👀 How do you actually work?

5 minutes · Anonymous · We're building a tool for people who work at their laptop all day – and want to understand you better. Share how you work, and help us build something useful.

Thank you for your help!

1. What best describes your work?

Designer / Creative

Developer / Engineer

Analyst / Researcher

2. What's your work/study schedule like?

5 days (standard Mon–Fri)

6–7 days (I work on weekends too)

I work in shifts / rotations

I work whenever I need to – no real structure

3. How many hours do you spend in front of your laptop on a typical workday?

More than 10 hours

4. What's your work/study computer?

I switch between devices

5. Who owns the computer you work on?

It's my personal device

It's provided by my employer

Both — I use my own and a work device

I'm a student — it's mine

6. Where do you usually work from?

Coffee shops / public spaces

A mix — it changes day to day

Already half-way 🎉 50% of the survey completed!

7. How do you usually know it's time to take a break?

I feel it – my eyes hurt or I lose focus

I use a timer or Pomodoro technique

External interruptions (meetings, messages)

8. Which of these do you currently pay for?

*select all that apply.

9. Do you use a webcam cover or privacy shutter?

Yes, always — it's covered when not in use

Sometimes — depends on the situation

No, but I've thought about it

No, I don't think about it much

10. Are you familiar with eye-tracking technology?

Yes, I know exactly what it is

I've heard of it but not sure how it works

No, never heard of it

11. If an app could detect your mental fatigue in real time and tell you when to take a break — would you find that useful?

Yes, I'd use it daily

Probably yes — sounds interesting

Not sure — I'd want to see it first

Probably not — I manage this myself

No — I don't think this is a problem for me

12. The app would use your laptop camera to track eye movement and blink patterns. All processing happens locally on your device — no video recorded, no data sent to the cloud. How comfortable are you with that?

Completely fine — if nothing leaves my device, I'm good

Mostly fine — but I'd want to be able to turn it off anytime

Neutral — I'd try it but keep an eye on it

Uncomfortable — I prefer to keep my camera covered

Definitely not — I don't want any app using my camera

Last thing 🙏 Optional — Want to help shape this product?

We're building an app that tracks mental fatigue using your laptop camera. If you'd be open to a short 30-min remote interview in the future — leave your email and we'll reach out.

Your email won't be used for anything else.

We truly appreciate you sharing your experience. Your insights help us improve and make the product even better for you!
