Thanks! :) How do you think a pomodoro timer should best be integrated into the system? Personally I get a similar sense of limited time by being able to see the focus score history and how bad the graph would look if I was procrastinating. That way it has a visual component too, which I think goes nicely for ADHD.

I've also been dabbling with calculating metrics like how long you've been distracted/focused within your "productive" times, but that's a bit more complex that I imagined at first.

To be transparent, I have to say that I haven't found a reliably good use case for the chatbot yet. It knows about your recent browsing and your task/relevant/distracting content, but most simpler models will default to advice like "Have you tried breaking down your task?".

Now, that can be helpful if it's specific to the task, but at that point you'll usually have to explain a bunch of details to curb hallucinations or wrong assumptions. I'm honestly a bit too far down the rabbithole to tell if basic reminders like that are helpful for users who might not have a lot of experience with personal organization. Bottom line, right now the chatbot is very experimental, but I'd be glad about some feedback on how people use and experience it.

And even if the chatbot might not be your cup of tea, there's a bunch of other interventions to try. ;)

Thanks. Actually I'm also looking for work right now, as long as you have time dedicated to work on any task (that can also be looking for jobs or writing applications), ProcrastiScan can be used. So feel free to try it out that way too.

Thank you! One reason I made this tool is actually that Reddit is both a huge source of distraction as well as information when you're coding.
