Show HN: I built a local-first timeboxing app that never leaves your computer

Hi HN

I built FocusBox.dev — a local-first, distraction-free timeboxing app that runs entirely in your browser.

It’s designed for developers and makers who want to focus without sign-ups, analytics, or cloud sync. Everything — tasks, timers, preferences — lives only on your device.

Built with: React + Vite Storage: localStorage (no backend, no API calls) Features: – Timeboxing / Pomodoro sessions – Persistent local tasks – Minimal dark-mode UI – Works offline (PWA-ready)

I built FocusBox because I wanted a simple focus tool that respected attention and privacy — no login walls, no tracking, no noise.

Open source on GitHub: https://github.com/adityak74/focusbox.dev

Would love your feedback — especially from folks interested in local-first apps, frontend-only design, or mindful productivity.
