🎡 Building your MVP? Try listening to music β€” here's what worked for me

byβ€’

Hey Product Hunters! πŸ‘‹

While building MFocust β€” my focus app for deep work β€” 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:

  • πŸ”‹ Low energy? Slow binaural beats or ambient lo-fi to ease in

  • ⚑ Medium? Upbeat instrumental to keep momentum going

  • πŸš€ 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 β€” 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 β€” just drop a comment πŸ‘‡
