Why Oasa
Productivity apps are loud. We made one that listens.
Most task managers borrow from gambling: streaks, badges, red numbers, dopamine bait. They reward speed, punish rest, and turn your inbox into a treadmill. Oasa is the opposite — a focus app for adults who want to do meaningful work without being shouted at.
◯
Calm by design
No streaks. No nagging. No red badges. Your Garden never shrinks, and your work never punishes you for being human.
◯
Focus that respects you
Tend a single Seed at a time. No timers shouting at you. No gamified bars. Just space to do the work.
◯
Privacy as a feature
No ads. No tracking pixels. No selling data. We collect the bare minimum to make Oasa work — and we tell you exactly what.
◯
Made in Switzerland
Designed and built in Switzerland. Hosted on Swiss and German servers. Your work stays in Europe.
Three ways to plant an Oasis
Pick the rhythm that fits the work.
An Oasis is a focused project space — one intention, one rhythm. Oasa gives you three proven prioritisation frameworks and lets you choose per project. Mix and match however the work demands.
🌿
For the strategist
80 / 20
Pareto-style prioritisation. Rate each Seed by impact and effort — Golden Seeds rise to the top.
- Impact × Effort rating per Seed
- Golden Seeds rise automatically
- Pareto-style task prioritisation
🌳
For the deep worker
Hyperfocus
A quadrant approach: Deep Work, Shallow, Distraction, Let Go. Decide once, focus all week.
- Deep Work · Shallow · Distraction · Let Go
- Sort once, focus all week
- Eisenhower-style quadrant for makers
A different vocabulary
We replaced “tasks”, “projects”, and “streaks” with words that don’t make you flinch.
Language shapes how we feel about our work. Throughout Oasa we use a gardening metaphor that rewards patience over urgency, and rest as part of the practice — not a failure of it.
Plant
Create an Oasis or Seed — every workday starts with planting.
Seed
A meaningful task. Not just a checkbox — a thing that matters.
Oasis
A focused project space. Each Oasis is one intention, one rhythm.
Harvest
Complete a Seed. You did the work. Mark the moment.
Scatter
Delegate a Seed to someone else. Let it grow elsewhere.
Let It Rest
Pause a Seed without guilt. Some things need time.
Lay Fallow
Close an Oasis. Land left to recover is land that returns richer.
Tend
A focus session. Sit with one Seed. Watch it grow.
Golden Seed
A high-impact 80/20 task. The one that moves everything.
Zen Garden
Your visible progress. Calm, persistent, never punitive.
The Zen Garden
A garden that reflects what you tended. Never what you didn’t.
Every Seed you harvest, every Tend session you complete, the Garden notices. Miss a week — it waits patiently. Show up — it deepens. The garden never shrinks. No streaks, no punishment, no “you broke it” notifications. Ever.

Long-term, no end
Tend — one Seed at a time
A focus timer that breathes with you, not at you.
Pick a Seed. Pick a duration. Tend it. The screen exhales with a slow breath, the timer is quiet, the rest of the app gets out of the way. There’s no “mode” you have to leave to check your list — just the work, and a soft return when the time is up.
- No alarms, no klaxon — just a gentle chime
- End early without shame; the Garden still notices the effort
- Optional 25 / 45 / 90 minute presets — or any length you like
- Works offline. Your focus does not require the internet.
Insights · Quiet feedback
See how your week actually went — in plain language.
Oasa never shouts numbers at you. Insights are short, plain sentences: “You tended 6 Seeds this week, mostly in Deep Work. Tuesday morning was your sharpest hour.” You see what to repeat — without a single guilt-trigger.

Made in Switzerland 🇨🇭
Designed in the Alps. Hosted in two of Europe’s strictest privacy jurisdictions.

Our infrastructure lives on servers in Switzerland and Germany — covered by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the European GDPR. We’re a single-product company with no investors pushing growth-hack metrics. Your work is not the product.

Questions
The honest FAQ.
The stuff people actually ask — about pricing, AI, privacy, ADHD, and why on earth we use words like “harvest”.
Yes. The whole app is free, with no ads, no upsells popping up while you work, and no paywalled core features. We may add an optional premium tier later for power features (extra Oases, themes), but everything you need to focus is and always will be free.
