According to findings from The Muse, frequent breaks throughout the day can improve productivity. Specifically, a piece published in the summer of 2014 found that the most productive cycle is comprised of 52 minutes of work followed by a 17 minute break.
5217, as you might have guessed, is a tool to record that cycle.
Using beautiful but subtle transitions, encouraging messages, and playful alarm tones, 5217 gently guides you through your work, allowing you to share how many cycles you were able to complete in a day when you're done.
Features options to automatically apply "Do not disturb" modes (starting with Android™ Marshmallow devices), or a simply daily alarm to remember you start your 52 minute work cycle to keep you sharp and ready for a new day!
With native Android™ Wear support you can Start, Stop and interact with its notification to glance the time left on your cycle directly from your watch. It's beautiful and convenient!
It seemlessly integrates with Google's Play Games giving you goals to achieve. It's an extra motivation to stay productive. Completing some of those achievements will give you medals to make your friends jealous of how productive you are.
It's unique, it's experimental, it's beautiful and fun too.
There's an option to donate in-app for only ~$2/2€ anytime if you feel like 5217 substancially improve your productivity.
