If you need the literal opposite of this site, I made Sit. (https://sit.sonnet.io) which is not even a clock, but a timer for sitting down and doing f*ck all.

I like the idea of this project, we need more semi-useless toys in our lives. I almost wish that every piece of software I use were customisable and themeable like Winamp. (or certain every-day objects ranging from fashion to gadgets to human skin via tattoos)

Wow pretty cool. I thought you couldn't automatically set an app as full screen without a prompt? How did you do that?

You don't need a prompt, you just need user interaction, which in this case is click, tap or key press.

Yup, that's one of the reasons I added the intro modal with a call-to-action:)

The handler triggering full screen (el.requestFullscreen) needs to be in the same call stack as a user interaction event. Same with triggering audio playback programmatically.

I'm actually using audio as a fallback to prevent the device from falling asleep (via nosleep.js, modern APIs do exist, but I don't trust Apple with PWAs).

Love it! This morning I used it as a no stress snooze.

Glad you liked it, I do the same! I also use it to meditate.

I feel like it gives me more control over my time. I can get back to reality at my own pace.
