look, we both know how this goes. you sit down to work. you check one thing. then it's been 40 minutes and you're watching a guy restore a rusty knife on youtube. 〰〰 kiki lives on your mac and helps you actually finish the things you start. choose your focus. pick your apps. hit start. kiki works alongside you, typing away in the corner. 〰〰 get distracted and kiki has opinions. flips your lights. sets things on fire. focus and you might just finish that project you've been avoiding.

I love the chaos energy, but I'm curious about the long-term stickiness. Apps like Desktop Goose are fun for 10 minutes but get annoying fast. Does Kiki have a "serious mode" where the visuals are toned down but the blocking remains, or is the visual noise the whole point?

@tony_hsieh2 Totally. I often use Kiki in timer-only mode. It tracks how you're spending time without getting angry. Watching my focus meter fill up and seeing day-after-day progress on the calendar is really rewarding (or surprising when I realize how little I've actually focused). I've reached a point where I don't like working without Kiki running.
It is so cute!!
I'm curious how i can add apps or websites if i don't finish previous jobs.
And i'd like you to support Comet browser.

@highlightyourproduct Thank you! If you're mid-session, you can always add an app or site through the timer hover options (or stop a session and create new settings). Kiki will grumble but allow it. And noted on Comet browser support. We'll look into it.
OMG this is amazing! I love the idea of Kiki typing away and roasting me when I get distracted. Does it integrate with Pomodoro timers for even deeper focus sessions?
Kiki for Mac
@jaydev13 Yep! It has a built in pomodoro timer.
Congrats on the launch! I'd love to use it! Question: it runs offline/locally, doesn't it? Why don't you guys offer a pay-once/lifetime purchase option as well?
Kiki for Mac
@nzsalamon Hey Nestor, thanks! Yep, it runs locally and works offline. You're one step ahead of us. We're planning to add a one-time purchase option soon. Hope you give Kiki a try!
Very cool! I deal with this by closing unnecessary apps and turning off my phone. But from time to time I still unconsciously open Facebook or YouTube, which I don’t need… You have a great idea, I like it!

@mykyta_semenov_ Hey, you won a year of Kiki. Message us on Instagram @kiki.computer and we'll send you a code. That unconscious drift to Facebook and YouTube is exactly why Kiki exists.

Have had the chance to test and use this for a few months
I’m a lifelong focus seeker (often a failure). I have physical world hacks, a hexagonal clock that splits hours a bunch of different ways, the way I arrange my desk, even how I arrange myself near portals of distraction (aka windows).
I use kiki every day, it works 2 ways for me, mindfulness, when I’m ready to get to it, it helps (forces me, it a good way) to think about what I need. And then it pulls me back. I always slide, and kiki keeps me on it for 20 min or an hour or..... .
Kiki isn't subtle, which is amazing.
One more thing. You will get immediate action from the Kiki team, incredibly responsive to feedback.

@anthony123345 Kiki has a built-in pomodoro timer! You can choose how long you want to focus for and it'll automatically remind you to take a break between sessions.
