Reflect: Creative Sparks is a prompt deck for breaking creative blocks β inspired by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's Oblique Strategies. Oblique Strategies began in 1975 as a physical deck of cards created by musician Brian Eno and artist Peter Schmidt. Each card offered a lateral instruction designed to interrupt habitual thinking and open new paths forward. Reflect is an independent digital work made in celebration of that idea. Each prompt is short, unexpected, and oblique by design. It won't tell you what to do. It will shift the angle of your attention so you can find your own way forward. Tap for a new card. Long-press to let them cycle on their own. On Apple TV, Reflect runs as ambient text β slow TV, but words. Leave it on in the background while you work. A prompt drifts past every few minutes. Some will land. Some won't. That's the point. On Apple Watch, a tap and a haptic click deliver a card to your wrist whenever you need a nudge. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Reflect generates fresh prompts on-device using Apple's Foundation Models β silently, privately, with no network connection required. No accounts. No subscriptions. No analytics. Nothing leaves your device. The prompt is the entire product. Reflect is not affiliated with or endorsed by Brian Eno or Peter Schmidt. It is an independent work made with deep respect for what they created.

Most productivity apps are just buttons and numbers. Immersion is different. Itβs a conversational companion designed to help you "lock in" by bridging the gap between intention and action. Through a minimalist, chat-based interface, Immersion asks you the two most important questions before you start: How long do you really need? What exactly are you going to achieve? By stating your reason for focusing, you create a mental contract with yourself. Once the conversation is over, the noise fades away, leaving only a beautiful, segmented progress timer to guide you through your deep work session. Key Features: Interactive Onboarding: No complex menus. Just a natural conversation to set up your session. Intention Setting: Scientific studies show that writing down your "why" increases task completion. Immersion keeps your goal front and center. Dynamic Focus Timer: A stunning, color-coded segmented ring that tracks your progress at a glance. Minimalist Aesthetic: Designed with a soft, distraction-free palette to keep your mind calm and clear. Total Control: Pause, stop, or finish your session early, Immersion adapts to your flow. Whether you are studying for exams, coding your next project, or writing a masterpiece, get the focus you deserve. Ready to lock in? Start your first session with Immersion today.
