Tiempo helps you stay focused on your goals while browsing the web. Set a goal at the start of your session and Tiempo will assess the relevance of each page you visit. Non-relevant pages trigger a reminder to keep you on track.
Who?
This tool is for anyone that periodically finds themselves forgetting what they were trying to accomplish while online. The tool was built by Victor and Vlad, two ex-founders and ex-Facebookers who want to improve how people interact with their devices.
What?
This is an early prototype of a bigger idea we have regarding how AI can be used to shape focus and productivity.
Why?
Time and attention is precious. We've noticed that existing tools (timers and blockers) are not up to the scale of the challenge. By using AI to understand your goals, behaviors, and motivational preferences, we can build tools that permanently improve focus and productivity. We launched this prototype for feedback so please don't hold back!
Where?
We started on Chrome as a fast and flexible environment for iteration. Many people have requested an iOS and Android version, so we will build there next.
When?
Try it out right now and let us know what you think!
Cool mvp. I definitely see opportunity to analyze my patterns and give me metrics on my behavior to reflect on it later in addition to the realtime nudges.
Tiempo has solid value! I'm appreciating the basic UI. The simpler the better for focus tools. Looking forward to how you'll expand!
I’m excited to see where you take this as you build it out! I think there are so many untapped opportunities using LLMs to better productivity. I like that you started with a browser plug-in, and can imagine even more powerful versions of this that pair with you throughout the day in a similar way.
This is an amazing MVP. I have been looking for this kind of app for a while now. How do you ensure data safety? Are you working with screenshots?
Congrats on the launch. My biggest pieces of feedback would be considering less intrusive nudges to get back on task and analytics on time spent.
Love the simple ui and how fast it was to get started!
It seems everyone has difficulties focusing on the goals with so many distractions. Tiempo can surely help on that.
Congrats on the launch!
The biggest problem with screen time trackers are that the line between work and distractions is so thin! I use Twitter for marketing, but I also get distracted on it and waste hours when I should be working. So I was excited to get access to the demo and try it out.
I have similar feedback to others - I want to see metrics on time distracted vs working. And if it can tell between productive Twitter and not productive Twitter and reflect that - that would help a ton.
I'm not a fan of the in-your-face nudges when I'm off task. I tend to ignore them. I'd much rather let myself be distracted in the moment, but review and reflect on that time later and try to be better next time.
This is a great way of using AI to get around the limitations of existing productivity apps. In my experience, most of these products don't work because my work often involves using the exact products that these tools block (e.g. finding answers on Reddit, watching tutorials on YouTube, etc).
I love the idea for individuals that have jobs/projects with focused initiatives. Some roles require jumping around (ex: shifting attention to answering a time-sensitive client question) with limited access to blocks of dedicated web time.
Tiempo is so cool! Some random thoughts here: maybe we could utilize some techs from Pomodoro Timer here. For example, set a 5 mins break by default after each session for users to take a break and relax.
Very excited about Tiempo! I want this to be integrated with my phone! Hopefully soon
Great application for AI. The more you use it the better it gets. Already sharing it with friends who struggle to stay focused when working remote.
Would love to use a tool like this! So many use cases for consumers and enterprises!
Extremely necessary nowadays! Specially for me, as a student, will help me to stay focused and be more productive. Great job!
Tiempo keeps me on track when I need to focus! The built-in AI does an excellent job of identifying when I am distracted, and nudging me back to what I need to work on.
