Focus Room

Focus Room for Developers

Code alongside developers who are actually shipping. No stand-ups, no Slack. Just deep work.

Start focusing — it's free

Drop into BuckleTime's developers 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 Developers Room

Open BuckleTime and join the developers 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

Escape Meeting Hell

Modern dev jobs are 70% meetings, 30% context-switching. BuckleTime sessions carve out protected time for actual coding – the work you became a developer to do.

Beat Context Switching

Slack pings, email, GitHub notifications – developer focus is under siege. When you're in a BuckleTime session, you have permission to ignore everything and just code.

Ship More Features

Deep work sessions are where real development happens. Consistent focused coding time means faster feature delivery and fewer bugs from distracted work.

Code Anytime

Best coding happens at 11pm? Or 6am before standup? The developer room runs 24/7. Drop in during your peak productive hours, not someone else's schedule.

What People Say

"My PR output doubled. Something about declaring 'working on auth system' in BuckleTime made me actually finish it instead of context-switching."

Maya

Full-Stack Developer

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of developers use this room?

Frontend, backend, full-stack, mobile, DevOps, data engineers, ML engineers – all kinds. From junior bootcamp grads to senior staff engineers. Anyone who codes professionally.

Can I use this for debugging?

Absolutely. Deep debugging requires sustained focus. Many developers use BuckleTime specifically for hunting down gnarly bugs that need uninterrupted thinking time.

Is this for side projects or day job work?

Both! Some devs protect their day job deep work time. Others use it for side projects and open source. The room doesn't distinguish – code is code.

Do I share my screen or code?

Nope. This isn't pair programming. You declare what you're working on (as vague as you want), then code independently. Privacy is protected by default.

How is this different from the coding activity room?

Mostly vibes! The developer room attracts professional engineers. The coding room is broader – includes students, bootcamp learners, and hobbyists. Both are great; pick your fit.
