Show HN: In The Zone – An app to boost productivity and fight interruptions

The Zone is the state where you are completely focused and fully productive. It takes time to get there, but the slightest distraction can knock you out of it and you have to start over.

So I built this app to track productivity and measure the impact of interruptions.

This is how it can help:

• Launching the app and starting to get in the Zone is a commitment to work. It can prevent you from procrastinating and is a good motivator to actually start working and to keep distractions away.

• The timer can help you decide if it’s a good time to take a pause because you’ve been in the Zone for a long period, or if it is better to continue working because you’ve just entered the Zone.

• Your colleagues will notice the color change from yellow to red. This is a great signal that helps them understand the impact of interruptions on your productivity.

• Statistics help you measure your daily productive time.

• Using your phone for other purposes is considered an interruption by the app, so that’s already one distraction taken care of.
