What makes it different
Session-based automatic reminders that follow time in your actual coding apps rather than requiring manual timer start
Pip desk companion that visually shows session state and joins breaks with you without disrupting your code
One-time purchase with all features included, no subscription or in-app purchases
Code is not monitored; detection uses only foreground app identity, idle state, and timing
Local-first approach with no account required
Accessible from Mac's notch for always-available capture
