The Busy Bar looks like an alarm clock, but is designed to be used on a desk, mounted on top of a monitor or cubicle wall, or mounted on a wall or door. When placed in a place visible to co-workers, family members, or roommates, the Busy Bar acts as a visual reminder when you are focused on work and should not be interrupted.

At the push of a button, the Busy Bar will display a bright message on its 72 x 16 LED screen that can include a countdown timer to let intruders know when you’ll be available again. Along with features, Busy Bar can trigger a Pomodoro timer and block notifications on other devices. The Busy Mode can be set to automatically activate custom triggers, including when you join the phone, start scrolling, start recording, or simply open a specific app. It’s also compatible with Matter, which allows you to activate smart home systems when you need attention, such as dimming the lights or playing music on the speaker.

Flipper Devices has created an open API for Busy Bar so developers can build their own third-party apps to add value and functionality. You can link it with the office schedule to show when meeting rooms are booked or available, for example. There will also be apps available for the device on iOS, Android, macOS, and watchOS, with a Windows app planned for later this year.
