Focus Room

Focus Room for Designers

Design work requires deep focus. Create alongside designers who are actually shipping, not just pinning.

Start focusing — it's free

Drop into BuckleTime's designers room and focus alongside others who are doing the same kind of work. No video, no scheduling, no awkward introductions — just open the room and start a focus session. You'll earn points and streaks for staying focused, and the presence of other people working keeps you accountable.

How It Works

1

Drop Into the Designers Room

Open BuckleTime and join the designers room. No signup hoops, no calendar invites. You'll see others already in focus sessions — that's your cue that it's go time.

2

Start a Focus Session

Hit start and commit to a block of focused time. The timer tracks your session while you work. No video, no screen sharing — just you and your work.

3

Finish Strong, Earn Rewards

Complete your session and earn points, build streaks, and unlock achievements. Over time, you'll see your focus stats grow — real data showing how much deep work you're actually getting done.

Benefits

Protect Creative Time

Design requires flow state – but modern work is full of interruptions. BuckleTime sessions create boundaries around your most valuable creative work.

Ship Instead of Polish

Design perfectionism can trap you in endless iterations. Time-bound BuckleTime sessions help you ship good work instead of endlessly chasing perfect work.

Beat Creative Blocks

The blank Figma file is intimidating. Knowing other designers are working alongside you makes it easier to start and push through creative friction.

Design Your Hours

Creative energy doesn't follow 9-5. Whether you design best at dawn or midnight, the room is always open. Work when inspiration and energy align.

What People Say

"I stopped endlessly tweaking and started shipping. BuckleTime's session limits forced me to make design decisions and move forward."

Marcus

Freelance Designer

"The creative block doesn't feel as heavy when I see other designers working through theirs. We're all just figuring it out together."

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of designers use BuckleTime?

UX/UI designers, product designers, graphic designers, brand designers, motion designers, web designers – anyone doing professional design work. Freelance and in-house both.

Can I use this for client projects?

Yes! Many freelance designers use BuckleTime for client work. Declare the project (as vague as needed for confidentiality), then design. Your work stays private on your machine.

Is this helpful for the research/strategy phase?

Absolutely. User research, competitive analysis, information architecture – the thinking work of design requires focus too. BuckleTime helps with all phases of the design process.

Do I share my designs for feedback?

No – BuckleTime is for doing the work, not critique. For design feedback, communities like Designer Hangout or Dribbble work better. Here, the focus is on creating.

How do I handle revisions and feedback cycles?

Use BuckleTime sessions for the focused revision work. Implementing feedback requires the same deep work as initial design – maybe more. Sessions help you tackle revision lists systematically.
