IdleJolt
Product Overview

Why IdleJolt Exists

Most productivity tools assume you notice when concentration drops. Real desk drift is quieter than that. IdleJolt was built to detect that slip and force a deliberate return before minutes disappear.

The Core Problem

Silent time loss

You pause for a moment, then lose longer blocks without realizing.

No clear interrupt

Passive reminders are easy to ignore when attention is already drifting.

Context decay

The longer drift runs, the harder it is to re-enter deep work quickly.

What You Get

Configurable drift threshold

Set idle threshold anywhere from 20 seconds to 60 minutes based on task type and intensity.

Alarm profiles by intent

Choose discreet or punishing profiles depending on how hard you need the interrupt to hit.

Deliberate reset flow

Alarm continues until you dismiss or snooze intentionally, so the return action is explicit.

Direct update path

Direct builds check GitHub releases in-app and apply updates on next launch.

Who It Is For

Knowledge workers

People writing, coding, planning, analyzing, and shipping from a desk.

Self-managed schedules

Freelancers, remote workers, and students running their own focus structure.

Deep-work blocks

Anyone who needs a strict external nudge when concentration starts to slip.

If desk drift is costing you time, IdleJolt fixes that loop.

Get the app, set your threshold, and let it protect your focus blocks through the day.
