Four things this site is careful not to claim. They appear on the relevant pages too; this is the full version.
On focus and productivity
We write about how attention and work behave in general. Nothing here is a prediction about you specifically, and no practice described here is guaranteed to work for anyone.
We do not claim that using Eonara makes people more productive. We have not measured that, we would need a study design to measure it honestly, and until that exists the claim is not ours to make. What we describe is what the product does — one session, one thing, with the surroundings quieter — and what we think follows from that.
On health and mental health
Eonara is not a medical or mental-health resource and does not diagnose anything.
Difficulty concentrating can have causes no article about work habits can address, among them sleep disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, thyroid conditions, medication effects, and ADHD. Our diagnostic piece on concentration failures is structural: it is written for the ordinary case where the working day is what is broken, and it says so at the top.
If difficulty concentrating is persistent, appears across every part of your life rather than only at work, or comes alongside changes in mood, sleep or appetite, that is worth discussing with a doctor. Nothing on this site should delay that, and none of it is a substitute for it.
We are also not qualified to comment on whether any particular person has ADHD or any other condition, and we will not.
On research
Where we cite studies, we describe what they measured and under what conditions.
Findings in psychology and workplace research often do not generalise as widely as their headlines suggest, and this field in particular contains figures quoted far outside the context that produced them. We try to be the site that reports the conditions alongside the number, and we would rather be less quotable than more wrong.
Our writing labels claims as observed where research supports them, inferred where we are reasoning beyond what was measured, and leaves positions unlabelled as what they are: our view. The editorial policy explains the system.
An observed label means a study found something under its conditions. It does not mean the finding applies to you, that it has replicated, or that the field agrees.
On other people’s work
Where we discuss another author’s ideas — Cal Newport’s on depth, Gloria Mark’s and Sophie Leroy’s research, Dan Koe’s writing on self-direction — we are offering commentary, extension and sometimes disagreement.
We are not summarising their work as a substitute for reading it, and nothing here should be treated as an accurate representation of what any of them actually argue. Go to the source. We cite them so you can.
On the product
Eonara stores your preferences and tasks in your own browser and sends nothing to us. That is described precisely on the privacy page. It is a statement about how the software currently works, not a legal guarantee, and if it changes the privacy page changes first.
