Zen Mode - Minimal Focus Experience

  • Minimal Timer Display: Shows only the countdown — no task names, no clutter. Just you and your timer.

  • Drag Gesture Duration Control: Drag on the floating timer to adjust session length. A visual overlay shows your selected duration in real-time.

  • Haptic Feedback: Feel tactile confirmation with every adjustment. Toggle in Preferences → Focus Mode.

  • Hidden Gamification: All badges, streaks, celebrations, and notifications are suppressed. Nothing competes for your attention.

  • Simplified Navigation: The icon strip disappears. The menu bar shows a minimal context menu with just the essentials.

  • Easy Mode Switching: Toggle between Zen Mode and Productivity Mode from the menu bar or Settings → General. Can't switch during active sessions — your focus is protected.

  • Full Pomodoro Cycles: Complete work → break → work → long break automation. Set your intervals and let the timer guide you through the entire cycle.
