Jambu, public beta 0.1.0 — a little companion for your workday, with gentle check-ins when you need them
Care, not surveillance · Public beta

Focus that
takes care
of you.

Jambu learns the shape of your workday from context alone — how long you've been going, when you stopped — and offers a gentle care moment when a pause would genuinely help.

No full URLs. No page content. Export it or delete it whenever you like.

Care moment

Afternoon focus

Active session · 2h 24m

After 2h 24m of continuous work, your rhythm usually dips here. A five-minute stretch would feel good — just a gentle nudge.

The problem

Tools track everything. Context is the part nobody has.

Time trackers log every tab. Focus apps count every keystroke. Then they hand you a dashboard of hours and leave you to work out what it meant — more data about your day, and still no one noticing that you've been at the same screen for four hours.

Jambu goes the other way. It watches almost nothing, and asks what that little tells it about your rhythm.

What a typical tracker keeps

  • Every URL you visit
  • Page titles and content
  • Keystrokes and clipboard
  • Screenshots of your screen
  • App-by-app activity logs

None of it tells you why you're still at the desk. That's the part worth knowing.

How Jambu works

It observes context, then cares — quietly.

01

Observe

Active sessions, inactivity, and session length — signals only. Nothing you type or read is seen.

02

Understand

Over days, Jambu maps your real rhythm — when you focus, when you stall, when you're done.

03

Care

A timely, minimal nudge — a stretch, a break, or a quiet “you're done for now.” No guilt, ever.

A typical workday

Three moments, start to finish

Tall bars are sessions, flat ones are idle time. No page, no title, no text.

Observed

notes.example active since 09:04 · no idle since you started

Understood

Your weekday deep-work window opens around 09:00. You're in it.

Care

Nothing. No nudge is the right care moment here — Jambu stays quiet.

Never stored: the document title, the words you typed, the tab you were just on.

Care Moments

Interventions, timed to your day.

Gentle, dismissible, and always yours to snooze or silence.

The long focus

After 90 minutes of deep work, Jambu suggests a short reset so your focus stays sharp.

Why now
92 minutes of continuous session

The quiet stop

When your evening routine signals it's time to wind down, it offers a soft close — not an alarm.

Why now
Your usual close time, three days running

The drift check

Long inactivity at your desk? A friendly “stretch, breathe, come back” — nothing more.

Why now
11 minutes away from an open session

Hover or focus a card to see the single signal behind it. That's all Jambu works from.

Patterns, over time

It learns your week, not your words.

Give it a fortnight and Jambu starts to see the shape of your days — the 9:30 block that always works, the Tuesday evenings that run too late, the Sunday that stays quiet.

Nothing about that map is fixed. Every pattern it forms is one you can pause, correct, or erase, and none of it is built from what you were looking at.

Your data, your call

Take a copy of everything Jambu holds, or ask it to forget. Both happen in one tap, and both are final.

A plain JSON file — preferences and pattern summaries. Nothing else, because there is nothing else.

Deleting is immediate and permanent — no “we might keep a copy for 30 days”.

In the app

A quiet surface, not a dashboard.

No streaks, no league tables, no red numbers asking for an explanation. One calm view of where your day is going, and the two buttons that matter.

A care moment, exactly as it appears.

Right now

You've worked steadily for a full block. A short pause is coming — no action needed.

Nothing here is a record

  • No page you opened
  • No task you were doing
  • No name of anything you typed

The whole view is built from time, not content.
