Hyperchill.io is a Digital Productivity Journal that documents your deep work time. In an age where distraction is ever present, Hyperchill.io encourages intentionality with your time and attention, allowing you to track deep work time in a free-flowing manner along with distractions that invariably occur along the way. This method, paired with a comprehensive stats dashboard, provides a more flexible approach to improving your work habits over time. Also, this tool is completely free.
Hello friends,
I’m Grant, founder of Hyperchill.io.
In the initial spec I wrote years ago, I remember describing the mixed feelings I had with the current time tracking apps available on the web, most of which utilize a timer-based structure where the time counts down in a fixed interval, rather than a stopwatch-based structure with free-flowing time.
Eventually, I came to realize that the primary value provided by these apps wasn't necessarily the timer counting down or the corresponding "time pressure" it caused, but rather the general dichotomous structure they enforced, where you're either in "work mode" or "break mode", which forced you to reconcile your intentions with reality.
I wanted Hyperchill.io to inherit this core structure, while also providing the flexibility to work unconstrained by set intervals. Why, you might ask? Life is unpredictable. Some days, we can work uninterrupted for hours on end. Other days, not so much. I wanted Hyperchill.io to account for this and emphasize documentation of the deep work experience in discrete sessions that can be submitted and analyzed later.
This radically shifts the goal from “let’s force myself to work for 25 minutes uninterrupted” to “let me work for as long as I feel I’m able to and then assess my productivity afterwards.”
With respect to the latter goal, Hyperchill.io provides helpful charts of various dimensions of the work experience, which allows you to make conceptual connections between your habits (documented in Notes Feature), and the data which includes, among others:
Total Deep Work Time (can be adjusted for focus quality)
Focus Quality (derived from the number of distractions experienced)
Average Interval Time
Percent Time in Deep Work
How your focus changes throughout the 24 hours of the day (advanced charts)
Lastly, this tool is completely free. My goal is to attract beta users and see where we go from here. It’s been a blast to make this and I’m looking forward to getting more feedback. Thank you!
