Lives on your desktop

You work.
He stays close.

Drag Stoiq to anywhere on your desktop. He stays small and quiet, keeps the work you chose in view, and watches over the focus block with you — without reading what you write.

Click Stoiq anytime to add new to-dos or track current ones.

01
You choose the guards.

Pick the apps and websites that tend to pull you away.

02
He stays out of the way.

Your current intention is always one glance away.

03
Then he disrupts the distraction.

Stoiq climbs in before the scroll and helps you choose: return or continue intentionally.

WHEN THE FEED PULLS YOU AWAY

Get pulled away.
Stoiq brings you back.

Open a site you chose to block and Stoiq interrupts the scroll before it eats the afternoon—then puts the exact next move you chose back in front of you.

You choose what gets blocked. Stoiq remembers what you meant to do.See how Stoiq blocks distractions

Stoiq on iPhone

Your focus block follows you.

  • 01The same live focus block
  • 02Apps and websites shielded on Mac and iOS.

Uses Apple Screen Time controls on iPhone. Included with every plan.

Step 01, out loud

Say it messy.
He hands it back sorted.

Press the mic and ramble. Stoiq sorts it into to-dos and hands them back one at a time. Nothing leaves your Mac or gets added without your say-so.

Stoiq for Mac and iOS · brain dump

1 · Say it. One long ramble is fine — the mic is right there under the box.
2 · He writes it down. On this Mac, while you talk — the clock counts against a three-minute cap.
3 · He hands it back sorted. Keep them one at a time or all at once. The ones he wasn’t sure about wait quietly below.
  1. You talk.
  2. He sorts.
  3. You keep what’s yours.

Behavioral psychology, made useful

Better focus starts
one decision earlier.

Stoiq is built on research-informed behavioral psychology. Instead of asking for more willpower, he shapes the small decisions around focused work—what you begin with, what happens when distraction appears, and what follows genuine progress.

  1. 01 / BEFOREIMPLEMENTATION INTENTIONS

    Decide how you’ll begin.

    Turn “work on it” into one physical next move before the timer starts.

  2. 02 / DURINGCHOICE ARCHITECTURE

    Make distraction a choice.

    A gentle pause interrupts the reflex without pretending every detour is wrong.

  3. 03 / AFTERPOSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

    Reward progress, not attendance.

    Focused work becomes something visible. Opening the app and maintaining a streak do not.

No shame. No broken streaks. No punishment for stepping away.

Private by design

He can’t read your screen.

No keystrokes, no screenshots, no reading your messages or pages. He only sees what you choose to share: the sites you shield and the work you tell him about.

Zero nagging

A nudge, not a parent.

Snooze him, change the plan, or ask for quiet — he listens. Getting distracted isn’t a failure; he just makes coming back easy.

No new productivity system.
No dashboard to babysit.

More finished work.
Less time wondering
where the day went.

Choose your companion

Same instincts.
Your kind of energy.

Stoiq launches first. Ember and Jimothy are coming soon. Each one shares the same instincts — plan with you, catch the scroll, and celebrate when you finish. The only difference is the vibe.
