so why do we let every app and service interrupt it whenever they want?
work today is a storm of pings, mentions, and pop-ups that splinter your attention into fragments. every notification arrives with the same urgency, whether it's a critical customer issue or a colleague's emoji reaction.
each interruption doesn't just steal a moment — it derails your train of thought, forcing your brain to rebuild the context you'd carefully constructed. research shows it takes an average of 23 minutes to fully recover from a single interruption.
multiply that across dozens of daily notifications, and you're left with a day that feels fragmented, reactive, and exhausting. your most valuable asset — your ability to think deeply and do meaningful work — is under constant siege.
attention isn't just about focus — it's about the quality of your work, your creativity, and ultimately your sense of accomplishment. when you're constantly interrupted:
your attention is finite. protecting it isn't about blocking the world out — it's about letting it in on your terms.
tack isn't another inbox — it's a quiet layer between you and the chaos. think of it as a notification shield that learns what truly deserves your immediate attention.
instead of letting everything interrupt you indiscriminately, tack automatically triages your notifications into three simple buckets:
you stay in control with fast, lightweight actions — mark read, archive, mute, or reply — without leaving your flow or switching apps. each notification deep-links back to its source, so you can act quickly when needed.
and when inspiration strikes mid-conversation or mid-thought? use “tack that” to capture the last 30 seconds as a quick note before it slips away.
with tack, you reclaim your day. urgent things still get through instantly, but the noise stays quiet until you're ready for it. over time, the app learns your patterns and gets even better at protecting what matters most.
you'll notice the difference immediately: longer stretches of uninterrupted work, fewer context switches, less stress, and at the end of the day, a genuine sense of accomplishment.
this isn't about isolation — it's about sustainable productivity. it's about staying responsive without being reactive. it's about protecting your most valuable asset so you can do your best work.
