I’ve been looking for projects that let me disconnect a little from my phone. One of the major things that gets me is needing to look at meetings or other upcoming content that then spirals into me checking social media.

This seems like a great way to keep things like my cal, server notifications, and reminders in one place. Maybe even using an AI summarization so I could include some other content like a german word to work on each day.

Pros

• No wiring, 3-6 months battery life
• Low distraction
• Looks easy to develop for
• Simple, can be updated from your phone
• Seems well thought out from the product to the backend
• No subscription
• Can run your own webserver for the backend

Cons

• Pretty early on, and a small company so support might end up dying
• One more gadget to support
• Time to develop solutions and work on the integration

As with all other tech, my worry is that the integration time will outweigh the time it saves. But also you’re learning something new so we’ll see.
