Autonomous makes devices that think. Desks that think. Chairs that think. Pods that think. Lamps that think. Devices that read the room, learn how you work, and respond - for you, about you, and with you. This app is how you see what they're thinking. LIVE — What your devices are reading right now. Sensor by sensor, hour by hour. SIT-STAND — Your time at the desk, logged each day. The desk knows when you're up. HISTORY — Every reading saved and scored. Look back by day or week. ALERTS — A nudge when something's off — air, noise, time in the chair. Or turn them off. PROFILES — Switch between setups for different ways of working. No data leaves your phone. In the AI age, software is solved. Hardware is next. Made on the workshop floor for people who care what their devices know about their work.
