In our busy modern day worlds, it can be hard to use your time efficiently with distractions like social media or email communication, however, a new platform is trying to change this -- The Intent. The new startup platform helps users become more intentional with their digital life by letting them control their distractions.

The Intent has a number of efficiency-increasing features including 'Launcher,' an app for Android users that helps users organize their digital apps into an essential category and a [distraction category](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-market). Users can also use a 'Browser' that allows them to mute websites that "don't respect your intent." Lastly, the platform features a 'Timer' that can track and create insights based on the [time spent on mobile apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/procrastination-slayer).

The Intent understands that many "many companies design their products to keep you hooked" and created tactics to help you break these unproductive habits.
