Remora

Remora is a low-tech handheld device for noticing more, built on the provocation that serendipity grows out of curiosity and openness. It nudges you to see your surroundings differently using short, actionable prompts. Remora acts as a 'situationship' with your phone, a shark in the attention economy, provoking you to look up. It isn't a solution for distractions; it simply makes ignoring the world less automatic. Its focus is
to help you rediscover your surroundings. 

‍

It benefits those whose days feel repetitive or who struggle to act on their curiosity, granting permission to engage playfully in public.

‍

The interaction is simple: shake it for a prompt. It works alone at a distance from your phone, training you to see from 'what is' to 'what could be'. It doesn't compete for your attention; it redirects it, growing more valuable as the community adds prompts.
