AGENDA

Project Description

Handling notifications has become our main job regardless of our title. If you work on a computer, you’re used to notifications from apps like Slack, Mail, Basecamp, Asana and many more. Our modern information overload began when email was introduced into the workplace. A direct line can be drawn from its introduction to managing notifications taking up most of our day, often even outside of work. That makes it difficult to focus - we aimed to fix that.

Problem

Modern work environments distract us from doing our best work through nonstop notifications and interruptions.

Insights

An average worker has an ever increasing number of apps and devices to check. Our researched showed that most knowledge workers at least had to check a project management app (Asana, Basecamp), an email app (Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook), and chat apps (Slack, Microsoft Teams) throughout a typical day.

Solutions

We created one place to check for anything important and take back control of our attention. A digital device that uses an accompanying cloud service, helps you keep just what’s important in front of you. And it allows you to create long periods of focused work which increases productivity and decreases stress (and long work hours).
