nerva

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.
