Boost your productivity and get things done!
ConcentrAid implements behavioral triggers that enhance your ability to focus and boosts your productivity.
Working remotely is great and gives you lots of flexibility. But it can also feel isolating sometimes. With ConcentrAid, you can connect with others even when working from home, which boosts your serotonin and oxytocin levels.
Checking in with your partner at the beginning and end of each session helps you build a real connection. Working side by side, even if muted, creates a deeper bond than most people feel during a day in the office or lab. Soon, you’ll be able to match specifically with your favorite partners, including your PhD-besties and co-authors.

I'm not at the university much, and ConcentrAid makes me feel that I belong to this research community.

Best productivity tool so far.
