Whapam is a productivity tool designed around timed focus intervals and reinforcement to help users with ADHD sustain attention and build consistent habits.
Whapam
Productivity device that uses structured work intervals and rewards to help users with ADHD sustain focus.
Key Reminders
- Connect Whapam to the Pomodoro-inspired workflow (work, short break, long break).
- Explain how the reward mechanism encourages habit formation.
- Share lessons on designing for neurodiverse users.
Problem and User Needs
Whapam was created to address attention and productivity challenges for users with ADHD by providing a structured, tactile workflow.
System Architecture
The device implements a timed work loop: a 25-minute focus interval, a 5-minute break, and a 15-minute longer break after four cycles.
c code
Code example forthcoming
Timer state machine for interval scheduling.
Industrial Design
The form factor balances visibility with minimal distraction, while a reward mechanism promotes positive reinforcement after focus cycles.
Testing and Validation
User feedback focused on usability, clarity of signals, and ease of resetting cycles.
Demo and Next Steps
Future work includes refining the reward system and exploring companion analytics for habit tracking.
