Focus Room for Designers
Design work requires deep focus. Create alongside designers who are actually shipping, not just pinning.
Start focusing — it's freeDrop into BuckleTime's designers room and focus alongside others who are doing the same kind of work.

You'll earn points and streaks for staying focused, and the presence of other people working keeps you accountable.

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.

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.
