## The problem

Focus is a feeling. The lights, the music, the apps you keep open, the
notifications you turn off: that's the actual stack. Productivity apps
treat focus as a timer. Focrel treats it as a *place*: a context with
its own wallpaper, soundtrack, to-do list, and macOS Focus mode. Switch
the context, switch the realm.

## What shipped

A free macOS beta. Native Tauri app that owns four pieces of system
state per realm: wallpaper, background audio, the active to-do list, and
the macOS Focus mode. One click swaps all of them. Crash-safe by design:
if the app dies mid-session, the next launch restores your original
wallpaper and exits the Focus mode cleanly. Marketing site at

## What's next

Windows and Linux builds first. Then user accounts and device sync, iOS
and Android companions, and a paid tier for cloud-synced realms. The
local-first core stays; sync is additive, not a replacement.
