About

Hanru Wehmeyer

memor is a conceptual app which revisualizes the standard calendar to promote adaptability using circular, fluid shapes. The app has a focus on denouncing productivity guilt and encouraging users to be more aware and mindful of time and embracing the present moment. The app intervenes with you during scenarios such as scrolling on social media or while you are working. These interventions encourage you to not schedule yourself to be too busy, or to make sure you are doing something you enjoy, and even ensure you are doing work rather than procrastinating – as it still functions as a productive tool. 

Using tone of voice profiles which communicate with you in a more direct humane manner, and interaction with the calendar visual, memor attempts to move past being just an app. It becomes more of a companion, with the hope of opening your eyes to how overbearing productivity guilt can be and increase your level of mindfulness towards things that matter to you.

in a dimly-lit workspace setting, the app can be seen on a phone stand in it's 'working' view - in which the graphic is shown with minimal features to interact with on screen. This shows how the app is used alongside you while you work.

Productivity vs The Present
