20 Free Messages - Woot!🎉
Now Available for All BusyBox D Users — Right in the App
New Signs. New Signals. More Control Over Your Time.
We’re excited to roll out a brand-new set of 20 messages available now for all BusyBox D users through the BusyBox app. These new signs were inspired by real user requests, community feedback, and common frustrations, and, TBH, we also just wanted to have some fun. They’re designed to help you own your time, reduce interruptions, and stay in flow.
Whether you’re coding, calling, creating, or just trying to get through your inbox without a knock at the door asking "Can I interrupt?" ... ya just did ... we’ve got a sign for you to share for when you're ready for visitors.
👀 What’s New?
Here are just a few of the new message options you’ll find ready to download in your app:
-
🎙 Recording in Progress – 8 bit style! Perfect for podcasters, content creators, and media pros who love the 8-bit vibe and style. This .gif even moves like a channel strip.
- 🎧 On a Call – Don't make them guess! Let them know if you’re available
-
🧠 Deep Work Mode – Signal that you’re in the zone
-
💡 Creative Flow – A gentle nudge to give you space

These are just a sample of the new wave (added to the long list of prior messages( and yes, you can still upload your own if you want to keep it personal, funny, or totally custom.
⚡ Who’s Using Them (And Why It Matters)
We’ve seen everything from solo creators to enterprise teams using these new messages to set boundaries that stick.
-
A podcast studio in NYC switched all six booths to “Recording in Progress” signs
-
A law firm installed 32 BusyBox Ds across offices and homes to reduce interruptions during client calls and research times
-
Doctor's offices using them to ensure HIPAA compliance (and avoid heavy fines)
-
One busy family rotates between “Homework Time,” “On a Zoom,” and “Pizza at 6" signs throughout the week
[Keep those use cases coming! We love reading them!]
When your sign says exactly what you need, people take it seriously. That means fewer knocks, less task-switching, and more respect for the work you’re doing behind the door.
