Hey, If you are the author, the design details are not visible in the video (I am on my mac), I mean the details aren't visible. Maybe edit the video to zoom on the design when it starts generating for a few seconds?

Hey, thank you, for letting me know! We’ll look into it.

Hey! Thank you for your interest and comments!

Just a bit of background thinking.

The app named Introvert is a generative artwork aimed to help you stay off your phone. Right now we´re being asked to lead a sedentary life (for the sake of others and our own wellbeing). Only the mind is allowed to wonder.

I wish Introvert can help us lead a focused everyday where mindful practise will direct us to make the most of these strange days a head.

It’s rather experiment/art project then productivity app:)

Introvert is free and open source.

Please have a try, I would love to hear any feedback!

I don't think setting up a timer on the very device that is distracting you will significantly help you stay away from it, especially on psychological terms. I reckon it will make you dependent on your phone as well, but in a different sense.

In my opinion, the development of deeply-rooted discipline and self-control must primarily--even exclusively--come from one's will, at all times and at all levels, in order to be successful. Otherwise, what are you going to do if you cannot access the app for whatever reason? We need to aspire to have a firm will, not a straightened one (by whomever or whatever external).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks! We’ll figure out android soon.

Do you have something like a mailing list for when it is ready?

Just added form to the bottom of the website. Thanks for pointing out.

Oooh! I have long wanted something like this, something both compelling and soothing. When I've been doing something intense, it's hard for me to shift my mind into a lower gear; I often find myself back on Twitter or rummaging through the news. This seems like a great alternative. Edit: Oh no! IOS only!

I’ll added waiting list to the bottom of the webpage. Since it’s react native we probably can figure out android version quite fast.

I think what it means is not 'away from phone' but 'away from social media distractions'. Hence the name. But yeah, you shouldn't need an app to take you away from other apps. You could just turn off those apps.
