The Saent is designed to help desk workers avoid distractions and conduct highly productive tasks in 25-minute segments. The Bluetooth-connected button is essentially a muter that is placed on a desk and deactivates apps and social media sites to create a [distraction-free work space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/focus-zone). When the button is tapped it shuts out the web-based world and uses an LED light to count down the remaining time. The timer presents a reward-like challenge that has proven to be highly effective. The device is also fully programmable so users can decide which apps and sites will be muted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Desk-working Aids:** The Saent button is an electronic aid that seeks to eliminate work distractions while desk workers avoid distractions and conduct highly productive tasks in 25-minute segments. - **Productivity Boosters:** The Saent button serves as a tech-savvy work aid designed to help desk workers be productive while avoiding distractions. - **Distraction-free Devices:** The Saent button is a Bluetooth-connected button that shuts out the web-based world to create a distraction-free work space through the use of an LED light that counts down the remaining time. ### Where This Applies - **Tech:** The Saent button is a groundbreaking electronic aid that could revolutionize time management for tech companies seeking a more productive work environment. - **Design:** The Saent button was created by a former lead designer at Lenovo, demonstrating the power of design in creating tech-savvy work aids for desk workers. - **Startup:** Startup companies seeking to increase productivity and eliminate distractions could benefit greatly from incorporating the Saent button into their work routine. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Focus-Forward Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meti-device.md) - [Connected Productivity Assistant Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/productivity-timer.md) - [Digitized Productivity Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomodizer-platform.md) - [Mindful Time Management Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/total-pause.md) - [Focus Productivity Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snail-timer.md) - [Focus Tracking Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/procrastination-slayer.md) - [Anti-Distraction Meditation Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-timer.md) - [Distraction-Limiting Work Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomodoro-todo-list-manager.md) - [Distraction Control Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distraction-control.md)
