Glide is an attention training app that functions as a "gym" for focus, using short, immersive sessions that synchronize sight, sound, and touch to help users build effortless attention. The app targets the absorbed, steady state athletes call being "in the zone," distinguishing it from pushed or pulled attention. Glide is designed for use at home, work, in sport, and at school, with sessions brief enough to fit into daily life.

Problem
People spend nearly half their waking lives thinking about something other than what they are doing, with the average stretch of attention lasting only about three minutes before something pulls us away. Once distracted, it takes roughly 22 minutes to fully refocus, and the modern digital environment is designed to exploit and further fragment attention.
Solution
Glide provides an "Attention Gym" where users train their focus through short, immersive sessions that synchronize sight, sound, and touch. In each session, users follow a moving anchor that they hold with attention alone; when their focus slips, they bring it back, and each return counts as a rep. The app targets effortless attention—the absorbed, steady, unforced state athletes call being "in the zone"—as opposed to merely pushed or pulled attention. Sessions are designed to be brief, fitting into a few minutes when it matters most, and are available across contexts including home, work, sport, and school.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals seeking to improve their focus and attention, including athletes, students, professionals, and anyone experiencing the effects of digital distraction in their daily lives.
