QuietDesk

QuietDesk is a small desk companion built on a Raspberry Pi 5, with a screen, a button and two LEDs. Its assistant is called Lumi. My phone stays across the room, and its notifications reach the Pi over KDE Connect. During a focus session, Lumi reads each message and decides whether it can wait. Normal messages are saved for later, and the sender gets a short auto-reply saying I'm busy until the session ends. If something is urgent, like my mom asking where I am, the screen and LEDs tell me right away. I talk to Lumi by holding the button. If I ask it to reply to a message, it reads me the draft first and only sends after I say yes. The code checks for that yes before anything goes out. Lumi can also ring my phone when I can't find it, play rain sounds, control music on the phone, clear notifications and answer general questions. When the session ends, it tells me what I missed.
