Have we reached peak gamification in productivity tools?

Hi community!

I’m Renata, a developer and designer. Tomorrow, I am launching my first Chrome extension, Memento Focus.

Having used productivity tools since university and throughout my time in big tech and personal projects, I noticed a trend where these tools are designed like games, full of alerts, rings, and badges. For me, that just felt like extra digital noise. I wanted a quiet tool that doesn't compete for my attention.

So, I decided to build a quiet alternative. It features a vintage newspaper aesthetic, gentle bells, and redirects blocked websites to quotes from philosophers to help you pause and think. Most importantly, it operates fully offline with zero trackers.

I'm curious:

Do you prefer "gamified" productivity tools that push you with constant goals and notifications, or do you prefer "quiet/analog" tools that stay out of your way?
