The world’s first smart glasses that actually boost your productivity are almost here

Buckle up, techies. Something seriously cool is hitting the market and if you’re one of those “gotta have the latest and greatest” types, you’re going to want to sign up for a pair of Auctify Specs.

Auctify is unlike any other glasses company out there and we’re going to be first in line for their new smart glasses, Specs. They might look like regular frames but these really pack a punch in terms of what they can do beyond simply helping you see. Interested? Us too! Let us explain.

They connect by Bluetooth to an app on your phone that lets you track your focus and productivity in real time (it tracks up to 50 different types of activities!) and shows you changes you can make to optimize your performance. We typically have hundreds of distractions flying at us every minute, which makes it  hard to stay focused on the task at hand. Gentle nudges from Specs through audible and LED cues can help encourage you to ignore those distractions and stay on task!

Some other cool features:

  • Take calls hands-free
  • Listen to music without anything in your ears through Specs’ bone conduction sound system
  • Track your steps, distance, and calories burned with Spec’s exercise sensors
  • Send texts, make calls, and schedule appointments with your virtual assistant using only your voice
  • Customize your Specs with single vision prescription lenses, progressive prescription lenses, blue light blocking lenses, or sunglass lenses

Originally, the guys at Auctify designed Specs with university students in mind. When they were studying at the University of Toronto, they watched a lot of their peers try and improve their focus problems with harmful habits and substances and figured there had to be a better way to stay focused. That’s when they started to work with neuroscientists and psychiatrists who helped them figure out how to build a product that would be a healthy (and honestly super stylish) alternative! Specs are awesome for anyone who wants to up their concentration game, whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, creator, looking to get the most out of your 9 to 5 job, or if you’re like us and struggling to stay focused working from home because of Covid!

Auctify’s Indiegogo campaign launches today with a one-day-only early bird price for those who register now, offering a discount of 45%! Specs are expected to start shipping around December. To find out more about Specs and order yours, click here!
