper, not like software.
  • 🪟Floats above every app — Figma, Xcode, Keynote, browser. No switching needed.
  • 📸One click → annotated screenshot straight to your clipboard.

I thought I didn't need another productivity app. Three days later I dropped Notion, Things and Spotify from my dock. FokusBar replaces all three for me."
Lukas M. · iOS Developer, Berlin
Finally no more 14 tabs. I barely use Cmd+Tab anymore. Best €3.99 I've ever spent."
Sarah K. · Freelance Designer
I write books on my Mac. Every distraction kills 30 minutes. With FokusBar focus stays, because nothing is on screen that doesn't need to be."
Tobias W. · Author
It's there when you want it. It's gone when you don't. That's software the way it should be."

Why not just Notion?

Because Notion is a web app. And you don't need another web app.
