Stride
Your focus companion that learns when you drift.
Overview
Most productivity tools respond only after you've already lost focus. What interested me was the period before someone loses focus.
That idea became Stride.
Predicts distraction. Protects your focus.
Stride checks in during your sessions and asks how you feel. Over time, it spots patterns like when you usually drift, what causes it, and what helps.
Short, calm messages
Sometimes a quick breathing exercise. Sometimes a stretch. Sometimes just a check-in. The more you use it, the more personalized they get.
Your Focus Fingerprint Premium
It gathers your patterns, habits, strengths, and challenges in one place, and helps you understand how you work best.
The Stride Agent
Get answers from your own sessions and drifts. Turn a deadline into focus blocks in your peak hours. Talk it through, then get back into your session.
Architecture
- Next.js + TypeScript: App Router, server and client components.

Design Decisions
The interface itself shouldn't become a distraction.
- Supportive Interventions. Encourage, never guilt.
- Intervene Before the Break. Prevention over reflection.
- Minimal Session Interface. Only what the current session needs.
- Straightforward Copy. Explain what each feature does, no marketing language.
