The loop

▶

Focus Start a block. Goals are set below your floor — they should feel easy. Hide the timer with zen mode.

✓

Stop honestly Done = you chose to stop. Distracted = you'd already lost focus. The algorithm learns from the difference.

Break, then come back Step away. The progress bar tracks your daily total. Each new block adds to it.

How the system adapts

📊 Daily volume goal

Your target total for the day — set just above what you reliably do (your volume floor). Hit it across as many sessions as you like.

🎯 Easy session goals

Each block targets ~90% of your session floor. Deliberately comfortable. You'll finish most of them — and start another.

⏱ Gap-based recovery

Back-to-back blocks get a small penalty. Wait 2 hours and you're fully fresh. Spreading sessions across morning, afternoon, and evening works best.

☕ Generous breaks

Breaks are longer early in the day to save your energy for later sessions. As you near your daily goal, they normalize.

Reading the numbers

Volume bar: Total focus today vs your daily goal. The main number. Fill it up.
Session floor: What you can reliably do in one sitting. Session goals are set below this.
Recovery %: How fresh you are since your last block. 100% = fully rested.
Milestones: Permanent trophies earned when your session floor crosses thresholds like 15m, 25m, 30m.

Tips

Spread sessions out Morning + afternoon + evening beats three blocks in a row.

Easy is the point Finishing a short block and starting another beats grinding one long one.

Use zen mode The eye icon hides the timer. You'll focus better without watching it.

Be honest Pressing Distracted isn't failure — it's data the algorithm needs.

Take real breaks The generous early-day breaks are deliberate. Step away. Move. Come back.

Watch the bar, not the clock Daily volume is the signal. Individual sessions are noise.
