The focus workspace that never forgets

ScreenshotScreenshotScreenshot

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).
