About Oi-U!

The Story

I’m Richard, a product manager with a hyperfocus superpower that often felt more like kryptonite. Missing meetings, getting “where are you?” messages, and showing up late to an important interview led me to build Oi-U! – a simple solution that changed how I work.

Why Oi-U!?

Deep work shouldn’t mean dropping commitments. Traditional notifications fragment attention, while “Do Not Disturb” isolates us. Oi-U! creates intentional interruptions that let you fully immerse in work while staying reliably connected.

Values

• Authenticity: Built from real need, not market research
• Simplicity: The best solutions often are
• Trust: Systems should free your mind, not occupy it
• Curiosity: Always learning, always questioning assumptions
• Community: Growing through real user experiences
