Choosing your study Crew: who helps you feel ready to begin?

Choose study partners who respect your pace, privacy and boundaries. Use these conversation prompts before agreeing to share focus sessions.

THE SHORT ANSWER

A good study Crew is a small group you choose for the support you want. Look for people who respect privacy, accept a declined invitation and encourage effort without comparing results. You do not need to add everyone you know.

Decide what kind of support you want first

Someone who is great at explaining a difficult question may not be the person you want sitting beside you in silence. Think about the moment you need help with: choosing a first step, getting started at a particular time or feeling less alone while you work.

Ask the other person what they want too. A useful arrangement should leave room for both people rather than turning one friend into the other person’s supervisor.

Look for a few everyday signs of trust

  • They can hear “not today” without making you feel guilty.
  • They keep private information private.
  • They can encourage a small effort without ranking it against their own.
  • They are willing to discuss distractions, interruptions and check-ins.

Start with one person and one session. You can decide afterward whether the arrangement is worth repeating. A large group is not automatically more supportive.

Agree on what you will share

You can share that you have started without sharing the details of an assignment or a personal task. Decide whether task titles, progress updates or later reflections belong in your conversation.

In Clock In, sessions start private. Sharing is chosen per session, and task-title visibility is controlled per connection. Pauses, private reflections and parked distractions are not shown to Crew. [1]

Give yourself room to change the arrangement

If company turns into pressure, say what you want to change. You might prefer one check-in instead of repeated messages, a different time, or private sessions for a while.

“I like starting together. I would rather keep what I am working on private.”

Clock In includes mute, remove, block and report controls. You can also choose not to share a session. Connected features require an account; check age requirements when the app is released.

Bo, delighted

Your first start is coming

A little heads-up, when Bo is ready.

Join the waitlist for one email when Clock In: With Bo is released for iPhone.

One release reminder. No general newsletter.

Website & waitlist privacy

Your email has one job.

When you join the waitlist, we store your email address, your release-reminder consent and the time you signed up in this site’s hosted database. We use them to send the iPhone release reminder. We also save recognised campaign codes from your signup link, if present. If you answer the optional question after joining, we save that interest and the time you chose it. These help us understand demand; we don’t ask for a diagnosis, school or child’s details. Joining doesn’t subscribe you to a general newsletter.

You can use “Manage your signup” in the browser where you first joined. A necessary, secure cookie holds your private management link, not your email address. The release email will also include an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops the reminder; a record of your choice is kept so we don’t send it. Your signup is separate from an app account and isn’t linked to your app tasks, sessions or Crew.

This site has no advertising trackers or cross-site tracking. We count saved waitlist memberships by campaign and optional interest; we do not record individual page views, your full URL or your referrer. The host processes connection information to serve and secure the page. To limit spam, the signup service uses a salted, rotating request fingerprint instead of storing your raw IP address in the waitlist.

About this page

The app, as it is.

Clock In: With Bo is a personal focus app for iPhone with private sessions; Gentle, Pomodoro, Deep and Open focus styles; reusable routines; optional Crew support and Start Together plans; a private Log and insights; and Bo’s coats and wardrobe.

The product film recreates the app’s interface with illustrative interactions and sample people and history. Still app screens on this page are captures of the app’s current web build, shown inside an illustrative iPhone frame. The status bar is part of the frame, not the capture. Names, routines and history in the screens are sample data, not customers or endorsements. The “How it works” session is an illustration made with Bo’s artwork from the app.

iPhone notifications, the Home Screen widget and Live Activities are still being verified on real devices, so this page doesn’t advertise them yet.
