I agree. If it became a management or surveillance tool, I'd find that pretty uncomfortable.
I was thinking more about helping the individual in situations where they genuinely want to pay attention because the meeting is important for the work ahead, but still catch themselves zoning out.

Fair point, but then again, what's the difference between intentionally being passive cause the meeting isn't relevant, and actually wanting to pay attention, and finding out that you drift off without noticing, i'm more interested in the second case.

interesting point, arguing in what way
boring mostly cause of the speaker, but can't really control that

I built FocusPulse after realizing I'd often think I was following a meeting, only to discover I'd mentally drifted when someone suddenly asked me a question.
It sends random vibration prompts during meetings. If I notice one, I tap it. If I miss it, I probably zoned out.
It calculates a Focus Score from my response rate and reaction time.
It's completely free, has no ads, and doesn't require an account.
I'd love to hear what you think. Is this something you'd actually use in your day-to-day meetings? If not, why? And if you would, what would make it more useful?
