Focus on Five Is Back. And Better Than Ever with AI!
Almost ten years ago, I built Focus on Five to solve my own problem: staying focused on what matters. Now it's back—completely rewritten with Apple's latest technologies, Apple Watch support, and Dexter AI, our fine-tuned AI companion that helps you break down big goals into actionable weekly priorities. The app is free to use. A lot of effort went into this rewrite. I hope you'll love it.

The app creates a pause exactly when situations trigger unwanted behaviors. A practical CBT tool that works in real-time, when you need it most.

Celebrating 10 Years of Digiguys Apps
Ten years ago, while editing photos on my iPad at a Caribbean beach, I realized Apple Photos didn't have the features I wanted as a photographer. That moment sparked a journey that would grow from one simple app to 16 apps used by photographers in Sydney, designers in Arizona, painters in Oregon, and teachers in classrooms worldwide. Today, we celebrate not just apps, but a community that has turned moments into art. Thank you for being part of the Digiguys story.
