Field notes
The product is organized around a single visible task, a 25-minute session, and a companion that occupies the Mac notch rather than a conventional dashboard. The page shows mood states, cursor-following behavior, weekly drag-and-drop planning, and a timer that is said to continue after quitting the app. Apple Reminders and Calendar synchronization are also described, while broader device support remains forthcoming.
