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.
Early Kiki user here. I’m usually pretty good about staying on task, but on hectic days when I need to lock in on deep work (e.g. a budget or a strategy doc) Kiki’s become my go-to work buddy. Would love it if there were a few more “angry” animations besides fire and the light switch. Also, nice bonus I didn't expect – my kids love Kiki!

I've been testing Kiki for a few months and she's become my little companion buddy when I do hard, annoying, work that makes me easily distracted. Especially for writing and thinking tasks, Kiki helps me avoid seemingly "productive" work that's really just busy-work keeping me from doing important things.
Huge congrats on the launch!!!! I was just talking about wanting to use YouTube purely as a learning tool while blocking everything else, and this works incredibly well. Being able to whitelist specific channels and cut out the rest made it so much easier to focus.
This is playful, but it’s also doing some powerful system-level things.
How are you thinking about user trust and permissions, especially around accessibility and system control?
Are there plans to add project tags or a task list that you can work towards?
I’ve been using Kiki over the past couple months. It’s been been great for tracking my time and seeing where my hours are going. Excited to keep using Kiki and see how it evolves!

@zahran_dabbagh Thanks! That kind of task based work is exactly how i need to focus to get things done...like working on making Kiki!
@blankensmith What are the key features that make Kiki different from traditional focus or productivity apps?
