01
Overwhelm → clear next step
Plan in seconds.
Dump everything on him — assignments, deadlines, the chaos. He turns it into a plan with one clear next step, so starting stops being the hard part.
MeetStoiq.
The tiny focus companion
who lives on your Mac desktop
and helps you lock in.
He plans work with you, runs focus blocks, and nudges you back when the feeds pull you in — more done, less doomscrolling, and none of the guilt.

What he’s for
Less chaos.
More done.
He plans work with you, holds your focus blocks, and pulls you back when the feed grabs you.
02
Start → locked in
Lock in with focus blocks.
Start a block and he keeps you company while you work — quiet, one glance away, making sure the hour goes where you meant it to.
03
Drift → gentle redirect
Stop losing hours.
Drift onto X or YouTube and he catches it in seconds, bringing you right back to what you were doing — no lost hour, no guilt.
Step 01, out loud
Say it messy.
He hands it back sorted.
Step one has a shortcut: your voice. Press the mic and ramble — half sentences, tangents, the thing you keep forgetting — and he writes it down on your Mac, cuts it into separate to-dos, and hands them back one at a time. Nothing leaves the machine, and nothing becomes a to-do until you say so.

Lose the tab. Not the afternoon.

Stoiq on iPhone
The screen you
actually reach for.
Everything above happens on your Mac. Then the phone comes out of your pocket — and that is where the feeds really live. Stoiq is on that screen too: running the block, catching the app you opened without deciding to, and taking the whole brain dump out loud.
- Set up once, in Shortcuts
- A pause, not a wall — Screen Time blocking isn’t there yet
- Comes with Stoiq, at no extra cost
Your Mac’s list comes over in a file you carry across. Nothing goes to a server, and there is no account in the middle.
Lives on your desktop
Company you
actually want around.
Stoiq stays small at the edge of your screen while you work. He wanders by occasionally, reacts to you, and only steps in when a nudge can save the time you meant to protect.
Always one glance awayQuiet while you’re movingClick Stoiq to plan a new task
He walks. He notices. He knows when to be quiet.
New in the beta
Your focus grows
an exotic garden.
While you focus, Stoiq slips away on adventures to far-off places — and comes back with what he found there. A fern from a cloud forest. A monstera he won’t explain. Place them anywhere on your desktop; they grow as long as you do.
Every plant remembers where it came from.
He plants it after your very first session. Put it wherever you like on the desktop — a month away just means more of it waiting for you.
Mostly plants. Sometimes it’s something else entirely.

everything he brings back is yours forever.
It only ever grows.
Nothing wilts. Nothing resets. Nothing is ever taken away.
Quiet by default
Helpful when needed.
Invisible when not.
When you’re making progress, he gets quiet. When you lose your place, he can nudge, wave, climb onto the screen, or simply hold your next step until you’re ready.

Driftingone useful nudge
Finishedhe celebrates, saves your spot, you log off guilt-free
He walks in, then climbs up beside your work.
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.
Pick the face you want in your corner. All three do the same job — plan with you, catch the scroll, and celebrate when you finish. The only difference is the vibe.
