About Alongside · Focus Companion
Some days, the hardest part is starting. Alongside is a body-doubling focus tool. A pixel-art companion sits at a small desk and quietly works while you do. They write, or type, or read — matching the kind of work you've told them you're doing — while a timer counts down. When time's up, they stand and walk out. "Nice work."

The empty room remains. • They come back when you do. What's in the room: • A real window with the actual current weather where you are. Sky drifts with the time of day. Clouds, rain, snow, lightning at storm. • A warm lamp glow that shifts from morning through evening. • Optional soft pink-noise hum or ambient music streamed from the cloud. • Customise the companion — hair, skin tone, hoodie, glasses, headphones, name. Yours. Focus mode: Tap the
