Introduction

Focus is a productivity management application that provides notes, to-dos,

to-learns, journaling, calendars, knowledgebase, projects, and many more. Users
can connect these components to create their systems for knowledge
management, project management, note-taking, data management, etc.

What problem does this software solve?

This software is designed to solve the issue of staying focused on our goals and
tasks. It also solves the problem with documentation and organizations of

Google Docs. Therefore, a system like FOCUS can be beneficial to stay focused
and be more productive.
