  • A beautiful analogue fidget tool for your desk.
    Designed to anchor your attention and bring style to your workspace.

  • Made with solid walnut wood, premium materials.
    Satisfying buttons, haptic dials and switches that are designed to ground you in the moment.

I am currently in the prototype production stage of development, with a fully working model being built and tested.

Final materials and manufacturing processes are being ironed out, with production and launch planned for 2027.

How does Focus Deck work?

It doesn’t do anything digital... and that’s the point. Each movement has been carefully engineered to satisfy in a different way.
  • Crisp mechanical clicks that reward interaction
  • Satisfying tactile haptics for rhythmic flow
  • Ratcheting metal parts for satisfying feedback
  • Ergonomic layouts that flow with your fingers
  • Balanced resistance that feels at home in your hands

Research suggests fidgeting and repetitive movement may support attention and self-regulation for some people, particularly during certain tasks.

Focus Deck transforms that instinct into a beautifully designed daily ritual.

Early user testers say...


A collage of eight testimonial quotes from people using Focus Deck, arranged in a grid on a white background with light gray rounded corners. The quotes are attributed to various individuals and professions, including: "A better alternative to reaching for my phone. I found myself instinctively reaching for Focus Deck during calls and quieter moments at my desk. It gave my hands something satisfying to do, helped me stay present, and stopped me reaching for another screen." Victor. Software engineer.

    "I was surprised how quickly it became a habit. I didn't expect to reach for it so naturally. After a few sessions, I found myself picking it up without thinking, especially during video calls or when reading."

    Designing a more intentional way to work.

    As a designer with ADHD, I'm constantly fidgeting, reaching for my phone and getting pulled away from what I'm doing. I'd tried apps, timers and productivity systems, but they all lived on the screens I was trying to spend less time on.

    So I designed something physical instead.

    Focus Deck is a beautifully made fidget tool for your desk, designed to keep restless hands busy and give you something else to reach for besides your phone.

    Not another productivity app, and not going cold turkey. Focus Deck brings satisfying tactile interaction whenever you need it.
