More than a timer, a focus companion.

Local Intelligence

Recognizes your gaze, presence and fatigue in real time. All processing happens inside your device.

Smart Pauses

Breathing guides, grounding exercises (5-4-3-2-1) and movement breaks backed by clinical evidence, right when you get distracted.

No Frustration

No scoring systems or penalties. If you drift away, we help you come back calmly. Real progress isn't linear.

Absolute Privacy

Your camera never streams video to the internet. No image is stored, saved or shared. The code runs 100% in your browser.

How it works

1

Declare your activity

Define your goal, your focus time and how you work (screen, reading or notebook).

2

Calibrate in seconds

An ultra-fast calibration so the AI understands your natural posture and your focus gestures.

3

Work in company

If you get distracted, a subtle sound or visual cue invites you back without judgment. Starting again is part of the process.

Your attention wandered. It's okay. Returning is the practice.

Choose your work rhythm

Guided Pomodoro

The classic 25 minutes of work and 5 of rest, with the advantage that Knodl helps you keep your eyes on your task.

Deep Sessions

Long 50-minute blocks with 10-minute breaks. Ideal for high-energy days or projects that need a sustained train of thought.

Custom Rhythm

Work at your own pace. Knodl monitors your attention and lets you know if you drift, but you decide when to take a break.

Total Immersion

No timers or scheduled breaks. Just you, your task, and the peace of knowing we'll help you come back if your mind wanders.

Evidence, not willpower

Our techniques are based on validated clinical interventions such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness (MBSR). We use science-backed eye-tracking technology to detect your real fatigue, not your intentions. Because getting distracted isn't a moral failure: it's just information.

Frequently asked questions

Does Knodl record or store my camera?

No. Processing happens locally on your device and the images are discarded instantly. Nothing is stored or sent to the internet.

Do I need to create an account or download anything?

No. Knodl runs in your browser, free and with no sign-up.

What is body doubling and why does it help you focus?

It's working alongside someone to sustain focus. Knodl acts as that companion: it notices when your attention drifts and walks you back, without judgment.

What is it based on scientifically?

On clinically backed interventions: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness (MBSR) and the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique.

Does Knodl replace ADHD treatment?

No. It's a focus companion, not a treatment or a replacement for professional therapy.

How is it different from a normal pomodoro timer?

Beyond the timer, Knodl uses the camera —privately— to detect when you get distracted and helps you come back, with no scores and no guilt.
