I was one of them.</p> <p>I kept setting Pomodoro timers and ending up scrolling Twitter during breaks. <br> That's not rest. That's just a different kind of distraction.</p> <p>So I built Mognota — a free wellness companion for screen workers.</p> <h2> The Problem </h2> <p>You don't have a discipline problem. You have a system problem.</p> <p>Your brain has a hard biological limit. Sustained attention peaks at 20-45 <br> minutes before quality drops sharply. Long unfocused hours are not work — <br> they are the feeling of work.</p> <p>The solution isn't more willpower. It's intentional recovery.</p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <p>Mognota pairs a Pomodoro timer with 50+ guided wellness activities:</p> <ul> <li>👁️ 20-20-20 eye break reminders</li> <li>🫁 Guided breathing &amp; 7 pranayama techniques</li> <li>🧘 Desk yoga, HIIT, Tai Chi, stretches</li> <li>🎵 Binaural beats &amp; ambient soundscapes</li> <li>🧠 Meditation &amp; NSDR protocols</li> <li>📓 Gratitude journal, mood tracker, brain dump</li> <li>🎮 Sudoku, sliding puzzle, fractal explorer</li> </ul> <h2> The Technical Part </h2> <p>This is what dev.to might find interesting:</p> <ul> <li>Pure HTML, CSS, vanilla JS — zero frameworks</li> <li>Everything in a single HTML file</li> <li>All 8 notification sounds synthesized with Web Audio API</li> <li>localStorage only — nothing leaves your device</li> <li>Works offline once loaded</li> <li>109+ languages supported</li> </ul> <p>No npm. No build step. No dependencies. Just open and use.</p> <h2> Try It </h2> <p>👉 <a href="https://mognota.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://mognota.com/</a></p> <p>Completely free. No account. No ads. Forever.</p> <p>Would love brutal honest feedback from this community.</p> productivity webdev beginners showdev
