Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

What is new

No product found with peer-witnessed, owned onchain focus records.

Closest things out there

DeepWork (Telegram) and Kronex reward focus sessions and Focusmate pairs peers, but none record peer-witnessed sessions onchain.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

The pitch, ready

Log deep work, have a peer witness it, and own a provable record of focused time.

Problem: Self reported study hours are inflated and meaningless to anyone else, and screen monitoring tools are invasive and still easy to game.

Solution: Each session ends with a quick co-sign from a buddy who saw a light timeline, never the screen. Honest partials count, closed loops are down weighted, and verified hours accrue on Base or Celo.

Why now: Remote learning and bootcamps need credible effort signals, and cheap attestations make per session proof practical.

Market: Self taught developers and students, bootcamps, study groups and companies running learning programs.

The ask: Pilot partners: two bootcamps and one study community, plus Celo and education grants.

Funding is never guaranteed. Check each program's rules.

For hackathons and demo days

Your 2 minute demo

Home: Wen, 27, at a Taipei study cafe at 06:10.
Session: fifty minutes with Amara in Lisbon, co-signed at the end.
Session: a drifted session claims the honest 36 minutes; a solo one is not counted.
Buddy: Wen co-signs Amara's revision.
Wall: the settled sand and the CV badge gate.
Owner Cohorts: bootcamp seats with verified hours per learner.
Owner Revenue: change the Plus price and preview the Plans sheet.
Owner Growth and Roadmap: run a buddy match week, then request cohorts for bootcamps.

Many hackathons require code written at the event. See the Regatta Boardfor each race's rule.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The need

Self-taught learners and career switchers log hundreds of study hours in habit apps, but a typed number proves nothing to a hiring manager, a scholarship panel or even to themselves. Streaks break in private, and nobody else ever sees the work happen.

What exists and what is new

Parts of this exist. Focusmate pairs strangers for live accountability sessions, and DeepWork (a Telegram app) and Kronex reward focus sessions. Our research found no product that records peer-witnessed sessions as onchain records the learner owns. What is new here is the pairing of a mutual buddy co-sign with a portable, verifiable focus record. The timer and the accountability buddy are not new.

The data it runs on

Session start and end times, a coarse activity timeline (session window focused or not, idle gaps), an optional one line note, the buddy's signature, and the resulting attestation. No screen recording, no keystrokes, no code or chat content ever leaves the device.

1.The mission

Let anyone turn the quiet hours they put into learning into proof another person saw, owned by them.

2.Why people can't resist it

Someone is waiting to sign A buddy in another time zone is studying too. Skipping a session lets them down, which is a stronger pull than a streak counter.

The settled sand Every 5 verified hours adds a block to the wall. The wall only grows with signatures, so it feels earned.

Honest partials Drifted for 14 minutes? Claim the rest and it still counts. Telling the truth is rewarded, so people keep using it on bad days.

3.How it works for real

Wallet and login: Privy embedded wallets with email or passkey login, so a learner never handles a seed phrase. Smart wallet on Base or Celo with sponsored gas.

Session timer: A web and mobile timer records window focus and idle gaps locally, then hashes the coarse timeline. Only the hash and summary leave the device.

Buddy co-sign: The buddy sees the summary and signs an EIP-712 message. Both signatures are bundled into one attestation.

Attestations: Ethereum Attestation Service schema focus-session v1 on Base or Celo: learner, buddy, minutes, timeline hash, kind (full or partial). Revocable by the issuer for disputes.

Session agent: A small model tier (for example a Claude Haiku class model via an API router) summarises timelines, schedules buddies across time zones and flags closed signing loops. A larger model is only used for the monthly summary.

Indexer and profile: An indexer reads attestations into a public profile page and an embeddable badge with total verified hours, buddies and goal progress.

Notifications: Push and email reminders for booked sessions and pending co-signs, plus a Sunday summary.

4.Cost per use and pricing

Per session: one attestation on Base usually costs well under one US cent in gas, sponsored by the app. Agent calls for a timeline summary use a few thousand tokens on a small model, a fraction of a cent. A learner doing 20 sessions a month costs roughly $0.05 to $0.15 to serve. 2,000 active learners: about $150 to $300 a month including hosting.

Free $0

Timer, one buddy, private log, verified hours on your profile.

Learner Plus $4 a month

Unlimited buddies, buddy matching across time zones, monthly summary, embeddable badge.

Cohorts $99 a month per cohort

For bootcamps and study groups: cohort dashboard, mentor co-signs, exportable verified hours per learner.

5.Growth loop

Every session needs a second person, so each new learner brings a buddy. Shared badges on portfolios and job applications show the verified number to people who are learning too. Bootcamps and study groups bring whole cohorts at once.

6.Risks and guardrails

Collusion: Two people can sign each other falsely. Mitigation: timeline evidence, daily caps, half weight for closed loops until a third buddy signs, and clear public flags. It raises the cost of faking, it cannot make it impossible.

Privacy: Activity data is sensitive. Only coarse focus and idle signals are recorded, hashed locally, and never screen or keystroke content. Learners can keep their profile private.

Overclaiming value: Verified focus hours are a signal, not a qualification. The app must not tell users it will get them hired.

Buddy burnout: Checking on others can hurt your own focus. The default is one sign at the end, and buddies can pause anytime.

Permanence: Attestations are public and lasting. Learners choose what goes onchain and can revoke their own sessions from their profile view.

8.Where this is going

Now
Pairs of learners co-sign each other's sessions and own a verified record of focused hours.
Next
Bootcamps and study groups run cohorts on it, with mentors as co-signers.
Later
Scholarship and apprenticeship programs accept verified focus hours as one honest input alongside work samples.
The big one
Effort becomes visible and portable, so people without degrees can show years of disciplined learning that someone actually saw.

Why own Focus Hours

Focus Hours runs a deep work timer, has a study buddy co-sign each session, and turns your verified focus hours into a credential you own. Owning it means the study groups, bootcamps and teams who log their discipline do it under your brand and your wallet, not a productivity app that keeps their history. Every verified hour logged on your app is proof you can point to.

What’s stopping you?

“I can't code.”

You do not need to. The timer, buddy co-sign, focus profile and monthly summary come ready. You name it, pick a chain and invite your first study buddy.

“Couldn't people just fake sessions?”

A buddy could co-sign without watching, yes. Peer witnessing raises the cost of lying but does not remove it. Be honest that a focus record is a signal of discipline, not a proof of output.

“Will anyone pay for a timer?”

Probably not for the timer alone. People pay for accountability and proof: bootcamps want verified study hours, coaches want client logs. Sell to them, not to individual users.

“Is it really mine?”

Yes. Your domain, your brand, records anchored from your deployment. Users own their focus profiles; DEPLOYR keeps nothing.

“What if I stop using it myself?”

Then start small: one buddy, three sessions a week. The app works best when you are user number one.

The million-dollar ladder

You earn from groups that want verified focus: monthly plans for study groups and coaches, per-seat pricing for bootcamps and schools that want verified study hours, and team plans for companies running focus programs.
