    reset-to-present chip, and left / right arrow key navigation
  • Per-app daily limits with strict and soft strictness
  • Focus mode with app and (optional) website blocking
  • Break reminders and quiet hours
  • Dark and light themes using the "Signal" palette - no emoji, only
    lucide-react icons

Platform support

Windows is hand-tested on Windows 11. macOS and Linux installers are
built and verified by CI but have not yet been hand-tested on real
hardware - please open an issue
if you hit anything.
