Cross-App Attention Budget Managers
System services that coordinate attention budgets and screen time limits across devices and apps.
Software agents that negotiate notification frequency, screen time, and interruption windows across multiple apps and devices. They provide a unified 'attention budget' aligned with user-defined wellbeing goals, dynamically enforcing quiet hours, batching stimuli, and highlighting when apps or services systematically violate agreed boundaries.
