Hexis

Neumorphism died in 2021 because everyone shipped grey mush with no contrast. Hexis shows the style can carry a whole app when someone commits: soft shadows give every control obvious depth, the droplet swatches invite touch, and the morphing theme toggle is the nicest I have used. Session times could use larger type. Otherwise, benchmark work.

I have abandoned more focus apps than I can list. Pomodoro timers share a flaw for my brain: the countdown ends whether I was focused or not, so the number lies. Hexis inverts it. The clock runs up, and when I catch myself scrolling I tap the screen and watch nine balls collapse and rebuild. That animation does something a buzzer never did. Breaking focus has a physical cost I can see, and I tap less because of it. After two weeks the stats calendar shows my mornings hold twelve-minute stretches while my afternoons crumble at four, which matches what my body already knew. It runs from a single HTML file, works offline, and asks for no account, so there is nothing to cancel and nowhere for my data to go. The pull-down gesture that morphs the sun into a moon is pure delight. I would love an optional gentle sound when a personal best falls. My record is nineteen minutes and I am prouder of that than of most things I have shipped this year.

One HTML file, no build, no framework, no network after first load. I saved it to my tablet and it behaves like a native app, dark theme and all. Stats live in localStorage where they belong. Software this self-contained has become rare and I want more of it. The Russian localisation reads like a person wrote it.
