About Us

When we started Coffitivity, it was very much a side project to build a tool to help us work better. We’re a team of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives in Richmond, Virginia, and we all LOVE the vibe of the coffee shop.

Today, our goal at Coffitivity is simple: we’re here to help you work better. We started with a way to boost your creativity and now we’re working on a suite of tools to give you the extra kick in other aspects of your work day.

Research

Everybody says their product is proven by research, right? Well…ours actually is.

According to a peer-reviewed study out of the University of Chicago, “A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition.” In a nutshell, this means being a tiny bit distracted helps you be more creative. This is why those AHA moments happen when we’re brushing our teeth, taking a shower, or mowing the lawn! If we’re not focused too much at a task at hand, we come up with awesome stuff. In the coffee shop, the chatter and clatter actually distracts us a tiny bit and allows our creative juices to start flowing. It sounds crazy, but it works!

Overview
Coffitivity is a productivity app available on the web or for smart device download for both iOS and Android devices. Simple, mono-functional, and effective, Coffitivity is nothing more that an ambient sound streamer that offers coffee shop sounds to boost productivity. Many of us find grading papers or cruising the web to be more enjoyable (less onerous?) when we are not alone. We tend to find ourselves in coffee shops, where we can work for hours. While this is not for everyone, many of us are more productive around people and the hustle and bustle of life. It really works! The light background of conversation murmurs and coffee cup clinks really add to the energy of what would otherwise be library-quiet activities.

Concerns
None

Sample Uses
When kids are busy studying, doing sustained silent reading, or otherwise prone to fatigue the energy-inducing ambient noises have a noticeable, positive effect on moods and productivity. There is a reason that so many of us take our work to coffee shops. Life happens there!
