DustOff Reset started with a simple observation: most productivity tools are built for ideal conditions. Calm offices, supportive management, minimal interruption. Most people don't work in those conditions. We built DustOff for the real situation: where the Slack never stops, where meetings leave something behind, where the culture sometimes demands more than is sustainable.
The honest part
Some workplace cultures extract from people and call it ambition. Some management practices wear people down and call it resilience-building. We don't think pointing this out is radical. We think it's honest. DustOff doesn't fix your organization for you. What it does is give you the tools to protect your own capacity while you're inside an environment that may not protect it for you. That's infrastructure.
The mission
Human capacity is a renewable resource, and renewable resources need infrastructure to stay that way. We're building the tools, the methods, and the research to make protecting people's capacity a standard part of how work gets designed. Not an afterthought. Not a perk.
The builders

"Burnout is a systems failure, not a personal one. I design the human side: making sure the software respects biological limits, enforces real recovery, and treats your mind as something worth protecting. I run the research and the team audits."

"I built DustOff because I was tired of frying my brain by 2pm. I wanted something that would protect my focus aggressively, not remind me that I'd failed to. I handle the technical architecture, the local-first privacy systems, and the active defenses."
