Flipper Devices, known for its hacking tool Flipper Zero, has introduced a new device – Busy Bar. It is an open and easily customizable device, priced at $ 249, designed to help users focus and avoid distractions while working.
Busy Bar is an LED device with a pixel screen and Pomodoro timer, designed to improve concentration. It automatically activates when the user is on a call, streaming, recording or when certain applications are open. The display displays relevant notifications, such as: “Busy”, “On Call” and others.
The device integrates with computers, Android and iOS, and is also compatible with calendars, calls and even a “smart home”. It can be mounted on a wall, placed on a table or on a monitor. In addition to the mobile application, physical buttons for control are provided.
An open API is provided for developers, which allows you to display your own notifications, images, integrate with the cloud or connect via USB or LAN. Busy Bar can also be programmed in JavaScript, Go, or Python.
Flipper Devices is a company that rose to prominence in 2020 with the launch of Flipper Zero, a pocket-sized, all-in-one wireless protocol tester. It has become a hit with security professionals, hackers, and tech enthusiasts. Flipper Zero has raised over $4.8 million on Kickstarter. The new Busy Bar is the company’s second foray into personal smart gadgets.
Busy Bar is not just another $249 “toy,” but a real tool for those working in a noisy digital world. With app integration, customization, and an open API, this device can become an essential part of the workplace—especially for developers and streamers.
