Philosophy

Friction as Feature

Modern devices optimize for frictionlessness—one tap equals infinite distraction. This device inverts that assumption: intentional barriers force conscious choice.

Every mode change requires complete disassembly, battery removal, using your unique tool, flipping physical DIP switches, and waiting 15 minutes for the mode to load. The ritual is the point.

Not A Product

This is a commissioned instrument, handcrafted in limited batches. We build 5-10 devices per month, each unique to its owner. You're not buying convenience—you're buying the infrastructure that makes intentional practice possible.

Mutual Exhaustion

After 4 hours of use, the device and user both tire together. The LED fades from 100% to 0%, and the device enters graceful degradation—slow, laggy, honest. This is biological reality, not infinite availability.
