A good idea for tomorrow's focus block usually turns up at the worst time to act on it, standing in a queue, walking between meetings or lying awake before the day starts, and by the time a laptop is open again the thought has usually gone. Serene exists to block distracting websites and apps and build a day around one goal that matters, but it can only suggest a session for something that actually made it into the app.

Paired with Mobile Message through Zapier, a text sent to yourself becomes the fix for that gap. An inbound message can add a new entry to My Suggested Sessions in Serene, so an idea captured by phone while away from the desk is already sitting there, ready to block time around, by the time the Mac is open again.
