One simple movement. A different workspace.
Software switches live inside the very screens that interrupt you. Nexus Ring shifts the decision out into the physical world through three clear steps.
Choose your work mode
Identify what kind of work you intend to do: focused deep work, open exploration, team communication, or rest.
Move the magnetic totem
Place the weighted totem into the corresponding position. Contactless Hall-effect sensors detect the position change without mechanical wear.
Nexus Companion responds
The local companion software executes the matching profile, adjusting website filters, muting alerts, and opening target tools.
Your attention deserves better.
Every notification wants a response.
Every feed wants another scroll.
Every advertisement wants another moment.
Every recommendation algorithm wants to keep you endlessly engaged.
But your goals need that attention too.
Your ambitions need time. Your creativity needs space. Your most meaningful work requires calm intention.
We believe technology should support human purpose, not constantly compete against it. Discipline becomes easier when our physical environment supports our decisions. Distraction should be a choice, not the default.
That is why we are building Nexus Ring.
A physical interface designed to transform a deliberate decision into a focused change in your digital workspace.
YOUR ATTENTION. YOUR TIME. YOUR DECISION.
NEXUS RING — FORCE YOUR FOCUS. ENGINEER SUCCESS.
A mode for every moment.
Your workday is not one uniform state. Nexus Ring provides dedicated physical anchors for the distinct modes of modern technical and creative work.

Thoughtfully engineered.
Nexus Ring is designed as a substantial desk object. A weighted magnetic totem provides tactile resistance, seating into precision Hall-sensor quadrants connected to an ESP32 microcontroller.
No screens, no notifications, and no micro-menus. Status is communicated through diffuse ambient light that you can read from the corner of your eye.
Local Controller
ESP32-C3 architecture reading Hall-effect sensor inputs and managing LED ring state locally without cloud dependence.
Contactless Sensing
Magnetic field detection replaces fragile mechanical switches with smooth, repeatable, fatigue-free positioning.
Weighted Totem
Engineered with deliberate heft so mode transitions require an intentional, mindful physical action.
Screen-Free Feedback
360° diffuse light ring provides glanceable state confirmation without adding another glowing display to your workspace.
Hardware and software,
working together.
We believe a productivity controller should serve you, not collect behavioral metrics. Core mode switching runs locally on your computer via Nexus Companion.
A new way to focus is taking shape.
Nexus Ring is not a mass-produced product yet. We are actively refining 3D chassis designs, testing Hall sensor PCB layouts, and writing Companion software. Follow every milestone honestly.
