The Problem

We have tools to track our steps, our sleep, our screen time — but nothing tells us when we've slipped out of focus or how long we've been stuck there. Young professionals don't lose their days to laziness; they lose them to invisible mental drift and hours spent in the wrong cognitive state, with no signal that anything is wrong.

The Solution

FLUX makes chronoception — the human sense of time — legible for the first time. By pairing a minimalist wristband with an intelligent app, we translate physiological data into a real-time cognitive state signal, bridging the gap between perceived time and objective reality.

Who FLUX Is For

Young professionals, 22–35

High-functioning, digitally native knowledge workers who feel their focus slipping but have no way to see where the time actually went.

The neurodivergent core

Adults with ADHD lose 51% of their work time to distraction, nearly double the 25% lost by neurotypical peers — the sharpest edge of the problem FLUX was built to address.

How It Works

1. Detect

Track nervous system patterns to identify Flow, Drift, or Stress states in real time.

2. Alert

Gentle tactile and LED nudges when your state misaligns with your intention.

3. Align

Review weekly insights to actively rebuild your chronoception over time.

Key Insights

1 hour lost to distraction daily

per US knowledge worker — the baseline cost this project set out to address.

23 minutes to regain focus

after a single interruption, according to attention-research benchmarks.

51% of work time lost

by adults with ADHD, versus 25% for neurotypical peers — the sharpest edge of the problem.
