Bring the work
Keep your task system. Write back the proof.
Todoist import
Pro pulls planned tasks into Attractor
Calendar write-back
Completed sessions become Calendar events

Focus Awareness, Pro
Catch the drift before it wins.
Focus Awareness reads the shape of a session, not the contents of your work. App context, switches, and activity counts become a model-checked signal, then a glow nudge. Screen OCR stays on-device and behind explicit macOS permission.

Attractor does not force one AI path. Use an OpenAI-compatible BYOK provider, or run a downloaded MLX model fully offline on this Mac.
BYOK

Distraction checks pass confidence gates, cooldowns, and per-session limits before the screen edge lights up.

Privacy boundary
Signals, not surveillance.
Awareness is scoped to focus sessions and controlled by macOS permissions. The full policy stays available as a stable page for app links and review.
Read the full privacy model- Focus Awareness only runs during active focus sessions.
- Keystrokes are counted, not captured.
- Window and URL context stay under user-controlled permissions.
- Screen OCR is on-device, permission-gated, and user-controlled.
- Model checks can run through BYOK or a fully offline local MLX model.
- The timer stays free. Imports, write-back, awareness, and nudges belong to Pro.
FAQ
The boundary in plain terms.
What is Attractor?
Attractor is a Mac-native focus cockpit that connects local tasks, optional imported tasks, a free focus timer, Calendar write-back, and optional Focus Awareness signals.
Which task sources does Attractor support?
Attractor supports Obsidian and Todoist task import in the Pro layer, with the import layer designed to expand to more work sources.
Does Attractor sync with Calendar?
Yes. The current Calendar feature writes completed focus sessions to Calendar. It does not plan sessions from Calendar events yet.
Is the focus timer free?
Yes. The focus and break timer is part of the free plan. Focus Awareness and nudges belong to Pro.
