Inspiration
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to work, learn, and succeed in an environment that supports their needs. Having known many people with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia, we have seen firsthand how these conditions can affect someone's daily life and productivity. Our inspiration also came from a program at our high school called S.A.I.L., which is dedicated to helping students who need additional assistance with learning and completing their work. No matter how long it takes, S.A.I.L. helps students get their tasks done, and we wanted to bring those same ideas to LokkedIn.
What it does
It is a browser extension designed to make staying focused and organized easier. It includes helpful tools such as work and break timers, AI-powered tab recognition that identifies what tabs are work related to help users stay on task, and user made AI prompts that can support different workflows. Our goal is to encourage better productivity and give users more control over their work.
How we built it
Our goal was to create a simple and accessible extension that brings multiple productivity tools together in one place. We used html and CSS to create features that could help users manage their time and avoid distractions that may interrupt their work.
Challenges we ran into
One of the biggest challenges we faced was making sure our extension could support as many people with different challenges in the short time we have. We kind of had to cut back on some features but we hope to add more and scale up in the future.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud to have developed an idea inspired by something that made a real difference in our own high school experience. We wanted to take the helpful ideas behind S.A.I.L. and turn them into a tool that could reach more people and help them become more productive.
What we learned
Through this project, we learned how important accessibility is when designing productivity tools. Everyone works differently, and apps should be designed to support those differences rather than force everyone into the same workflow.
What's next for LokkedIn
Moving forward, we want to continue improving LokkedIn by expanding its features and making it even more accessible. We hope to create an extension that encourages better time management for all, no matter what challenges you may face.
