The problem
Students, professionals and remote workers lose focus among tasks, notifications and social networks. Tasks scatter across apps and reminders slip, so important work is delayed despite a busy day.
- Tasks scatter across different apps
- Reminders quickly slip out of attention
- Important work is delayed
- Busy all day, but without the result
The solution
App and monitor-mounted device in one ecosystem: current task, focus timer, reminders and habits always in view, with visual and audio nudges to start and finish work. In Uzbek, Russian and English.
- Device - Mounted next to the monitor
- Focus timer - Shows the current work status
- Reminders - Always in view, no phone needed
- Habits - Daily recurring tasks
