This chunky little white-and-orange device is essentially a digital \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d sign on steroids.

Want to tell your roommate you\u2019re on a Zoom call? Or perhaps warn your colleagues that interrupting your current coding session might result in violence?

I\u2019m already imagining programming mine with increasingly passive-aggressive messages as the day wears on. there\u2019s even a mirrored monochrome screen on the back for YOU, the user, to look at \u2013 so you can confirm your status is broadcasting properly without having to crane your neck around.

The Busy Bar can also automatically activate when it detects microphone activity or when you\u2019re streaming. No more forgetting to toggle your status when jumping into an impromptu call. For someone who\u2019s constantly being asked \u201care you in a meeting?\u201d while visibly wearing headphones and talking to my screen, this feature alone is worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-545280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"961\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/09\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Flipper\u2019s New Toy for the Chronically Distracted: Meet the Busy Bar\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-545280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"961\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/09\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Flipper\u2019s New Toy for the Chronically Distracted: Meet the Busy Bar\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_7.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"4b2e56513db10cb477191cb6-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"4b2e56513db10cb477191cb6-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The tech specs are impressively overkill for what\u2019s essentially a smart status indicator \u2013 Silicon Labs wireless processor, STM32U5M MCU running at 160MHz, 2.5MB RAM, and a whopping 16GB of storage.

I don\u2019t know about you but I also absolutely loathe touchscreens.

The door mount option is especially genius for home office workers. Nothing says \u201cDad is working, please don\u2019t burst in asking for a snack\u201d like a glowing LED bar announcing your unavailability.<\/p>\n<p>Support for Matter makes smart home integration fairly easy too. Imagine walking into your workspace, setting the Busy Bar to \u201cDEEP WORK,\u201d and watching as your lights dim, your smart speakers switch to lo-fi beats, and your phone notifications silence themselves. Theoretically possible if you set up a complex IFTTT routine \u2013 simple when you just program your Busy Bar to just do what you need it to do, flawlessly, every time, without worrying about things falling apart when you make changes to your smart home network.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-545283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/09\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Flipper\u2019s New Toy for the Chronically Distracted: Meet the Busy Bar\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-545283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/09\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Flipper\u2019s New Toy for the Chronically Distracted: Meet the Busy Bar\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/flippers-new-toy-for-the-chronically-distracted-meet-the-busy-bar\/flipper_busy_bar_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Busy Bar maintains that open-source philosophy with its HTTP API and SDKs in Python, Go, and Java<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Script<\/a>.
