Crumbles when you bite it. Light on filling.
Summary
Faahhh is a minimalist focus app that uses disruptive audio alerts to help users maintain concentration. The app runs in the menu bar and triggers loud sounds (including a customizable 'Faahh' sound) when users drift from tasks, with physical actions like slapping a desk or unplugging devices serving as triggers. It emphasizes immediate awareness through chaos rather than traditional blocking or dashboard features.
