It began with
a desire for silence.
Chapter I: The Noise
The year was 2025. The founder sat alone in his home office surrounded by a soft glow of his screens. Jira tickets piled up, eSlack pings echoed like tiny alarms, and unread emails screamed URGENT. It was three in the morning and work was due in eight hours. He was trying to code, finish his work, so he could hug his pillows and slide into a slumber, but the world wouldn't let him.
A notification slid onto the screen. Slowly, 3 AM became 4, 4 became 5, and 5 became 6 AM. All he had by the time he had to show his work was a pile of half-finished code and a feeling of dread. He realized this was not a one-off incident, it was a pattern. A pattern of distraction, a pattern of addiction.
"We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom."
WorkVar was born that night, as a survival mechanism. A simple script to block the noise. A shield against the chaos.
We believe that attention is the most scarce resource of the 21st century. To protect it is an act of rebellion.
Chapter II: The Burnout
Most software today is built like a shopping mall. Loud. Flashy. Designed to keep you wandering in circles. Tapping, scrolling, consuming. Our founder fell into that trap too. Apps that demanded attention. Tools that promised information but fed the addiction.
Something had to change. If the world insisted on hijacking attention, someone had to build a better world. So he reframed the philosophy.
"Software shouldn't feel like a mall. It should feel like a garden."
We build gardens. Quiet. Slow. Requires your care, but gives back peace and sustenance. You put in the effort, and it gives back flowers and fruits.
The internet monetizes distractions. You can choose not to sell.
Chapter III: The Rebellion
WorkVar evolved from a late-night hack into a mission:
Empower people to take back control of their attentionand their lives.
We build tools that get out of your way. Tools that respect your time, your focus, and your privacy. Tools that help you produce more by distracting you less. Tools that help you sleep better, think better, plan better and live better.
Welcome to the garden.
Let's get back to work.
This is the rebellion against addictive design.
This is software that works for you, not against you.
