Your Eyeballs Deserve Better Management

Your workspace has been lying to you. Not maliciously — more like a well-meaning friend who doesn't know any better. That gorgeous open-plan office with the floor-to-ceiling windows? It's slowly cooking your retinas. The minimalist desk setup you spent weeks curating? Your eyes are screaming and nobody can hear them.

We've optimized everything. The chair. The monitor height. The keyboard angle. The precise temperature of our oat milk lattes. But light? Light gets whatever the building decided in 1987.

Meanwhile, your eyes are doing the visual equivalent of running a marathon in flip-flops. By 4pm, they're not tired — they're betrayed.

We thought: what if someone actually paid attention?

The Recipe: A Light That Watches Back

Contraster is a projector that cares about your eyeballs. Maybe a little too much.

It screws into a standard light socket — nothing fancy, nothing that requires an electrician or a theology degree to install. But inside that ordinary shell is a small, obsessive AI that does something unusual: it watches you work.

Not in a creepy surveillance way. More like a butler who's been with the family for forty years and knows exactly when you need tea without being asked.

Contraster's Edge AI analyzes your space in real-time — the shape of the room, the surfaces, the ambient light, and yes, your behavior. It notices when you're deep in focus and when you're pretending to be. It adjusts contrast, reduces glare, creates subtle "privacy zones" around your workspace using nothing but carefully calibrated light.

We're essentially simmering your visual environment until it's perfectly done. Then we keep it at temperature, adjusting as conditions change.

Why We Built a Light That Judges You

Here's the uncomfortable truth: we've accepted exhausted eyes as a cost of modern work.

Headaches by Wednesday. Burning sensation by Friday. The slow deterioration of visual comfort that we've normalized because everyone else is suffering too. We've built standing desks for our backs and bought ergonomic mice for our wrists, but our eyes? They're on their own.

Contraster exists because we asked a weird question: what if light was as personalized as your Spotify algorithm?

Your music app knows your mood. Your dating app thinks it knows your type. Your news feed has opinions about your opinions. But the thing flooding your eyeballs for eight hours a day? That's operating on vibes and building code minimums.

We didn't build this for productivity metrics. We built it because we were tired of feeling like garbage at 4pm. We wanted to stop rubbing our eyes during video calls. We wanted the experience of walking into a space and having it feel inexplicably right.

The AI runs locally — no cloud dependency, no internet required. It learns your patterns over days and weeks. It predicts what you need before you know you need it. It's your visual environment on autopilot, except the autopilot actually knows how to fly.
