Reality check: Most “collaboration” tools are actually surveillance tools in disguise.
DeskTime takes screenshots every 10 minutes. Hubstaff tracks your mouse movements. Monday.com makes you manually update status 20 times a day. Your manager sees everything, you control nothing.
What if we completely flipped this?
Idea: A collaboration tool where:
– YOU decide when to share your status (“coding”, “need help”, “in focus mode”)
– Your teammates can see who’s available/busy in real-time
– Managers get team overview, not individual surveillance
– No screenshots, no tracking, just voluntary coordination
Too good to be true? Missing something obvious?
What would make you actually want to use this vs. the surveillance circus we have now?
