Busy Bar: Flipper Zero's New Focus Gadget Turns Pomodoro into a Smart Home Trigger

TL;DR Summary
The Flipper Zero team is releasing Busy Bar on July 14 as a focus-timer device with a blinking LED Display that shows “Busy.” It supports Matter for smart-home automation (e.g., locking doors, pausing music) and pairs with the Busy app to block apps/sites during focus. The first 3,000 units are discounted to $199 (regularly $249). An open API is planned for third-party integrations. This marks the second device from Flipper Labs after Flipper Zero tools, with a third device—Flipper One, a network multitool—teased for Kickstarter later this year, though RAM costs may affect early availability.
