The focus workspace that never forgets
Nerva is a native desktop focus workspace built for deep work. Parallel timers that survive sleep and reboot, sticky markdown notes that float above any window, a year-long habit heatmap, and tasks with priority and due times. Offline-first. No telemetry. No account.
The six things Nerva does properly:
- Parallel focus timers - wall-clock math. Survives sleep, suspend, reboot.
- Sticky markdown notes - pop out a note; it floats above any window. Autosaves every 250 ms.
- Habit heatmap - 4-state daily toggle, streaks, full-year contribution grid.
- Tasks with pop-out - priority + due time, dockable or floating widget.
- Command palette - Ctrl+Space to jump anywhere. Global shortcuts.
- Crash-safe local store - event-sourced SQLite. Append-only log. Replay-on-launch recovery.
Native Rust core, ~80 MB RAM idle. Not Electron. Open source (Apache-2.0).
