How it works

It nudges. It doesn't nuke.

🪟

Minimized, not killed

The window drops to the taskbar. Nothing closes, nothing is lost.

🧩

Your goals, your mix

Two focus sessions. A hundred Anki cards. Both, if you're feeling brave.

🍅

A timer that floats

Small, always on top, and it counts toward the unlock.
