#### Cozy local-first work timer for healthy boundaries

Clyde the Capybara works remotely from a pond-side desk where the Wi-Fi is
suspiciously powered by coconuts. One evening, he got so absorbed in a
spreadsheet that he worked straight through sunset soaking club. So he built
Capy Work Clock to remember when work ends and the important business of
soaking begins.

Capy Work Clock is a gentle timer that helps remote workers protect the
boundary between work and rest. Start the day, take breaks, resume, and clock
off while seeing exact daily and Monday-to-Sunday totals.

The snap uses minimal resources: instead of ticking every second, it records
timestamped events and ordinarily recalculates the display only once per
minute.

Recorded time stays on this device. The app has no account, analytics,
application backend, or network requirement. It supports manual corrections,
configurable weekly targets, recent-history undo, validated JSON backup and
restore, and exact rollups for older history.

Almost entirely done by GPT 5.6, but modest care have been taken to minimize
required permissions (Wayland only), dependencies, and other garbage. (~650 KB)

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Capy Work Clock

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
