Team ships 2 sprints ahead of schedule
"We onboarded the whole eng team (12 people) in an afternoon. Within a month our sprint velocity was up 30% — not because people worked more, but because they stopped wasting time on low-value tasks."

Finished PhD chapter 3 months early
"Academic writing demands the kind of sustained focus that most apps actively destroy. Focus App's strict mode and session analytics helped me understand my peak hours and protect them. Chapter by chapter, it actually worked."
