Time Is a Resource, Not a Setting

Most timer apps optimize session control.

pomodead optimizes time reality.

Time does not start when you click start, and it does not pause when you look away.

  1. They reduce imaginary schedules.
  2. They make earlier, clearer tradeoffs.

That is the core shift: from managing a timer to managing finite capacity.
