- Tessera 168 represents every hour of a week as a square users fill in as time passes.
Field notes
The studio organizes its products around deliberately narrow constraints rather than broad productivity features. Tessera 168 maps a week to 168 hourly squares, while the listed concepts use a single daily line, a shrinking date strip, and a 30-day habit vessel with a visible crack after a missed day. Ioniclabs states that data stays in a file on the phone and can be exported or deleted.
