Introduction

Isshin (一心: One Mind) — a state of singular focus and wholehearted dedication, where all energy is directed towards one goal, achieving an unparalleled level of concentration.

Isshin is a native macOS utility that connects your daily schedule with your digital environment. You plan your day once, and your computer automatically adjusts itself around that plan. No toggling, no willpower needed — just focus.

Isshin uses Modes (sets of rules), Zones (main blocks of your day), and Tasks (within Zones) to automatically enforce the right level of focus for whatever you're working on. When you start a task, the correct rules activate immediately. When you switch tasks, the environment adjusts.

Roadmap

POC (Proof of Concept)

• Pomodoro Timer - Core timer functionality
• App/Site Blocking - Blocks apps and websites while Pomodoro Timer is active
• Break Enforcement - Enforces Pomodoro breaks automatically
• Simple Landing Page - Landing page to download the app

Future Phases

• Time Tracking - Proper time tracking and analytics
• Zone-Based Blocking - Blocking via focus zones (work, break, deep work, etc.)
• Daily Planning - Plan your day and automatic enforcement based on schedule
