Tempura
Timing that crisps.
A calm focus-rhythm timer for structured intervals and flexible flow. The session lives on your machine — tray-native, no accounts, no cloud.
Techniques in the pan
Work rhythms for the desk — not a diagnosis, and not medical advice.
Rust holds the clock
The countdown belongs to the native side, so a hidden window or a machine that slept does not cheat the session. Start, pause, skip, reset, stop — the tray tooltip stays live.
Close it. It stays.
Tempura lives in the system tray. Closing the window hides it; quitting is a deliberate choice from the tray or Settings. Launch at login if you want it waiting with the kettle.
Nothing leaves the board
Presets, settings, and history sit in local SQLite under the app data directory. No accounts, no cloud, no sync — MIT licensed, yours to inspect.
