Oh Bother app for iPhone and iPad

Oh Bother is a lovely little app all about helping you and your housemates avoid poorly-timed interruptions when youre working from home together.

If youre working from home these days, and youve got family or roommates at home with you, youll know that focus can be a little hard to come by. Oh Bother wants to help you and your housemates manage distractions a little bit better by giving everyone in your house a quick way to indicate whether or not they currently want to be bothered. 

Heres how it works:

• Set your status to either "botherable" or "unbotherable".
• Put your status on a timer; itll flip automatically when time is up, and youll get a notification reminding you to switch gears.
• Provide context for your status by indicating that youre on the phone, taking a nap, going outside, etc.
• Meanwhile, get live info on your housemates statuses, synced automatically through iCloud.
• Set notifications to let you know when a housemates status changes, and time your distractions accordingly!
