Show HN: A Tim Urban–Inspired Work/Procrastination Tracker

I built this after hearing Tim Urban mention on a podcast with Liv Boeree that he uses a chess clock to track real work vs. procrastination. The idea stuck with me.

So I made a very simple web app where you press one button when working and another when you're not. It tracks how much real focus time you’ve done, shows your stats, and reminds you that if you finish 4 hours of real work, the rest of the day is yours.

There’s also Pomodoro mode, dark mode, sound notifications, and bilingual support (EN/CZ).

It runs in your browser, no login, data is stored locally: https://phase89.github.io

Would love any feedback, especially ideas on how to make it more useful for others struggling with distraction.
