About The Focus Button
The Focus Button is a dedicated hardware device designed to tackle digital distractions through tactile interaction. Created in tandem with Focus Bear, the device provides a physical gateway to starting deep work sessions without requiring users to navigate complex menus or interact with potentially distracting software interfaces.

Once activated, it coordinates across both phone and computer environments to block distracting websites and apps, activate Do Not Disturb mode, and launch a focused session simultaneously.

About Sologang
Sologang is positioning itself as the ultimate Execution OS specifically built for solo founders and indie makers. Moving beyond the standard conversational AI chatbot, Sologang equips users with a six-role, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) C-suite that actively analyzes your actual product, diagnoses venture bottlenecks, and constructs structured, actionable roadmaps. Instead of merely offering advice, the platform stages the work, allowing founders to review outputs, hit sign-off, and push finalized actions directly into external productivity tools like GitHub and Slack. Security and cost control are core pillars of the platform's architecture. Because it utilizes a BYOK model with device-bound keys, users face zero API markups and retain complete privacy over their credentials. Additionally, built-in 'Budget Guardrails' allow founders to strictly cap their daily or project-based AI expenditures. By combining strategic C-suite simulation with tangible execution controls, Sologang bridges the gap between high-level planning and day-to-day operational output.
