How to Use FocusLine & Notes

Note philosophy: Ideas are welcomed—but not right now. During a work block, capture the thought in seconds and return to the task. You protect deep focus today and gain an actionable list to execute later.

• Pick your lengths: Set Work, Short Break, Long Break, and cycles. Your choices auto-save.
• Start the timer: Press Space or click Start. Pause with Space, Reset if you need a clean slate.
• Auto-advance: When a block completes, it moves on automatically (toggle under settings). Enable chime if you want an audio cue.
• Today’s totals: Completed work minutes are tallied under “Today.” Skipping mid-block still credits full minutes worked so far.
• Local time bar: The thin bar shows how far through the day you are, in real time. It’s there to keep perspective, not pressure.
• Capture Notes fast: Hit N to jump to the box. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to save. Insert a timestamp to anchor context.
• Manage notes: Mark done, edit, drag to reorder, or use ↑/↓. Search filters live. Clear Done cleans completed noise.
• Export anytime: Save a .txt for reading or a .json for backup/import. Everything (settings + notes) is stored locally in your browser.
• Privacy: No accounts, no tracking, no sync. If you want cross-device later, export/import or we can add an opt-in backend.
