Nook live · free
A calm focus app that gets you started. One tap, and you're in. No streaks, no badges, no slot-machine brain.
- Focus rooms for up to 6 people
- Nib, a hand-drawn bear, keeps you company
Hi, I'm Adam.
I'm 16, from Morocco, and I build things that help people focus, learn and grow: apps, robots, debates, and the occasional game.
Right now I'm building Nook, a calm place to study, and I'm CTO of Offtime. When I'm not coding, I'm probably training for maths olympiads.
What I'm into
Software engineering
Products from scratch: Nook, Offtime, and robot codebases.
AI / ML research
Learning how models work, and where they can help people learn.
Robotics
FTC, EnjoyAI, WRO. Writing the code, debugging it, and teaching it.
Maths & computing
