Centered — The only to-do list that helps you get things done

I find Centered to be an incredibly useful tool for getting into flow. It's dastardly good at catching me when I go off task and gently nudges me back to what I was doing. It's like having one of those cartoony angels sitting on my shoulder and smacking me (lovingly) on the side of my head every time I get distracted by a DM or want to "check Twitter real quick". Strongly recommended!

I've been using Centered for a year now and I absolutely love it. The team has tirelessly iterated and arrived at what I believe to be the best version yet. Can't wait to get all my friends to use it :)

I just registered. But I will comment BEFORE using it. I would like to share some thoughts I always have regarding productivity tools in general. Basically: I love them. The problem is that the space is too crowded and I am generally afraid of them becoming a (one more) procrastination factor. Would I try this if I had not seen the @chrismessina amazing comment? Maybe not. I am working with Todoist + Session and in general it works pretty fine for me. But I guess I love to procrastinate trying new stuff :) See you later!

First, I’d like to thank @chrismessina and thank him for hunting us. I’m excited the day has come when we’re on Product Hunt! I founded Centered because the world has gotten so full of distractions and intrusive notifications and I wanted to create a tool to help me focus and get through my work more quickly and healthier. My team and I built Centered as a Flow State app with: ✅ Simple and Elegant Task Management ✅ Beautiful Flow Music ✅ Virtual Coaching to keep you on track ✅ Notification Blocking and Do-Not-Disturb mode (mac only) ✅ Analytics so you can improve You run Centered on your laptop or desktop whenever you are working and it creates a beautiful bubble of focus around you. Our early users are finishing their tasks 30% faster than they estimate, and I’d love to hear from you about your experience. To get started, just download the desktop app and sign up for a free month of Premium using the Promo Code ➡️HUNT⬅️. See you in Flow!

I gave this a shot a few weeks ago in beta and it was awesome! I desperately needed to prepare for a presentation and this forced all the distractions out of my mind. Stoked to see this on PH! <3 Best of luck and don't hesitate to try it out!

The first time I ran Centered, it immediately clicked for me. The psychological nudges, the sense of community, the music... everything. For me, it combines all of the positive social pressures of working physically at an office, with none of the distractions. When they asked me to come work at the team at Centered, I was delighted! The product continues to grow so much, and we have so much planned on our roadmap that is going to make Centered the goto app for knowledge worker productivity. See you all in Flow! 💚

I admit, when I first saw Centered, I was skeptical because it seemed nice, but not for me. I generally like just getting work done when I can, which happens at various times of the day. But, then, I decided to give it more of a chance and put my to-do list into it and tried it out. I was immediately proven VERY WRONG. I got more done with Centered in that 2 hour flow session than I did in the previous week (that might be a near exaggeration, but it felt like that, at least). I love being held accountable as I lose focus, and having a direction (and some nice music) to keep me going. I highly, highly recommend people give it a try and see if it works for you.

Believe it or not, Centered kind of helped me get out of a procrastination rut! I love it already and will definitely get premium. Would love to see it integrate with ClickUp/Notion in the future so I don't have to manually add tasks

Amazing product! It's like a playlist for your to-do list with built in breaks. Congrats @ulf_schwekendiek on the Product Hunt launch!

Been using Centered for a few weeks now. I just got off of paternity leave and even if I'm getting half the sleep, I'm still getting good work done in less time because of Centered. Highly recommend using and sticking with it!

great job guys! the USP is clear, the product has a clear benefit, I've just signed up and can't wait to test it :-)

The product looks very interesting. It might be nice to have the ability to track progress towards goals and also track habits (unscheduled, non-flow tasks)

Huge upvote for Centered! I've been using it for a few weeks and it does wonders for my constantly distracted life.. I highly recommend it.. OK, gotta go now, Noah is yelling at me again! 😃

When I need to get something done, I’m using Centered! I’ve tried hundreds of “productivity apps” but few have actually impacted my true ability to get things done like getting into the flow state with Centered. From the focus inducing music, to friendly nudges and distraction blocking, it’s my favorite work companion. Also this team ships fast! The beta community is engaged with constructive feedback and it shows up in the weekly product updates. Keep it up @ulf_schekendiek and team! 🚀

Another surprise win for me - I shudder to list the number of apps on your theme I've tried and I hesitated before giving this a go but I'm very impressed so far. If premium was half the price I would have signed up by now - as it is I'll give myself another few weeks to decide. Well done.

Essential way to get into flow and stay focused--my productivity and accountability soar when I'm Centered!

Big fan of Centered! Helps me do focused work easily, and is great at nudging me back on task when I inevitably get distracted. It's a really valuable tool in my work toolbox.

We all could use more focus, flow and inner-peace in our lives. Centered exists to deliver on those needs and much more! As a self-proclaimed productivity nerd, I can attest to Centered's brilliance. Everything about the software is well-designed and highly effective: user-interface, features, flow music. The team is also super responsive and supportive. 😊👌

I love the tool, it works very well to stay focused. The coach that nudges is a USP. I just wish it had Todoist integration or a simple way to add tasks via Zapier or something. The copy pasting of tasks feels time consuming.

I had the opportunity to interview @ulf_schwekendiek recently on my podcast, Code Story, and check out the product. Love the concept, and appreciate how important the flow state is for developers! Centered is the BEST tool to help you get there fast. If you are interested in my chat with Ulf, check it out here!
