Obol v1.0.0

The first release.

Charon and the gate

• Charon, an accessibility service that sees the app in front, browser addresses and the Reels and Shorts screens; time counts for a patron only while you touch, scroll or type.
• Charon's gate over every stream of Lethe: why you want to cross, a breathing pause, then 5, 15 or 30 minutes, the meter, or a free pass from Hermes' staff. The reel underneath is paused; turning back is free.
• The crossing's countdown in a notification: in the Super Island on Xiaomi, as a Live Update on Android 16, as a corner plaque elsewhere.
• Tariffs: Nyx's hour, the early morning and a fare that rises with every crossing of the day.
• Debt to Hades with interest on the borrowed part.
• The mist of Lethe creeping in from the edges after five minutes on the far shore.

Patrons and streams

• Five built-in patrons (Calliope, Hermes, Athena, Hestia, Nike) and your own, with a name, symbol, glaze, rate, daily cap, counting with the screen off, apps and sites.
• Pedestals that grow with all the hours served and cracks on patrons neglected for a week.
• Six built-in streams (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, VK, Reddit, X) and your own; "only the endless feed" for Instagram and YouTube.
• The oracle: one patron pays double for two hours each day.

Temple, rites and the ledger

• The temple: a treasury that grows every Monday and vows saved up for real rewards.
• Rites by a timer that runs only while the phone lies face down.
• The daily ostrakon, a four-week frieze, every line with its reason, and the evening question of what you remember from the far shore.
• The oath by the Styx: Obol can't be uninstalled, the gate's settings lock and streams can only get dearer; a broken oath stays on record.
• The purse widget.
• English and Russian, black-figure and red-figure themes.
