Live scenes

A room that keeps time with you.

Start a block and the room moves with it. At 0:00 the work is visibly done, and on your break it rests. Nothing counts points, nothing nags.

Snow settles on a cabin ledge, a washer dial fills, a lighthouse logbook gains a line.

How it works

Three steps, and you are working.

  1. The environment picker open on the desk, showing live scenes01

    Pick a room

    A Kerala courtyard in the rain, a Calcutta window, a cabin in the snow. The sound and the light change with it.

  2. A rainy courtyard desk with one task named for the next session02

    Name one thing

    One task, not a list. The desk keeps it in view, so the next few minutes have a point.

  3. Focus mode in the snowed-in cabin, with the timer running03

    Start the timer

    Twenty-five minutes, or whatever suits you. Focus mode clears everything else away.
