My fellow hunters! Let me introduce you to the first app that predicts your mood based on how you type. Shoutouts go out to the entire TypingDNA team for bringing this to life. But also, to you, the PH community for all your feedback in the last few years, and to the hundreds of people who contributed to our public research. We couldn’t have done this without you! 🙌 SO WHAT IS TYPINGDNA FOCUS? “What if you could improve your daily productivity by knowing your mood hour-by-hour?” Little did we know that this ⤴️ simple question would forever change how we think about productivity and mental health. TypingDNA Focus uses patent-pending typing biometrics technology to record how you type so you can discover when you’re most focused, tired, stressed, happy, energetic, and calm. You’ll know how you’re really feeling hour-by-hour, better plan your daily activities, and improve your productivity and mental health. - You’ll learn when you’re most focused & calm so you can better manage your to-do list - You’ll learn when you’re stressed & tired so you can take a quick walk to clear your mind before that next meeting - You’ll learn when you’re most energetic & happy so you can double-down and do more of those activities PRIVACY ABOVE ALL ELSE TypingDNA Focus tracks how you type, not what you type. Running in the background, our AI-based technology will analyze your typing patterns right on your device, so your typing data never leaves your computer. FREE TO USE Everyone starts with 3 trackable moods: Focused, Tired, Stressed We’ve also added 3 additional moods (Happy, Energetic, and Calm) that can be unlocked by helping us spread the word, or contributing to the public research program to make mood predictions even more accurate. 💃 🕺 WE NEED YOUR HELP Please remember Focus is an experimental beta and still has a few bugs to work through. We’re fine-tuning the mood predictions, but the more people who use it, the more accurate it becomes — giving you more predictable moods. MacOS users: Download Focus today. https://www.typingdna.com/focus Windows users: We're working 24/7 to expand. While you wait, contribute to the Public Research program and we’ll unlock all the features of Focus when it's available for Windows. 👉 WHO WE ARE We’re a proud Techstars NYC’18 alum, backed by Gradient Ventures (Google’s AI-focused fund). We’ve proven the market with Authentication API and TypingDNA Verify — our typing biometrics solution to replace SMS 2FA codes with better UX. And with the launch of Focus, we’re exploring just how far we can take typing biometrics to help society improve productivity and mental health. 🥇 PREVIOUS #1 PRODUCT OF THE DAY The PH community previously honored us with #1 Product of the Day for TypingDNA Authenticator, a free authenticator that worked inside the Chrome browser and used typing patterns to secure OTPs. 🤓 DEVS! ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES In the near future, we plan to allow developers to use the moods in their favorite apps. With a simple Observer pattern approach, macOS apps will be able to listen to mood changes and trigger custom actions in real-time. And that’s just the beginning! Share your feedback in the comments below; your support will make a huge difference in what the future holds. 👉 OUR PLAN FOR THE DAY We’re going to be active on Product Hunt all day long! So if you have any questions, or want to leave feedback, we’re here for you.

Launching soon!

@raulpopa Can TypingDNA be used for HIPAA-compliance?
Raul Popa
Sensitive data never leaves user's PC. There is no risk of sharing patient sensitive data because of it. So I think it's fair to say technically it is HIPAA compliant.
Joseph Abraham
@raulpopa This is very interesting Raul 😎 I've downloaded the app, going to try it today 🌟 Congrats on the launch 🚀
Lucian Daniliuc
Wow! This looks neat! I'm really curious if I really am a morning person like I say I am :D Congratulations, team!
CristianT
@dlucian That's a great idea. I will monitor this as well in the app :)
Bilal Chaglani
Great product!! Would honestly love it more, if it were also on a iOS keyboard. :)
Raul Popa
@bilal_chaglani mobile is on the roadmap too, but most people work on computers not mobile devices, and the large audience want to see their mood while they work. Therefore, for example, adding Windows support may be more important on the roadmap.
Alex Burciu
It would be cool to feed mood data into smart-shuffling songs for a dynamic playlist :D
CristianT
@alex_burciu1 Right! It's on our to-do list.
Andrei Kurtuy
Congratulations on the launch! 🚀
Arpit Mishra
Boom💥 ..Can I share it with my employers? Would love them to know my response to 'Can you stay back for few more hours.....' Testing immediately. Will keep you guys updated Kudos @raulpopa and team on the launch 🚀
Lalit Pandey
I love the products that feel impossible and yet are doing great job. All the best.
CristianT
@lastyprsfe It sounds like it's using magic, right? It is actually trained with data (500 participants, over 2 million keystroke events, and over 20 different moods researched -- to be more precise) and we will only improve this as more people will opt-in to participate in our public research program.
Alex Serdiuk
I am a big fan of your products. They change the quality of life!
Morgan Titcher
This looks super promising! Keep up the great work!
I assume this sends all thee keystrokes off to your server? So it's essentially a keylogger?
CristianT
@casperstr The app never analyses what you type, only how you type, and even that is processed on your device alone.
Lukas Kemkes
This looks awesome, I want to have it!!! 😍 Is it possible to export data? I'd absolutely love to combine it with an export from my WHOOP data to see what impact sleep has on productivity and mood.
Raul Popa
@lukas_kemkes at this time no, but you'll be able to do some of these things in the future. What is curious is that while hardware based technologies like WHOOP work best when you are highly active (running) or innactive (sleep), they fall short when you are doing your day to day job, at the computer. Definitely we see potential in combining data from multiple devices/sensors and for sure will see more of it in the future.
Joe
Testing the 2FA product Hope we can get a discount :(
Raul Popa
Even better, try TypingDNA Verify, we'll give you 1 year free.

Hey PH fam ✍ Writing is a reflection of our mood, and TypingDNA Focus team (@stefanendres, @tamascristian, @raulpopa, @avictorpop) is here to make help us analyze, get insights, and optimize our writing skills. Give it a try and let us know what you learnt about your writing habit?
CristianT
Thank you for hunting us!
Chris Prescott
Looks interesting, would be more interested in knowing the mood of my Slack based colleagues though! "David is super pissed, steer clear!" etc
Raul Popa
@cpresc it's a good idea, but they have to be willing to share too.
Chris Prescott
@raulpopa perhaps there's a Prisoner's Dilemma viral opportunity here then? "let's improve together" etc
Raul Popa
Haha, indeed
