Head in the Clouds

For many Chinese international students in Australia who recognise ADHD traits in themselves, the hardest part of a free afternoon is its edge: stopping, getting ready and leaving on time. Time fades from attention, and the clock is checked the least when it matters. Cloudie is a soft, ambient desk companion that turns one spoken plan into a cue you can see and feel. Say your plan once, and the app works backwards from the time you need to leave. The silicone cloud then moves through three stages, wind down, get ready and leave: its light drifts from blue to peach, it slowly swells, and its pulses come closer together. Drawing on calm and slow technology, Cloudie gives time a shape, faint at first and clearer as leaving nears, without asking for more self-discipline.
