What is Attention Grid?

Attention Grid is a web application designed to help you focus through a typing challenge. As you type continuously, you earn face panels on 3D geometric shapes, providing a visual representation of your focused time.

How does the typing challenge work?

To earn a face panel, you need to type continuously for 68 seconds. The progress fills at milestones:

25% at 17 seconds
50% at 34 seconds
75% at 51 seconds
100% at 68 seconds

If you pause for too long (1.5 seconds), your progress resets.

Do I need to create an account?

No, you can use Attention Grid without an account. Your progress is saved locally in your browser. However, if you want to sync your progress across multiple devices, you can sign in with your Google account.

What are the different shapes?

Attention Grid features two categories of polyhedra:

Platonic Solids: Regular shapes with identical faces (Tetrahedron, Cube, Octahedron, Dodecahedron, Icosahedron)
Archimedean Solids: Semi-regular shapes with multiple face types (Truncated Icosahedron, Cuboctahedron, and more)

How do I reset a shape?

Press the Escape key to reset all filled faces on the current shape.

Can I install Attention Grid as an app?

Yes! Attention Grid is a Progressive Web App (PWA). On mobile devices, you can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.
