Attentn

Know what deserves your attention before spending your attention on it.

Built
February–May 2026

Why I made it

Read-later products are usually warehouses of good intentions. I wanted help deciding whether something deserved forty minutes before I gave it forty minutes.

What it became

Attentn accepted shared videos, posts, articles and PDFs, summarized them, rated their relevance against a personal interest profile, explained why they mattered and saved them in an attention inbox for follow-up questions.

What happened

I built it across iOS, a Share Extension, Chrome and the web. It exposed an important product tension: the context needed for good personalization can delay the first useful moment, and many people do not want their existing consumption behavior interrupted.
