Diese App ist der Vorgänger von BundesMessengerX, sie bleibt nutzbar und erhält wichtige Sicherheitsupdates, jedoch keine neuen Funktionen mehr. Für eine aktuelle, stetig weiterentwickelte App mit moderner Oberfläche und zusätzlichen Funktionen für den Behördenalltag, empfehlen wir ausdrücklich die Nutzung des BundesMessengerX. --- Der BundesMessenger generell ist eine sichere Messaging-Lösung für die Öffentliche Verwaltung. Von der BWI für die Behörden in Deutschland. Ziel ist es, eine moderne & sichere Zusammenarbeitsplattform auf Basis von Open Source für Deutschland zu schaffen, die sich den Bedürfnissen und Vorgaben der Deutschen Verwaltung anpassen kann. Mit dem BundesMessenger kannst du auch beruflich so kommunizieren, so wie du es privat von anderen Messengern gewohnt bist. Der Messenger nutzt das Open-Source-Protokoll Matrix und wurde für maximale Sicherheit konzipiert. Tausch dich in 1:1-Chats oder in Gruppen aus und versende Textnachrichten, Dokumente oder Mediendateien – auch Sprachnachrichten und Umfragen sind natürlich möglich. Jede Kommunikation wird automatisch und durchgängig VERSCHLÜSSELT.

You know that moment when the timer ends and you just… keep scrolling? Summit ends differently. Here, a focus session closes with your body. When the bell rings, a short set of push-ups (or ten slow breaths) makes camp — ten reps, half a minute, done. You stood up. You moved. You come back sharper for the next round. That's not a gimmick. Research keeps finding the same thing: a short burs of movement sharpens attention and helps new learning stick. Summit turns that finding into a ritual you'll actually keep — because every session you close builds something you can see. Every focused minute is a meter climbed on a real mountain. Arthur's Seat falls within your first days. Then Snowdon. Then Fuji, the Matterhorn, Everest — summited over weeks of honest work. A small hooded traveler walks your climb through a living, hand-drawn scene that follows the real sun from morning to starlit night. He hikes while you focus and camps while you rest — and the mountain keeps a few surprises of its own. What climbers get done with Summit: • Deep-focus hours that actually finish — the timer can't be swiped away • An exercise habit that builds itself: four sessions a day is forty push-ups, without ever "working out" • Real breaks — you made camp; the kettle is on • A logbook of summited mountains: proof of effort you can point to • Focus tags for Work, Study, Reading, Deep Work — each with its own length No account. No ads. Your climb stays on your phone. **Summit Pro** adds the open climb (a stopwatch ascent with camps along the way), "no signal above the clouds" (distracting apps unreachable while you hike), trends and planned routes. Every subscription starts with a 7-day free trial, then renews automatically until cancelled; Lifetime is a single purchase.
