Welcome to CringeClock - the cross-platform desktop timer that's so in-your-face, you can't help but stay on track. Designed with the distractible, the procrastinators, and the "oh look, a squirrel!" crowd in mind. If you've ever found yourself three hours deep into a Wikipedia rabbit hole when you were supposed to be working, this is for you.
CringeClock is not your grandma's Pomodoro timer. It's a ticking, flashing, always-on-top reminder that time is slipping away, and you should probably be doing something more productive than you are right now.

- Always On Top: Like the most annoying friend who won't let you bail on gym day, CringeClock stays in your face.
- Flashing UI: Subtlety is not our thing. The UI flashes to keep your wandering eyes glued to the task. Warning for those with health conditions sensitive to flashing lights.
- Ticking Sound: Because nothing says "get to work" like the relentless sound of a ticking clock.
- ADHD-Friendly: Specifically designed for those who need a little (read: a lot) of extra push to stay focused.
- Customizable: Because even the easily distracted have preferences.
CringeClock is built with Vue and Electron, because we believe in using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
