hi. i’m stoiq. pick something to finish — i’ll sit with you.
He walks in along the bottom of your screen and waits to be told what the hour is for.
Interactive product demo · no download
Try the rescue.
Then meet the rest of Stoiq.
Start with a focus block on a Mac desktop staged in your browser. Then watch real character actions, explore the plants you can own, step into Wildlight Garden, and see how the same block reaches iPhone.
00:15sped up · a real block is 25 min
okay. the essay intro. i’ll be right here.
You pick one thing. He starts the block and goes quiet — 25 minutes, one glance away.
you were on the essay intro. want me to take you back?
The feed arrives the way it always does. He climbs up over it and asks — he never just closes your tab.
that’s the block. you finished it.
“take me back” puts the work back in front of you. “two more minutes” is a real answer too — he waits, then quietly holds the line until the block is done.
i found this while you were working. it’s yours.
Every finished block leaves something behind on your desktop. It keeps growing for as long as you do.
What the interactive demo proves
One useful loop—not a collection of disconnected tools.
Stoiq keeps the task, the distraction protection, the return path, and the reward tied to the same focus block.
Choose the work.
Name one task and the next action before the timer starts.
Protect the block.
Select the apps and websites you want blocked on Mac and iPhone.
Return without rebuilding.
If you drift, Stoiq puts your task and a clear route back in front of you.
Keep what you earned.
Focused minutes become Pinecones, plant growth, and a collection that never decays.
Stoiq in action
He lives on your desktop. He doesn’t just decorate it.
These are captured Stoiq product moments. Press play on any card. Some appear when they are useful; others are rare, user-triggered performances. Only the clip you choose plays.
01FOCUS RECOVERY
Climb into the scroll
Stoiq enters a distracting Short, reminds you what you were doing, and offers a clear route back.
02GENTLE CHECK-IN
Catch the feed
A smaller interruption checks in beside the feed without pretending every open tab is a mistake.
03DESKTOP ACTION
Water a desktop plant
He crosses the desktop, tends the plant, and returns to his quiet resting place.
04MORNING MOMENT
Start the morning quietly
A finite morning coffee performance makes him feel alive without turning him into another notification.
05BLOCKING ACTION
Block with a magic wand
A user-selected blocking action turns the browser wall into a complete character performance.
06RARE PERFORMANCE
Call an Emergency Disco
A user-triggered celebration transforms the desktop, then returns Stoiq to the same resting place.
Plants, Pinecones, and Places
Focused work builds a world you can keep.
Every plant you own receives growth credit from qualifying progress. Nothing wilts, resets, or asks you to maintain a streak.

One focus block across both devices
Start on Mac or iPhone. The other device follows.
Sign in on both devices and Stoiq mirrors the task, timer, pause state, and break state. Each device activates the distraction protections you configured there, so the two screens protect one block instead of running unrelated timers.

You’ve met the companion. Now put him on your desktop.
The interactive block was compressed to 15 seconds; a normal block is 25 minutes. On your devices the task is yours, the blocked distractions are the ones you selected, and the plants and Place belong to the same account-owned collection.
