Every time you start a task, you pay a tax in time and willpower. This 15-minute setup ritual is a barrier to entry. It's friction.
| The Old Way (Manual Chaos) | The Axorith Way (Automated Flow) |
|---|---|
| 😩 Hunt for apps & project files. | ✅ Apps launch instantly. |
| 🎵 Find the right focus playlist. | ✅ Music starts automatically. |
| 🔇 Silence a storm of notifications. | ✅ Distractions are muted. |
| 🛡️ Manually enable website blockers. | ✅ Focus shield is engaged. |
| 🖥️ Arrange windows across monitors. | ✅ Workspace is ready. |
| 15 minutes of friction. | Less than 15 seconds to flow state. |
Axorith was born from a simple, powerful observation: the modern digital workspace is fundamentally broken.
The very tools meant to help us have become the primary source of friction. Existing applications only treat the symptoms — they are features within the chaos.
Axorith is not another application. It is an opinionated operating environment. We believe your computer should be a silent, purpose-built instrument for your mind, not a battlefield for your attention.
This philosophy is built on three core principles, embodied in our key features:
It's not about complex settings, but about meaningful control. You define the rules for your focus, codifying your entire workflow for different tasks into reusable, one-click launchers.
Core Feature: Session Presets Design your ideal environment for "Coding," "Writing," or "Gaming." One click launches your apps, sets up your windows, starts your music, and engages your focus shield.
Your workflow is unique. We don't lock you into our way of thinking. The entire system is built on plugins. Axorith provides the conductor's podium; you choose the instruments.
Core Feature: A True Plugin Ecosystem The entire system is built on a powerful SDK that lets you and the community integrate any tool with an API. A clean, well-documented, developer-first approach makes creating and sharing your own modules simple.
Your focus is fragile. The tools that protect it must be bulletproof. We built Axorith to be the most reliable part of your workflow.
Core Feature: Client-Server Architecture The UI (
Client) is completely separate from the engine (Host). If the user interface crashes for any reason, your focus session keeps running without interruption. Simply restart the UI and reconnect.
Peek Under the Hood: Tech Stack & Architecture
- .NET 10 & C# 14
- Avalonia UI for a true cross-platform native UI on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- ReactiveUI (MVVM) for a modern, reactive UI architecture.
- Serilog for structured, production-ready logging.
Axorith is built on a clean, modular architecture to ensure stability, testability, and extensibility. You can read the full guide here.
Axorith is under active development, moving towards a powerful, stable release. Our vision is ambitious, and our progress is transparent.
