Against Invisible Effort.
"We are building the GitHub of Timers."
In the age of remote work, your effort is often invisible. Your boss sees the output, but not the struggle. The 4 hours of deep work you put in to solve a complex bug? Invisible.
The Surveillance Trap
Companies responded to this invisibility with surveillance. Screenshots every 10 minutes. Keystroke loggers. Green dot trackers. This is dystopian and counter-productive. It breaks trust and destroys psychological safety.
We believe there is a better way.
Proof of Work > Surveillance
Developers have GitHub. A green square proves you pushed code. It doesn't tell your boss what you were thinking, but it proves you were there. It proves momentum.
Knowledge workers need their own GitHub. A system that verifies Deep Work without invading privacy.
Enter Cadance
Cadance is a multiplayer game where the objective is focus. When you start a timer, you are broadcasting your intent. When you complete it, you mint a unit of Focus Capital.
- Silent: No notifications. No chat. Just presence.
- Verifiable: You either did the work, or you didn't.
- Social: See your ensemble working alongside you.
"Focus is contagious. When you see others working deeply, your mirror neurons fire. You want to work deeply too."
We are building a future where your Focus Capital is your resume. Where your ability to concentrate is a quantifiable asset. Where you own your productivity data, not your employer.
