New Features

Steam Friends Only Leaderboard

A leaderboard visible only to your Steam friends has been added. You can now casually compare how much you have focused with your friends. The intention is not competition, but to build a shared sense of consistency.

Steam friends only leaderboard
Automatically sorted by focus time

This feature was implemented based on a request from milchreisgourmet.

Notice

If your Steam game or profile is set to private, the leaderboard may not display correctly.

Developer's Note

This update expands Poua toward being something you can use together with friends. Focusing is something you can do alone, but maintaining consistency is easier when someone is around. The leaderboard is a tool for checking each other's flow rather than competing.

Seeing your friends accumulate their daily focus time often nudges you back into your own rhythm. To avoid adding unnecessary weight, this feature was implemented lightly so it fits naturally within Poua.

If it is difficult to find friends offline, I will add a dedicated channel in the Discord server where you can find others to connect with. You can meet new friends there and make use of the leaderboard.

If you have ideas or needs, feel free to let me know.
