🎵 Building your MVP? Try listening to music — here's what worked for me
Hey Product Hunters! 👋
While building MFocust — my focus app for deep work — I discovered something that quietly supercharged my build sessions: the right music at the right time is a productivity cheat code.
Not just any background noise. I'm talking intentionally curated audio sequences matched to your current energy level:
🔋 Low energy? Slow binaural beats or ambient lo-fi to ease in
⚡ Medium? Upbeat instrumental to keep momentum going
🚀 High energy? Fast-paced electronic or focus electronica for deep flow
The difference between "I'll just code for 20 mins" and a 3-hour flow state is often just what's in your earphones.
I built MFocust because I got tired of bouncing between a Pomodoro timer, a Spotify playlist, and a journal — the app combines curated audio sequences with your timer and tracks which music actually helps you focus longest.
If you're in the middle of shipping your MVP right now: Try picking a playlist based on how you feel in the moment, not just habit. You might be surprised what happens.
Happy to share the specific sequences that helped me ship — just drop a comment 👇
