Foyer - Focus Timer
A Pomodoro-inspired focus timer, installable as a PWA, 100% local, no accounts or backend
Why this project
Most focus apps show time as a ticking countdown, which creates anxiety rather than calm. Foyer takes the opposite approach: time is never shown as numbers by default. A ring draws itself over the course of a focus session, and going over your planned time never interrupts anything, an extra ring simply stacks on top of the first.

Features
Graceful overflow
Going past your planned duration doesn't stop the timer: the main ring freezes full and new rings stack up, older ones fading so it stays readable.
Hierarchical tags
Every session can be tagged with a free-text path like code/refactor. Each root tag gets a distinct hue, subtags automatically spread into related shades.
Chains
A full sitting (focus → pause → focus → ... → stop) is tracked as one chain, which closes on an explicit stop or automatically after too long a pause.
100% local and offline
Installable as a PWA, works offline, no data ever sent to a server: everything lives in IndexedDB, with JSON export/import as a manual backup.
