Remote workers struggle to stay focused amidst constant distractions, chasing productivity hacks and focus timers. A minimalist app would display a subtle on-screen notch showing time blocks, progress, and gentle nudges when attention drifts. Companies might sponsor enterprise versions for employee wellness programs. Start with a single timer mode and basic notifications. Risk: competing with established focus apps already dominating the space.
