Experimental app that suggests distraction when it thinks you are bored

Experimental app that suggests visiting a URL of your choice as distraction when it thinks you are bored.

Use it to e.g. stay on top of your read-later list or to keep up with new content on your favorite web page.

The app is part of an ongoing research project on boredom and mobile phone usage, which was carried out by members of the scientific group of Telefonica R&D in Barcelona.
