Roadmap

What does the Desktop Preview include?

The TypeFuel Desktop Preview is coming this summer for Mac and Windows. Selected cohorts get a private desktop app that starts with onboarding, baseline building, quick fatigue check-ins, and a learning gauge. The preview is meant to test whether cognitive fatigue at the computer can be detected from work rhythm, keyboard timing, correction patterns, personal baselines, and self-reported fuel. It is not a productivity score, employee monitoring product, team dashboard, medical device, or burnout detector. A validated v1.0 score arrives only if the Research Preview meets the methodology thresholds with real paired passive signal and self-report data. The roadmap deliberately keeps recommendations, integrations, and coaching secondary until detection is earned. That means participants first help answer the core research question: whether a private work fatigue signal can be useful without reading work content or asking people to wear another device.

What has to be validated before v1.0?

TypeFuel leaves preview only if the signal meets the methodology gates: enough paired passive timing data and self-reported check-ins, meaningful correlation with reported fatigue, calibration that holds beyond one person, and robustness across different typing speeds and work styles. If those gates fail, the roadmap stays in Research Preview. We will keep publishing what the signal gets right, where it fails, and what evidence is still missing before any public validated-score claim.

How will preview cohorts roll out?

The summer Desktop Preview is intentionally staged. Early cohorts help test onboarding, keyboard permission setup, baseline building, check-in timing, and whether the learning gauge is understandable before it makes stronger claims. Later cohorts help pressure-test the same cognitive fatigue tracker across more work styles, including coding, writing, design, analysis, operations, and deep work. That pacing keeps the product honest: participants should know what is being tested, what is not yet proven, and why the app starts with learning before guidance.

1. You are here Coming this summer

   Desktop Preview

   Mac and Windows cohorts get the desktop app, quick check-ins, and a personal baseline view. The gauge starts by learning. A validated fatigue score is not promised.

   Preview access: request the desktop preview and we will invite cohorts as spots open. Read The Deal ->

2. Next

   Detection (v1.0)

   TypeFuel leaves preview only if the signal meets the validation criteria. The goal is local detection with clear limitations.

   Gate: enough paired check-ins and timing data, meaningful correlation with self-reported fatigue, and stability across work styles. Full criteria ->

3. Later

   Recommendations and integrations

   Detection first. Recommendations later. Calendar awareness, focus-mode handoff, and integrations are possible only after the core signal earns trust.

What's not on the roadmap

Wearables Mobile Manager dashboards

Wearables solve a different problem. Mobile typing is too sparse for this signal. Manager dashboards would point the product at the wrong incentives. None of these are coming.
