What is FocusHub?
FocusHub is a versatile workspace manager designed to help users efficiently manage applications, folders, files, and web links. The main goal of the app is to optimize workflows by creating specific workspaces that organize apps, links, folders, and files related to particular tasks or projects. These workspaces can then be opened with a single click.
The application is ideal for users who frequently switch between different projects or tasks. It helps minimize distractions and focuses on the relevant tools and files.
Overview of the User Interface
The user interface of FocusHub is clear and intuitive, offering the following main areas:
- Menu Bar: Located at the top, providing quick access to common functions and the help section.
- (A) Workspace List (left side): Displays all saved workspaces in the left section. You can easily switch between different workspaces or create and name new ones.
At the bottom are buttons to add a new workspace, and when a workspace is selected, a button appears to open all objects in the workspace. - (B) Workspace Detail View (middle area): The central area shows detailed information about the selected workspace, including associated apps, links, folders, and files. A description can be entered here.
At the bottom of the display, it is possible to add weblinks or link lists to the workspace. In the central area of the workspace list, individual apps, files, or links can also be opened and deleted. - (C) Running Apps and Files (right side): The right side lists currently open applications, folders (under "Finder" and "Other"), and files that are currently open on your Mac, as well as files accessible under "recently used files" in Finder. These files are associated with the open apps or collected under "Other".
