NFC PROJECT / RESEARCH · PROTOTYPING
Scroll to make the decisionA new product in development by Zynvrae.
Decide what matters. Let everything else step aside.
You usually already know what you want to do. NFC Project turns intention into a physical commitment—and explores how the digital environment could follow that decision.Choose the one thing that matters now.
Make the decision real.
Once you decide, your environment follows.
THE PROBLEM IS DRIFT
Your phone isn't the problem. You only meant to check one thing.
You need YouTube to learn, Instagram to work, ChatGPT to research, and Messages to communicate. The same device also contains everything waiting to pull you somewhere else.

A DIFFERENT QUESTION
Don't just block apps. Block drift.
Most focus tools begin with a block list. We begin with intention: not what you cannot use, but what your environment should understand you are trying to do.

TURN → PRESS → COMMIT
A choice with measure. A press with weight. A start with a clear state.
Turn the dial to choose a task and duration, then press to enter committed mode. The companion app mirrors the next step. This is a concept interaction, not final hardware or a promised outcome.

Five minutes later, you may want something else.
That's exactly the point.
You made the decision before temptation arrived. Changing it should remain possible—just not completely unconscious. The goal is not to trap you. It is to give the decision enough distance.
Concept vision
One intention. One environment.
Your devices know what you can open. In the future, they should also understand what you are trying to do. This is a concept vision, not a claim of current cross-device support.
INTENTDeep Work
Keep the important thing visible.
- No dashboard.
- No feed.
- No productivity theatre.
- Just the thing you chose to do.
Concept exploration
And if you drift, come back faster.
Do not start over. Return to the task, tools, and working context you just left. This is an experience we are exploring, not a currently shipping feature.

I decide where my attention goes.
Made to stay on your desk.
Not another icon you will forget exists. A quiet physical interface that remains present without demanding attention.
We're still building it.
The product is still in development. We are testing whether physical commitment creates enough real-world value to remain useful—not disappear into a drawer after a week.

What we need to learn: would this actually change what you do next?
CURRENT STAGE
Help decide what we build.
About 3–5 minutes. We are studying how people actually get distracted, what they have tried, and where existing tools still fail. Your answers influence what we build, change, or remove.
Register for Early Access
When the product is ready to test, we will invite a small group into early and longer-term trials.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy it now?
Not yet. The product is still in research and prototyping.
Will it block apps?
App restrictions are one mechanism under study. The final approach depends on research and testing.
Why a physical object?
We are testing whether physical interaction can create a clearer link between intention and starting.
Will it support phones and computers?
Cross-device interaction is part of the product vision. Actual platforms and capabilities will be confirmed later.
When will it launch?
There is no confirmed launch date. Research, prototyping, and real-world testing come first.
