The Potby InlaeR

A flowerpot for your phone

The Pot

Your phone, planted.
Your focus, in bloom.

The Pot is a terracotta stand for your phone. Set a time and plant the phone — it locks, and the screen shows a single flower bud. Calls, feeds and games sleep until the time is up.

One session

From bud
to bloom.

Set a time, plant your phone, and get to work. Here is what happens between planting it and getting it back.

01

Plant it.

Slide your phone into the pot, screen facing you. The InlaeR app locks the phone and shows a closed bud. Notifications wait until you’re done.

It reads you.

While the phone is planted, its front camera reads how the session is going: whether you’re at the desk, how still you sit, how often your eyes wander. What it sees decides how the bud grows.

It rises.

When your time is almost up, the pot slowly raises the phone, and the bud starts to open.

It blooms.

When the time is up, the flower is open and the phone unlocks. Pick it up — you’re done.

No EEG.
On purpose.

Our other device, Leo, reads focus from brainwaves. The Pot reads it with what a phone already has: its camera. Either way, it’s the same app and the same flower.

An EEG ear cuff, worn like jewelry. It listens to the brain directly.

Honest clay.
One small light.

The pot is fired terracotta — a plain flowerpot, at home on a desk. The only signal on it is a small light at the base: it breathes slowly while a session runs, and holds steady when the flower opens.
