ContextSwitch: a re-entry card after interruptions

Get back into deep work within 30 seconds after being interrupted

Problem

Mid-way through a complex task, a client message, meeting, or urgent bug hits, and when you return you often forget where you were and what came next. Developers discuss context switching as a real cost, yet only scattered notes and todo apps exist — nothing designed for the interrupt-and-resume moment.

Solution

A minimal desktop or editor-side tool: one hotkey before the interruption captures current thinking, cursor location, next action, and key files; on return it shows a re-entry card that walks you back into the task in order.

Users

Solo developers and remote engineers who need long focus blocks, plus tech leads who get interrupted constantly

MVP

Global hotkey quick-capture; re-entry card view (thinking + next step + related files); local storage organized by project; light stats on interruptions and resume time

Revenue

One-time desktop purchase (about $19–29), or free tier with paid cloud sync

Why now

AI coding raises individual output but also increases interruptions, making focus recovery a fresh pain; the tooling is simple enough for a two-to-three-week solo build
