According to findings from The Muse frequent breaks throughout the day can improve productivity. Specifically a piece published in the summer of 2014 found that the most productive cycle is comprised of 52 minutes of work followed by a 17 minute break.

5217 as you might have guessed is a tool to record that cycle.

Using beautiful but subtle transitions encouraging messages and playful alarm tones 5217 gently guides you through your work allowing you to share how many cycles you were able to complete in a day when you're done.

Features options to automatically apply "Do not disturb" modes (starting with Android™ Marshmallow devices) or a simply daily alarm to remember you start your 52 minute work cycle to keep you sharp and ready for a new day!

With native Android™ Wear support you can Start Stop and interact with its notification to glance the time left on your cycle directly from your watch. It's beautiful and convenient!

It's unique it's experimental and it's beautiful and fun too. If an hour of your time is worth more than $0.99 (it is) then this app will pay for itself :)
