Locu

Locu provides a single workspace where developers and other knowledge workers can plan their day, break work into 90‑minute focus sessions, and track the time spent on each task. Users import tasks from Jira or Linear, or create custom items, and attach notes to keep full context without switching applications. The built‑in Pomodoro‑style timer enforces ultradian cycles, prompting breaks and helping maintain flow.

The app records time automatically, offering insights into how much effort each project receives and allowing retrospective review of daily, weekly, or monthly activity. By consolidating tasks, notes, and time tracking, it aims to reduce context switching and the “time black hole” that often occurs when work is scattered across multiple tools.

Designed for macOS (with Linux, Windows, and Web versions also mentioned), Locu targets engineers, freelancers, and founders who need a minimalist yet opinionated system for daily execution and deep work. Integration with Slack and a web blocker further support distraction‑free sessions.
