The Vision
SYSTEM 26 is born from the observation that most productivity tools try to cram more into your day. We believe in the opposite: protecting the intensity of your focus by defining clear boundaries.
A minimalist, distraction-free focus timer designed to respect the biological limits of human attention.
SYSTEM 26 is born from the observation that most productivity tools try to cram more into your day. We believe in the opposite: protecting the intensity of your focus by defining clear boundaries.
The 26-minute cycle is the biological sweet spot for human performance. Based on NASA research in performance optimization, 26 minutes is the optimal duration for deep focus and peak cognitive alertness.
We have adapted this duration for the work-rest cycle. It is designed to be long enough to achieve deep flow, yet short enough to prevent burnout and maintain high-intensity output throughout the day.
Our vision is to provide a minimalist, distraction-free environment that respects the biological limits of human attention. No gamification, no distracting countdowns - just you and your flow. Focus is a finite resource.
