Love the “Oura ring for work” explanation. Good luck with the launch!
Yamato Kaneko
@zot Glad you like the copy! Before Oura Ring, sleep was hard to quantify. Before Undesk, productivity was hard to quantify. That's the vision!

Undesk looks like a curious and fun way to track personal productivity 🪀 I'm very interested to see how this tool develops, especially for agencies. Congrats on the launch! 🥂
Yamato Kaneko
@olive_haus Agencies tend to have multiple projects going on. The team tends to work on completely different things. As a result, there can be a lack of a sense of side-by-side collaboration. Undesk is carefully designed to improve the experience of working in single player mode. Even when you are quietly focused on your deadline, you can see other avatars in action and active applications changing. It's a completely different experience than just seeing Slack's green dot 🟢

@yamatokaneko Congrats on the launch (a little late to the party I know) But it looks like the team crushed it without any support from my side haha! I am checking out the product now. Love the UI and I love the idea behind it as well. Quick question - what size if team do you find this to be most effective with? I presume it would work for all sizes but what would the optimal use case look like?
Yamato Kaneko
@dzaitzow Having observed about 100 teams through user testing, I would say 10-30 is the perfect size. With lots of people in action, you can feel the energy of the office as soon as you open the window. But interestingly, there are a lot of solo users who use Undesk just for the productivity tracker. We are just a team of two. But there is no way we could have done this launch without Undesk. So I really want to recommend it to teams of all sizes!

@yamatokaneko Love it - I appreciate that answer VS the party line of (It is amazing for teams of all sizes) - of course I presume it WOULD be amazing for teams of all sizes - but it's nice to know where you see it being most effective.

Looks great! How do you calculate productivity @yamatokaneko
Yamato Kaneko
@cem_ozcelik Thanks for asking! I used this explanation in another thread, but I want to rephrase it here to make it easy 😁 We calculate the score in 3 steps. 1. We first categorize each whitelisted app into Deep work (dev, design, documentation etc) and Shallow work (messaging, calendar, meetings etc). 2. When you actively use Deep work apps for a certain threshold of time, you enter Flow state. 3. When you are in Flow state, you earn Productivity Score more efficiently. There are more specific rules, but these are the basics. We've spent a lot of time dogfooding internally and with beta users. The score we've calculated is pretty close to how we felt about our self-assessed focus quality. But we are just getting started and want to add more factors to make it more accurate. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Looks like a very necessary application, especially for remote teams. In our team, we are not only in different countries but also on different continents, so we need to try integrating it into our work processes.
Yamato Kaneko
@julia_demyanchuk Yes, integrating Undesk into your work could be a game changer for collaboration and productivity. If you need any help or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
