What are huecards and focus on ehzie?
Updated
huecards and focus are two apps listed on ehzie that are not yet live. huecards is marked "In Development" and is described as a way to send a digital greeting card to brighten someone's day. focus is marked "Concept" and is described as a minimal timer that tracks your focus over time, saving sessions locally so you can build a 30-day heatmap of focused time. If you are looking for an app you can use today, neither of these is available yet — the page notes "More coming soon" for both.
huecards: digital greeting cards
According to the ehzie page, huecards is intended for one simple purpose: "Brighten someone's day. Send a digital greeting card."
What the page confirms:
- Status: In Development
- Function: sending a digital greeting card
- Intended effect: brightening the recipient's day
What the page does not state: how cards are designed, whether they are free, whether an account is required, or when it will launch. Treat those as open questions rather than assumptions.
Who it might suit
If your goal is a lightweight way to send someone a short, visual message — a thank-you, a birthday note, an encouragement — huecards is the app on this list aimed at that. Since it is still in development, you cannot use it yet; the practical move is to check back on ehzie later rather than plan around it now.
focus: a minimal focus timer with a heatmap
The focus app is described as "Ready, set, focus. A minimal timer that tracks your focus over time." Two details stand out:
- Sessions save locally, so your focus history stays on your device rather than in an account.
- That local history builds into a 30-day heatmap of your focused time.
So the core loop is: start a timer, complete a focus session, and let the saved sessions accumulate into a visual record of the last 30 days. The heatmap is the payoff — it turns individual sessions into a pattern you can see.
What "minimal" and "local" mean in practice
- Minimal: the description emphasizes a timer and tracking, not task lists, project management, or collaboration features.
- Local: because sessions save locally, the heatmap depends on the same device and browser retaining that data. Clearing site data or switching devices would, by that design, break the continuity of the heatmap. The page does not mention syncing or accounts.
Status and availability
focus is listed as "Concept," which is earlier than huecards' "In Development." The page also says "More coming soon." Neither app is presented as live, so there is no released version to install or test yet.

How this fits with the rest of ehzie
ehzie groups its apps under themes including creativity, faith, humor, and work, and describes them as "apps for your inner and outer work." The live apps on the page are daybreak (Bible reading with streaks and badges), verses (finding Bible verses by feeling or need), and punchline (a daily joke feed). huecards and focus sit alongside those as upcoming additions — huecards leaning toward the "outer work" of connecting with others, and focus toward the "inner work" of attention and discipline.
If you want something usable right now, the live apps are where to look. If huecards or focus is what drew you in, the honest answer is that both are still in the pipeline, and the page's "More coming soon" is the only timing signal given.
