The Hidden Cost of an Interruption
We've all had the moment:
"Wait... where was I?"
Research from the University of California, Irvine found that after an interruption, workers took an average of about 23 minutes to fully regain their previous level of focus.
BusyBox helps protect the most valuable thing in your workspace:
Your momentum. Your time.
BusyBox is simple to start using and even easier to live with.
Rechargeable battery. No wires required.
Use the free app to connect your calendar, calls, meetings, recordings, and automations.
Mount it beside your office, studio, classroom, therapy room, or anywhere interruptions happen.
BusyBox quietly updates your status throughout the day, so you can get back to work.
BusyBox works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, Slack, Stream Deck, IFTTT, Android Calls and more, keeping your availability up to date automatically.
Some work only takes a few minutes. Some work deserves your full attention. BusyBox helps protect the moments where interruptions cost the most.
Working from home shouldn't mean being available every minute. Let everyone know when you're focused, in a meeting, or ready to talk.
Recording, writing, streaming, editing, and creating all depend on uninterrupted momentum. Protect your next great take or writing flow.
Patients deserve privacy. BusyBox provides a clear visual reminder that a session is in progress.
Big decisions deserve uninterrupted thinking. BusyBox quietly protects meetings, strategy sessions, and focused work.
Whether studying for finals or finishing an assignment, fewer interruptions make it easier to stay in the zone.
Sometimes the best family communication is simply letting everyone know when now isn't the best time.
Home Office
BusyBox transformed the vibe of my studio. When I turn on that sign, I can focus. With my ADHD, if I get interrupted, I'm done for the day, so it helps me a lot, especially with a deadline looming.

Creator Studio
Perfect for my content creation setup. Keeps all my family in the loop whether I'm thinking, writing, or when I'm ON AIR.
Gordon F., YouTuber & Podcaster
Therapy & Telehealth
My clients appreciate the professional, distraction-free environment BusyBox helps us maintain. HIPAA compliance made it an easy choice for every therapy room and home therapy setup. It helps protect private sessions by making availability clear before anyone interrupts.
Dr. Emily R., Licensed Therapist
School & Classroom
Students need to stay focused when the room is setup for testing. BusyBox makes that effortless.
Marci S., Quinsigamond Community College
Podcast & Livestream
Our Recording spaces need a visual signal of room status. Knocks and walk-ins are a risk we won't accept. BusyBox was the missing piece.
Matt M., The Recording Co. Boston

Whether your workspace changes or you simply want a new look, your BusyBox can change with it.
That's one of the reasons so many customers keep their BusyBox for years.
What's the difference between BusyBox S and BusyBox S MAX?
Both models include the same smart features, app control, automations, integrations, interchangeable messages, and lighting effects.
The biggest difference is battery capacity.
If you work in a bright space, mount your BusyBox somewhere difficult to reach, or simply prefer charging less often, the S MAX is the better choice.
Yes.
BusyBox S can run from its rechargeable battery or continuously from a USB-C power source.
Many customers leave their BusyBox plugged in at a permanent installation, while others enjoy the flexibility of using it with it's internal battery wherever they work.
It's your workspace. Power it the way that works best for you.
Yes.
The BusyBox app makes it easy to control one BusyBox or a whole group. Change messages, colors, brightness, and lighting effects across multiple devices with just a few taps.
It's perfect for studios, offices, classrooms, or anyone using BusyBoxes in multiple rooms.
FWIW, the record is 48 at once by our founder Steve. Let us know if you beat it. ;-)
Absolutely.
Try your BusyBox for 90 days in your real workspace. If it isn’t the right fit, simply return it for a full refund of the purchase price and we'll cover the shipping.
We only ask that you return it in good condition with all included accessories. We'll then sell it as factory renewed or donate it to a charity.
If you have any questions along the way, our team is happy to help.
Anywhere from about 6 hours to 120+ hours, depending on how you use it.
BusyBox S doesn’t have one battery life, it has the battery life you choose.
Think of it like your smartphone. Running GPS at full screen brightness drains the battery much faster than airplane mode with the screen dimmed. BusyBox S works the same way.
Battery life depends on things like:
Most customers quickly find settings that match their workspace and easily get through a workday, or much longer between charges. Most users recharge every weekend.
If maximum runtime is your priority, our app includes simple controls that let you trade brightness and animation for dramatically longer battery life.
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
