While building a new app for one of our foundational clients, one theme kept surfacing: context switching kills productivity.

A joint study by the University of California, Irvine, and Humboldt University in Berlin found that interruptions lead to higher stress and frustration — even when people compensate by working faster.

In Attention Span, Dr. Gloria Mark notes it can take up to 25 minutes to fully return to a task after an interruption.

We see this every day.

That’s why we’re designing tools that protect focus — not fragment it.

Our approach centers on:

• Unifying communication and tasks into one flow.

• Reducing friction with a one-screen mentality.

• Structuring clarity so teams instantly know what needs attention, and what can wait.

Because when focus is protected, everything improves — output, engagement, and the bottom line.

At Roame Co., we help teams move with intention — designing systems that let people spend less time switching, and more time building.
