Context-Aware Digital Distraction Blocker for Knowledge Workers
C5/10April 27, 2026
WhatA system-level tool that detects when a user is in deep work versus idle/waiting and dynamically manages screen access, enforcing single-screen focus during work and allowing browsing only during genuine downtime.
SignalMultiple people describe knowing exactly what helps them focus — single monitors, phones put away, no extra screens — but consistently failing to maintain the discipline, especially during natural downtime like waiting rooms where they default to mindless browsing.
