Quietroom
A focus timer that fades a room tone in and out instead of ringing at you. Currently in the awkward middle stage where the audio works and the UI does not.
Quietroom plays a continuous low room tone during a work block and signals the end by fading the tone rather than interrupting with a chime. The idea is to end a session without the adrenaline spike of an alarm.
Where it stands
The audio graph is done and it behaves correctly across tab suspension, which
took longer than the rest of the project combined. Browsers throttle timers in
background tabs, so the session clock is derived from the audio context's own
clock instead of setInterval.
Still open
- The settings screen is a placeholder and currently exposes raw gain values.
- Offline install works but the service worker caches too aggressively during development.
- No decision yet on whether sessions should persist across devices.
Note to self
Resist adding statistics. The point is to finish a block of work, not to generate a chart about having finished one.
