How Absorto works

One loop. No dashboards. Prove the work, then take the break.

  1. 01

    Declare the topic

    Tell Absorto what you are studying. Pick 1, 25, or 50 minutes on the crown ring.

  2. 02

    Stay with the ball

    On-device Vision tracks face, head pose, eyes, and yawns. Drift shrinks the white focus ball.

  3. 03

    Tabs get judged

    Off-task apps and browser tabs (with Gemini when needed) keep the ball shrinking until you are back.

  4. 04

    Earn the break

    Drag in a study photo. Answer 3 quiz questions. Misses and distractions shorten the break.

On-device vision

Head pose, no-face, eyes closed, and yawn detection stay on your Mac. No continuous screen recording.

Gemini where it matters

Language judgment for off-task tab titles and the end-of-session photo quiz, not for every camera frame.

Breaks you earn

Base 10 minutes. Minus 1 per missed question. Minus 1 per confirmed distraction. Floor at 1 minute.
