monologue

• 

  Music player and background slideshow

• 

  Aggregated messages

Inspiration

• GSoft Challenge (Pomodoro)
• Shutterstock API (Search)
• SunLife (Burnout)
• Octave (Music Player)
• Telus (Mental Health)

What it does

• Pomodoro timed messages
• Aggregate priority messages so when the pomodoro timer is up, you get all the important messages you've missed in one spot
• While pomodoro in effect, a music player and slideshow overlay the app to prevent distractions from notifications
• Reduce workplace burnout through music and employee feels less overwhelmed not having to constantly stop their current task to check messages
• Prevents nonproductive behavior and distractions caused by constantly checking messages as they're posted
