Know when computer work starts draining you.
TypeFuel is a private Mac and Windows desktop app coming this summer. It learns your work rhythm, asks quick check-ins, and never reads what you type.

How does TypeFuel work?
TypeFuel is a private Mac and Windows desktop preview for people who do deep computer work. It studies timing patterns, correction rhythm, active and idle cadence, and quick check-ins against your own personal baseline.
The research question is simple: can cognitive fatigue at the computer become easier to notice without a wearable, employee monitoring, productivity scoring, or reading what you type?
Work normally
TypeFuel studies timing patterns while you code, write, design, or analyze.
Check in briefly
Quick self-reports teach the learning gauge your normal rhythm.
What you get.
Baseline building first. Then quick check-ins. Later, a learning gauge that compares today with your usual rhythm.
Baseline building
No number until your personal baseline exists.
Quick check-ins
Short self-reports tell the preview how your fuel feels.
Learning gauge
The gauge shows when today differs from your usual rhythm.
Your work stays private.
TypeFuel studies timing patterns and check-ins. It is not time tracking, employee monitoring, or a productivity scoreboard. Read The Deal before joining.
Uses

Research Preview.
Published work makes the idea plausible. TypeFuel still has to prove its own cognitive fatigue signal with real users before claiming a validated score.
