Starting is the hardest part. ResetPulse shrinks it to one gesture: tap a ritual, the disc is already turning. No jarring alarm — a soft boundary you see coming from the corner of your eye. Focus mode respects your tunnel. The ring carries on from your lock screen. They pick their emoji, they SEE the time that's left. The dice makes the emoji move — a breather that doesn't break the session. 20 minutes of homework that feel like 20. An ally, not a supervisor. No account, no ads, no subscription. Your data stays with you. Ambiances, once, forever: unlimited rituals, every emoji plus your own, 10 palettes, 9 sounds.
