Teams gets nervous after 5 minutes
A coffee, a thought, a quick glance out the window — and presence culture already wants proof.
Productivity app against meeting madness
Finally look productive without being productive.
Arbeitszeitbetrug is for everyone who has had enough of unnecessary meetings, status pressure, and always being reachable.
More focus time, less status theater, and a calendar that does not turn every problem into a call.

The problem
Modern office life has a status obsession.
Not every green dot is productivity. Sometimes it is just a very small play with push notifications.
Meetings as the default
One sentence in chat would have been enough, but the calendar wanted center stage again.
DMs destroy focus
Just as you enter flow, a "quick question?" lands with the force of a mini project.
Status over substance
The question is no longer what got done, but whether the dot next to your name is glowing.
Instant replies as a virtue
People who think reply later. That does not always fit notification logic.
Calendar full, output empty
By end of day everyone was synchronized. The actual work is still waiting politely.
The solution
Less presence pressure. More real work.
Arbeitszeitbetrug takes the most absurd expectations of modern office work and turns them into focus time, better replies, and nicer async routines.
For everyone who can no longer take digital presence culture seriously, but wants it wrapped beautifully.
- Less meeting stress through better async suggestions
- More focus time instead of constant context switching
- Less status pressure and busywork
- Automation for more productive communication routines

FAQ
Questions before the calendar blinks again.
Does this really create calm — or just green status dots?
Both are possible. The app does not replace work culture, but it gives you phrasing, breaks, and async routines that sound less like permanent presence and more like real work. The dot next to your name can stay calm while you actually get something done.
Do I need an avatar for every meeting?
Absolutely not. The meeting avatar is for content you want to prepare and reuse: presentations, training, concepts. Not for your weekly sync ritual with fourteen participants and a shared doc nobody reads.
How much does it cost?
€4.99 per month. One plan, all features. No sales call before you see the price — we leave that to calendars that turn "quick sync" into 47 minutes again.
Is this satire or a real product?
The app is real. The name is the punchline. Arbeitszeitbetrug criticizes presence culture and meeting madness — it is not a guide to deceiving employers or colleagues. If that is what you are looking for, you are in the wrong place.
Cancel monthly?
Yes. Short, clear, no follow-up email — like a meeting that should have been a message.
