Final Project


The Focus-Inator


Your personal assistant to get stuff done!

The Focus-Inator comes with an OLED display for a Pomodoro timer, 8 buttons to control different settings, a speaker, amplifier, microphone, and pressure sensor to keep your phone out of your hand. Component systems include:

  • A Pomodoro timer that can be set in 15 minute increments. The timer has multiple settings, for normal work time and deep focus mode (which prevents you from using your phone).
  • Speaker for the timer alarm (with amplifier) and for making annoying noises when you pick up your phone during work (before the pomodoro timer has finished).
  • Batteries + on/off switch to keep the device working without your computer.
  • Pressure sensor in a drawer: put your phone on top when you're working, and if you pick it up, the machine will start beeping until you put it back.
  • Microphone for recording random thoughts and voice commands.
  • Eight buttons for controlling the Pomodoro timer, changing the device mode, etc.
