How it works.

Using the screen, the camera and the window titles.

  1. The screen

    Known distractions and study tools are recognised from the app and window title alone. Otherwise a screenshot is read by an AI model on your computer, which judges what's on screen: a YouTube lecture counts as study, YouTube Shorts don't.

  2. The webcam

    Every second, an on-device vision model checks that you're there and looks for a phone. You are marked as distracted if you have your phone at hand or marked away if you are away.

Green means the screen looks like study.

Privacy.

Everything runs on your device using on-device AI models.

  1. Nothing is saved

    Screenshots and camera frames only exist in memory while they're analysed, then they're discarded. They're never written to disk.

  2. Analysis is offline

    A study session is analysed completely offline using a local AI model on your device, so your screen and camera never reach the internet.

  3. Storage

    Only the analysis of what you did during your study session is stored on your device. No screenshots, camera frames, or even window titles are stored.

  4. Stats only

    Only your score and its breakdown is shared when you choose to share your session.

Friends.

Post your score. Let your friends keep you accountable.
