FocusNinja

The AI Accountability Coach for Founders

Weekly reviews, goal tracking, and the hard questions nobody else asks.

The Thesis

Founders don't burn out in a blaze. They drift.

One off week becomes two. One distracted month becomes a lost quarter. By the time you notice, the year is gone.

Drift is silent. That's what makes it dangerous.

Every founder knows what a great week feels like. Deep work. Clear decisions. Shipping things that matter. They just can't reproduce it consistently.

Because they never studied it.

Your best weeks have a pattern. So do your worst.

The difference between founders who compound and founders who plateau — is whether they can see that pattern before it costs them.

FocusNinja is the AI accountability coach that catches drift before you notice it yourself.

Log your wins. Review your weeks. Let AI surface what separates your best days from your worst.

Not motivation. Not hustle. Just the mirror you need. Before it's too late.

The morning you set the intention. Anchored. The week you almost lost. Caught. The pattern you never saw. Surfaced. The quarter you would have wasted. Saved.

The founders who win aren't the ones who work hardest. They're the ones who notice when they're off track.

We're not done.

FAQ

What is "Founder Drift" and how does FocusNinja stop it?+
Founder drift is the silent loss of momentum when small distractions accumulate over weeks. FocusNinja stops this by implementing a "Morning Anchor" and a "Weekly Verdict"—forcing you to confront whether you actually shipped your top priority or just stayed busy.
How is FocusNinja different from a standard habit tracker or To-Do list?+
Most apps reward activity (checking boxes). FocusNinja rewards outcomes. It acts as a mirror, using AI to analyze your patterns and surface the specific reasons why your "off weeks" happen, so you can reproduce your "best weeks" consistently.
How does the AI Accountability Coach work?+
The AI doesn't just store your logs; it analyzes your weekly reviews to find correlations between your habits and your output. It asks the hard questions a human coach would, like "You've missed your Top 1 goal three Tuesdays in a row—what's the recurring blocker?"
Is my business data and goal tracking kept private?+
Yes. As part of the ZeroCrew ecosystem, FocusNinja follows a privacy-first philosophy. Your logs and reviews are your own, and we do not sell your productivity data or use it to train global models.
Can I use FocusNinja for a 15-minute Weekly Review?+
Yes. FocusNinja is designed to operationalize the "Founder Weekly Review." It prompts you for your Friday score, your wins, and your binary ship targets for the coming week, condensing a complex coaching session into 15 minutes.
Does it sync across my devices?+
FocusNinja is available on both iOS and macOS, ensuring your "Morning Anchor" is set on your phone and your "Deep Work" progress is tracked on your workstation.
Who is behind ZeroCrew and why was FocusNinja built?+
ZeroCrew is a studio founded by Vlad Stan, focused on building high-utility, privacy-first tools for founders and nomads. We build 'with zero employees' to prove that small, lean entities can ship world-class software by leveraging efficient systems and AI correctly.
How do the ZeroCrew apps work together?+
The ZeroCrew ecosystem is designed for the 'Sovereign Individual.' While DaysAround tracks your physical movement privately, FocusNinja ensures your mental output stays high. They share the same core DNA: no tracking, no cloud bloat, and maximum user autonomy.
