Vulpie.AI helps people organise tasks, estimate work, stay focused with timers, and understand how their time is spent

You open your task manager Monday morning, drag six items into Today, and by noon you've finished one because the other five disappeared under email and a Slack thread about lunch. The plan looked right when you wrote it. Following through was the part nobody built for.

That gap between making a plan and actually doing it is where most productivity apps go silent. They'll sort your tasks and suggest what comes next. But once you start working on something and wander off to a new tab, nothing calls you back. The app doesn't know and doesn't care.

The fox has personality modes you can adjust. Gentle nudges you back quietly, but set it to Savage and it will tell you «you promised 20 minutes, it's been 48» without any interest in your feelings. You pick whichever level actually gets you to close the distraction, and most people end up switching modes depending on how the day is going.

That overlay matters more than it sounds on paper. Pomodoro apps live in a browser tab you can close, phone timers sit on a device you can flip face-down. Vulpie's timer stays visible until you mark the task done, showing estimated time next to actual time the whole session.

After a week of watching your «10-minute» email routine consistently hit 25 minutes, you start putting honest numbers into the estimate field and your schedule begins to reflect what actually happens instead of what you hoped would happen.

Also there's a mobile version for Android that straight up blocks Instagram, YouTube and whatever else you waste time on, so now the fox controls my phone too
