Focus World
This is a time management app that grows a world while you focus. if you distracted, there is a punishment.
Instead of forcing people to be productive, I wanted a companion that could grow with them, tease them a little, and make the act of focusing feel lighter.

Mood Check
The mood check controls the tone of the system. Evil mode only activates when user feels good, ensuring playful teasing never turns into emotional harm.
Setting the Focus Time
Event tags and descriptions allow each session to carry intention, creating a meaningful start before entering the tiny world. The calendar collects the planned events to enhance satisfaction.
Your distraction will cause some plants and animals in your little world to disappear and ruthlessly tell you that you killed several animals and plants. Not only that, it will also be punished with randomly increased concentration time.
User Flow
This flow keeps the system simple yet emotionally expressive, balancing productivity and playfulness.
Reflection
In this project, I often felt that the familiar structure of the time management application limited me, so it was very difficult to come up with different ideas. I also realized that I had looked at too few cases and ideas, which made the initial concept lack exploration.
This experience taught me the importance of establishing a broader visual and interaction library before design. Also, attempts at emotions and gameplay have made me think about how digital tools can become more humanized.

Design Elements
These creatures, trees, and tiny landscapes form the visual foundation of the app.
A Constantly Evolving World And Countdown
After choosing your favorite animal in advance, you can start the countdown. During the focus time, a small 3D world gradually grows.
Attention Interference
When evil mode appears, Focus World sends fake notifications that mimic real apps and messages. You may think a friend is texting you and try to reply, but once you unlock the phone, you’re pulled back into Focus World.
