How it works
Focus improves when students feel
supported, not rushed
FocusMate is designed around a simple idea: structure + guidance + reflection. No hype. No pressure. Just patient practice.
Guided Chess Play
Students play real chess, digitally or on a physical board. The game provides structure, natural pauses, and something concrete to engage with.
Clear rules create a framework. Each move requires thought. Natural pauses allow for breathing and reset.
Voice-Based Guidance
FocusMate listens and responds through voice. Prompts are gentle: reminders to slow down, encouragement when stuck, and space to breathe.
Real-time support that adapts. No screen distractions. Just calm, helpful prompts when needed.
Reflection and Feedback
After moments of play, FocusMate asks simple questions: What were you thinking? What distracted you? What worked? Reflection builds self-awareness over time.
Simple questions, not quizzes. Building awareness of attention. Learning what helps focus, personally.
Designed for Real Students
Features are added only when they support clarity, calm, and sustained engagement. Anything that adds noise gets removed.
Built with real students. Tested in real settings. Every feature serves focus, nothing else.
Structure
Clear rules and boundaries create a safe space for focus practice.
Guidance
Gentle support when needed, without pressure or judgment.
Reflection
Building self-awareness through simple, meaningful questions.
