CA-T Traps Your Phone Like a Cassette Tape So You Can Actually Focus - Yanko Design
"The CA-T device treats the smartphone as a tool for focus rather than a source of distraction, requiring it to be inserted to activate the study session."
"The circular display visualizes the accumulation of focus, showing a rotating reel graphic that represents how much focus has been built up during the session."
"The session progresses through four states: Ready prompts phone insertion, Focus runs the timer, Comment provides minimal encouragement, and Complete shows the accumulated result."
"The design keeps physical controls sparse, featuring a prominent blue button, two secondary white buttons, a volume slider, and a headphone jack."
