It uses the Pomodoro method to help users enter and maintain a working state of mind, while ensuring a healthy balance of work and breaks.Orbit utilizes physical levers and gears that allow the user to interact with the object in a non digital way. This sensory feedback is extremely important for neurodivergent individuals. It acts as an extra cue for their brain that strengthens the work routines built around this object. The actions involved with starting the timer act as a physical switch for the user, making them enter a working state of mind.
