What is inside

• Intent journal - write one line before the timer starts so each session has a clear purpose.
• Focus rules - keep private lists of apps, sites, or habits you plan to avoid during deep work, study, or writing.
• End-of-session reflection - rate the session and add a note while the context is still fresh.
• Rescued hours - see the time you planned and actually protected.
• History and reports - review past sessions, top intents, completion count, and rating trends.
• Custom durations - pick focus blocks from short resets to longer deep-work sessions.
