@HixVAC Hi, sorry for the vagueness and delays! BUSY Bar is in final manufacturing fine-tuning. We'll be back with all the dates and details really soon

@BusyFocusApp It can't do much of anything...if it doesn't exist still. When were the preorders supposed to be available again? March?

BUSY Bar can turn live route numbers, destinations, and arrival times into a simple display for your desk, like a tiny bus stop board. Useful when you need to know when it’s time to leave.

BUSY is built around one core job: helping you stay focused — showing your status, blocking notifications/apps, and triggering smart home automations. “FM” is just a fun example of what you can build with our open firmware, built-in speaker, and Wi-Fi. We could’ve designed in a CO₂ sensor, bigger speakers, a USB hub, etc. — but then it becomes a “does everything” device that’s not really about anything, and costs a fortune.

@BusyFocusApp Why not just make it actually pick up FM signals...? There are low-cost chips for doing this.

Built-in Wi-Fi + integrated speaker = free internet radio 🎶
