Sensors in offices mainly measure environmental data, missing qualitative insights into office workers' perceptions. This opens the opportunity for active individual participation in data collection, merging experiences with environmental data to improve office well-being understanding. To promote reflection on work well-being while overcoming experience sampling challenges in terms of privacy, notification, and display overload, and in-the-moment data collection, we developed Click-IO. Click-IO is a tangible, privacy-sensitive, mobile experience sampling tool that collects contextual information. Click-IO was evaluated for 20-days. The tangible and mobile tool enabled real-time reflections for office workers, promoting self-awareness of their environment and well-being. Its non-digital design ensured privacy-sensitive feedback collection, while its mobility facilitated the option for in-the-moment feedback. Moreover, the integration of contextual data with environmental sensor data presented a more comprehensive understanding of individuals' experiences. This research contributes to the development of experience sampling tools and sensor integration on the topic of office well-being.
