Focus for the ADHD brain

Dozens of interruptions a day. Hubbub gives focus a clean run.

It was never a willpower problem.

You tried the apps. You tried harder. But focus was never about motivation. Hubbub changes what's in front of you, so focus comes from your surroundings, not sheer effort.

No more lost days

I used to end most days wondering where the time went. Now I know, and I'm usually glad how I spent it.

Maya Chen
Founder, early-stage SaaS

Deep work I can actually keep

I freelance for four clients and the context-switching used to wreck me. This is the first tool that actually protected my work blocks.

Daniel Okafor
Graphic designer

Less busy, finally

Things, Todoist, Notion... every other tool made me feel busier. This one made me feel calm.

Priya Subramanian
Staff engineer

It knows what's actually next

In grad school, all the deadlines feel overwhelmingly urgent. Having something say 'this is the one to do right now' has been the biggest unlock of my semester.

Theo Wallace
PhD student, computational biology

Calm, not just productive

I'm not running a company, I'm running a life. I just wanted something easy and simple to use. This is it.

Hannah Brookes
At-home parent, maker

You opened one tab to do one thing. That was forty minutes ago.

The spiral never announces itself. Hubbub's whole job is to catch the drift while the detour is still ten seconds long.

Skip the setup. Stay on task.
Track your attention.

Soft-blocking that respects your call, tracking that shows where the time goes, and setup that asks almost nothing of you.

01 · Setup

Nothing to maintain. Because you won't.

The tools that didn't stick all asked you to manage the tool instead of the work. That upkeep was just another distraction. Hubbub sets itself up from a two-minute profile and runs on its own, keeping your attention free for the real thing.

Responsible for... Product Management, Marketing
Distractions to watch... Auto-detected
Ready. Nothing to maintain.

02 · Block

A nudge, not a verdict.

When your attention drifts, Hubbub gently brings you back to what you were doing. It makes focus the easy direction, so coming back feels natural, and the choice stays yours.

See the system holding.

Time blindness means the hours vanish without a trace. A live focus ratio while you work and an honest breakdown after, so you can watch it working instead of guessing.

Focus Drift Off-task

Less to manage.

Every focus method you've tried depends on something an ADHD brain can't reliably supply on demand. Hubbub doesn't.

What it depends on
Where it breaks
“Just focus harder”
Deciding to stop, every time
Deciding to stop is the part that's hard
Blocklists & site blockers
You building and maintaining the list
Built while distracted, dropped within a week; one tap to bypass
Pomodoro timers
Remembering to start, staying in the box
Easy to ignore, and silent about what pulled you away
Screen-time limits
A cap you set in a calm moment
“15 more minutes,” tapped past by lunch
Hubbub
A two-minute profile, then nothing
Sorts work from noise for you, nudges when you drift, shows where the time went

Who it's for

However your ADHD shows up.

Hubbub meets the brain you actually have today, and shifts when it shifts.

The Overwhelmed

“Forty tabs open, three things half-done.”

Hubbub surfaces the one thing that's actually next, so you're not holding all of it at once.

The Time-Blind

“I can't feel the hours slipping by.”

A live focus ratio and a daily breakdown turn invisible hours into something you can see.

The App Graveyard

“I've abandoned every system I ever set up.”

Hubbub runs from a two-minute profile, so there's nothing to maintain or fall off of.

The Hyperfocuser

“I lock on hard, just not always to the right thing.”

A soft nudge points your focus back at what matters, not the shiny thing.

The Late-Diagnosed

“I've white-knuckled my focus for years.”

Hubbub runs your day from a calm plan, not raw willpower.

Straight talk

What Hubbub is, and what it isn't.

Hubbub isn't therapy, medication, or a cure, and it won't make ADHD disappear. It does one thing well: it arranges the environment around your work so focus is the path of least resistance instead of a fight you have to win every hour. Use it alongside whatever else works for you.
