Sukha: Why Waste Your Money on Another Focus App?

“MY DOG COULD VIBE CODE A BETTER APP THAN THIS.”

Yeah, you're a dev

Focus is harder than ever.Slack pings interrupting your coding blocksuntangling AI spaghetti code in Colin's PR• saying f-that, and refactoring Colin's AI slop by hand• checking Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, YouTube, IG...

Sound familiar?

Man, I'm jealous.
Congrats.
We have nothing for you here.
You can just ride your rainbow unicorn into the sunset.

Developer riding a rainbow unicorn

But in your career
I bet you've had days
when the code just flows…

Am I right?

Illustration of a brain in a flow state

Then you've
experienced
a Flow State.

The neurostate when your prefrontal cortex quiets down

norepinephrine sharpens attention on that center monitor…

and the code flows.

Aren't flow states the latest biohacking bs like peptides, contrast therapy and intermittent keto microdosing?

In your Flow State• you do your best work• you feel happiest• you finish fastest**with over 800K tasks completed in Sukha,
our members finish on average 40% under their task estimates

You want more days like that?

So did Tony & I.

So we researched and designed a flow state app from the ground up.

Our requirements were:1.Create a calm environment2.Play great flow music3.Finish sooner & spend more time with our kidsDeveloper working late at a desk with three monitorsYeah, that's AI. You wouldn't want to see my messy workstation.

We now use this web app

Sukha runs in the bg while we code, and it's light on our CPU/GPU with a very small RAM footprint. There's also a free Chrome Extension to nudge us when we go off track.

Sukha helps you into your Flow State with…

  • gentle app and website blocking on desktop AND phone
  • 1000+ hrs of scientifically-designed flow music including lofi and binaural
  • Oura ring-like progress metrics
  • and more

And we shared it.

Frequently asked questions

No, Sukha's not only for devs - it just happens to work well for us (as well as writers and designers who are also laptop-pounders). Sukha blocks the apps and sites that break concentration mid-debug, plays music built for long stretches of coding, and keeps a task list so the next step in a ticket is always visible.

Yes, we built this like an Oura Ring for focus. You can review your work and see where you're killing it and what got you killed. And all the data are private to you. I can't see 'em, Tony can't, your EM aka Sauron can't.

As you read this, Sukha's blocker already works across websites in any Chromium browser and we're working on a desktop app to help with native apps on your computer.

Sukha acts as a complete flow state app by actively managing external interruptions, not just internal distractions. When a session begins, Sukha integrates with Slack to automatically update your status to "In a Sukha session" and mutes incoming notifications, creating a protected environment that single-feature apps cannot provide.

About your annoying PM…welllllll…there's only so much Tony and I can fix. Maybe you can set your time-zone to Malaysia and pretend you're asleep; the modern equivalent of putting on giant noise-canceling headphones and aggressively avoiding eye contact.

You totally can manually assemble a focus stack and not pay us anything. Sukha, however, is a complete flow state app that automates the transition into deep work. Instead of relying on generic playlists and manual toggles, Sukha provides neuroscience-backed flow music, integrated task tracking, and distraction blocking in a single click, helping developers reach peak productivity with zero setup friction.

Sure, you can manually turn on DND, open a Pomodoro app, hunt for the perfect lo-fi synthwave playlist, and tell yourself you'll just check Hacker News "one last time." Or, you could just click our big green Play button. We built this because we are developers, we are inherently lazy about setup, and we just wanted an "I am ready to code now" button.

Sukha won't rebuild your mental model of the codebase for you, but it removes the interruptions that force you to rebuild it in the first place. Its AI coach can also help break a tangled bug into a short list of things to check next.

Sukha is built for individual deep work first. Writers, developers, and designers all use the same core toolkit, focus music, distraction blocking, task management, and an AI coach, tuned to how each type of work actually happens.

Not yet. We've been getting requests for this, but not enough for a small team like Tony and I to develop and support a full Linux app.

Yes - Linear, Todoist, Google Tasks.

If you need Asana, Jira or something else (not the Post-Its on your monitor), email me or Tony (support@TheSukha.co) so we know to prioritize it. We're building as quickly as our little fingers can type.

Nothing to install. Sukha runs on Mac, Windows and Chromebook, in any Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Arc, Brave), so it sits alongside your editor and terminal instead of asking you to adopt another desktop app.

Blocking covers websites and apps on your computer and on your phone, so the tab you would have opened mid-debug is closed off on both. There is also an optional free Chrome extension if you want the blocking to reach further across your browser.

You're thinking:
‘Couldn't I vibe code this?’

We totally agree.

Yeah, it's easy to think, ‘I could write this,’ and you could also cook all your meals from scratch, cut your own hair and build your own car. You are smart enough to not trivialize:

  • maintaining it every time a dependency is updated or deprecated
  • writing dozens of hours of fresh flow music each month
  • ideating, designing, engineering and debugging new features

Your time is best spent on the work that makes you money.

Letting Sukha be your secret accelerant to making more money is a better solution.

We totally agree.

You can vibe out a decent music player with a timer...
but is this the best use of your time?

  • maintaining it every time a dependency is updated or deprecated
  • writing dozens of hours of fresh flow music each month
  • ideating, designing, engineering and debugging new features

Your time is best spent on the work that makes you money.

Letting Sukha be your secret accelerant to making more money is a better solution.

Your final thought: everything above could be bs...

But what if it's not?

You've read this entire page for a reason - either some friend raved about Sukha or Claude suggested it.

The decision is yours: keep doing whatever you've been doing - if it works, don't fix it.

But deep down you know that even if HALF the productivity gains I mentioned are true, you still save 20% of your time - that's almost 2 HOURS A DAY. Imagine what you could do with that time...spend it with your family, build a side-project, go hang gliding.
