A free two-minute assessment that identifies which of six focus failure modes best matches how your attention actually breaks during work: task bouncing, tab accumulation, interrupt chasing, rabbit holing, system churn, or feed loops. Each answer describes a concrete work scenario rather than asking you to rate yourself, and the result explains the mechanism behind your pattern and what fixes it.

No. It is a structured self-assessment built on published, peer-reviewed attention research, including Gloria Mark's interruption studies at UC Irvine and Sophie Leroy's work on attention residue. Where a popular statistic turned out to come from a press interview rather than a paper, as the widely quoted 23 minute figure does, we use the published number instead. It is not a clinical instrument and does not screen for ADHD or any other condition. If focus problems are seriously affecting your life, talk to a professional.

Because two of the six failure modes respond better to other approaches. A pure feed habit responds well to hard blockers like Cold Turkey, and interrupt-driven attention improves a lot with built-in macOS Focus modes. Hugo is built for the modes where blocklists fail - when your distractions are legitimate work. Recommending it for the others would be marketing, and the diagnosis stops working the moment it becomes marketing.
