BusyBox — Work uninterrupted at home w/ BusyBox, the wireless status sign controlled from your phone

Story

Work uninterrupted and boost your productivity with the BusyBox™ wireless status sign. Choose the best message to let everyone in your house know to not bother you. With just a click on the app, immediately create an interruption-free zone for as long as you need.

BusyBox comes in two models: BusyBox D is the digital version which allows you to create any message or image on an LCD screen, and BusyBox S is the slide-in sign version that can last all week on a single charge.

Create your own message to express your own mood. The BusyBox D has a crisp digital screen for custom messages that communicate your current status.

With BusyBox S you simply slide in your message, choose a color, brightness and blinking mode from the app to tell anyone in your home “please don’t bother me.”

Let your house-mates know when you’re busy without having to utter a single word. Place your BusyBox anywhere to remind others to not disturb.

Whether you’re working remotely, jumping on video calls, streaming videos, recording a podcast, studying for finals, aiming for the crown in PUBG, or just in need of some solo time, BusyBox gets you the uninterrupted space you need.

 

BusyBox comes with a free app that lets you easily turn it on and off, select different background colors, and set light behavior modes, like blinking or fading, if desired.

BusyBox will also integrate with many apps, for more “hands-free” control. Use voice command assistants like Siri and Google Assistant to control BusyBox.

You can also sync it with apps like Google Calendar (among others) for full automation.

Let everyone in your house know when “now is not a good time” without touching a thing!


You can also easily turn BusyBox on and off through the intuitive button on the side of the cover. As you get ready to seclude yourself, just tap the button on the BusyBox as you walk in and close the door.

Choose from an assortment of cover designs! Complete your BusyBox customization by choosing the perfect cover color and design to match your style and decor. All covers are compatible with both BusyBox D and BusyBox S

BusyBox is completely wireless. The rechargeable battery in the BusyBox S can last for more than 120 hours, and 10+ hours on the BusyBox D. Both fully recharge in a few hours. Just plug it in at the end of the week or overnight, and it’ll be ready to go.

The digital model gives you greater control of the message with the cost of a shorter battery life. To make up for it, it uses a larger battery to maximize the “on” time, so you can display updates all day long and recharge at night or every other night.

 

BusyBox boasts a simple and clean aesthetic — no disorderly designs, clunky features, or unsightly wires. Easily fit it in any style of home without obtrusion.

From work to school to entertainment, our world is quickly shifting to remote processes and home offices. We need to draw the line between personal life and professional life now more than ever. With BusyBox, you can — with a click of a button, tap on your phone, or request from Siri.

You will get the standard message set, but you can add additional message sets during checkout.

The team behind BusyBox is a unique group of friends and colleagues.  We’ve all had very different paths to get to here, but we’re all very similar in our desire to make cool products that are built well, with high quality engineering.  Best of all, we like we do and we like who we do it with.

We’ve worked with (and for) some of the world’s best companies and we enjoy creating products.  We’ve built some pretty crazy tech too … from high powered audio systems, to high-sensitivity vibration analysis products, a social network for musicians with 20M users, even an OTA app controllable switching system (ping us if you like to discuss 24 bit audio sampling to compound with impulse response optimization). We are makers.
