Enoki

(Inspiration: the Forest app, but add hardware to make it a physical companion, more fun, and with more technologies!)

Humans are quite poor at self-assessment — we confuse intention with reality, overestimate effort, and misremember focus. Existing productivity tools remain trapped on screens, competing for the same attention they're trying to protect.

Over 35 million Americans work desk jobs, and that number continues to grow. People sit still for hours, often alone. Burnout and lost flow are common to the modern worker. They don't need notifications, but connection.

Enoki reimagines productivity as a living, breathing experience. A multi-material 3D-printed mushroom sits on your desk, its cap and stem animated by servos — a physical mirror of your focus in real time. Work solo, or connect with others to form Groves (small study groups where every mushroom reflects the whole group's energy).

Beneath the organic exterior lives a full sensing and inference pipeline: computer vision for focus detection, on-device edge ML for behavioral classification, and AI as a continuous reasoning layer that learns your rhythms, anticipates your slumps, and reflects them back.

The result is a new kind of human-computer interface — joyful, ambient, and alive. Enoki doesn't notify. It grows and flourishes with you.
