Contract · Mac & iOS App Focus
Over the past decade, average attention spans have fallen to roughly 47 seconds. Meanwhile, the AI systems being built around us are increasingly optimized for engagement and capture. The result is a fundamental misalignment: our tools are learning to steal our attention, not steward it.
We're building the opposite: a tool that makes your attention visible to you, so you can see your patterns, understand how your digital environment shapes your focus, and make deliberate choices about how you spend it. Based in New York City. Backed by True Ventures, Betaworks, and Slack Fund.
This role transforms complex ideas about cognition and attention into tangible product experiences, while maintaining design coherence across all company surfaces. You'll shape product direction through research and prototyping, contribute to establishing design foundations, and help ensure a unified design language from product through to brand.
How do you show someone their own attention in a way they immediately understand and trust?
With our primary focus on Mac and native app, deep familiarity with Apple platform conventions and a strong instinct for native-feeling interactions are central to this role.
Contract, 4 to 6 weeks, with the potential to grow into an ongoing role for the right person.
Starting from an existing base and with existing concepts, you'll design the core product surfaces for a native macOS application: how attention data is visualized, how users explore their patterns over time, and how the product communicates state across ambient, contextual, and immersive views. The end goal is a fully functional design handoff to engineering.
You'll be a strong fit if you see yourself in these statements:
