CORE COOLDOWN

A portable break timer for Windows that reminds you to rest.
Because your time and your body belong to you - not to your screen.

Download latest release

--- ## 💡 Why does this exist? Repetitive strain injury and eye strain are not personal failings. They are the predictable result of systems that treat human attention as an extractable resource. Every person at a screen deserves a tool that gently interrupts the grind - one that serves *them*, not a subscription model, not an analytics dashboard, not a corporate wellness KPI. Core Cooldown is a single portable `.exe`. No installer, no account, no telemetry, no data leaving your machine. Drop it in a folder and run it. It reminds you to rest. That's it.
--- ## 🧭 Philosophy Core Cooldown exists because rest is not a luxury. It is a fundamental need that no productivity framework, no employer, and no software platform should gatekeep behind a paywall or a subscription. This application: - **Collects nothing.** No analytics, no telemetry, no usage tracking, no crash reports phoned home. Your break habits are your own business. - **Costs nothing.** Not "free tier with limitations." Not "free for personal use." Free, unconditionally, for everyone. - **Requires nothing.** No account, no email, no app store, no internet connection after download. It runs on your machine and answers to you alone. - **Owns nothing.** Released under CC0 - the most complete relinquishment of rights possible under law. There is no owner. There are no restrictions. The code belongs to the commons. Tools for human wellbeing should never be enclosed, never be scarce, and never serve a master other than the person using them.

### ♿ Accessibility

Core Cooldown targets **WCAG 2.2 Level AAA** conformance - the highest level of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. A break timer for preventing repetitive strain injury should be usable by everyone, including those who already live with disabilities. > **Why AAA?** Most applications stop at AA. We went further because the people who benefit most from a break timer - those with repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, or vision impairments - are the same people who need the strongest accessibility support. AAA isn't a checkbox. It's the right thing to do. #### Contrast & Visual Design | | Feature | Standard | Description | |:--|:--------|:---------|:------------| | 🎨 | **Enhanced text contrast** | AAA 7:1 | All body text meets 7:1 contrast ratio against dark backgrounds. Secondary text `#a8a8a8` on `#000` = 7.28:1. | | 🔤 | **Large text contrast** | AAA 4.5:1 | Headings and large text (18px+) meet 4.5:1 minimum. Timer countdown, break titles validated. | | 🎯 | **Non-text contrast** | AA 3:1 | UI components (toggles, steppers, rings, chart bars, color swatches) all meet 3:1 against adjacent colors. | | 🖥️ | **Windows High Contrast** | AAA | `forced-colors: active` maps all theme tokens to system colors. Full usability in all Windows contrast themes. | | 🐢 | **Reduced motion** | AAA | `prefers-reduced-motion` disables all CSS animations, JS Web Animations API effects, and momentum scroll. Zero functionality loss. | #### Keyboard & Navigation | | Feature | Standard | Description | |:--|:--------|:---------|:------------| | ⌨️ | **Full keyboard access** | AAA 2.1.3 | Every control operable via keyboard alone - no exceptions. Arrow keys for color pickers, steppers, radio groups. Tab/Shift+Tab cycles all interactive elements. | | 🔍 | **Visible focus indicators** | AAA 2.4.13 | 2px solid white outline with dark shadow fallback on every interactive element. No hidden or suppressed focus rings. | | ⏭️ | **Skip navigation** | AA 2.4.1 | Skip-to-content link bypasses the titlebar on Tab. | | 🏠 | **Focus management** | AA 2.4.3 | View transitions auto-focus the new view's heading. Break screen traps focus. Dropdown focus returns to trigger on close. | | 🏷️ | **Heading structure** | AAA 2.4.10 | Semantic `h1` > `h2` hierarchy across all views. Settings sections use `h2` with `aria-labelledby`. | #### Screen Readers & Assistive Technology | | Feature | Standard | Description | |:--|:--------|:---------|:------------| | 🗣️ | **Live regions** | AA 4.1.3 | `aria-live` announces timer state, breathing phase, break activities, status changes, and celebration events. | | 📊 | **Semantic roles** | AA 4.1.2 | `progressbar` on timer rings, `switch` on toggles, `tablist`/`tab`/`tabpanel` on stats view, `radiogroup`/`radio` on breathing patterns, `alertdialog` on overlays. | | 📋 | **Data tables** | A 1.3.1 | Screen-reader-only data tables behind the 7-day chart provide the same information non-visually. | | 🏷️ | **Accessible names** | AA 4.1.2 | Every toggle, stepper, button, swatch, and form control has a descriptive `aria-label` or visible label. Sound presets use `aria-pressed`. | | 📝 | **Page titles** | AAA 2.4.2 | Dynamic `document.title` updates per view ("Core Cooldown - Dashboard", "- Settings", etc.). | #### Target Sizes & Interaction | | Feature | Standard | Description | |:--|:--------|:---------|:------------| | 👆 | **44px touch targets** | AAA 2.5.8 | All interactive elements (buttons, toggles, steppers, color swatches, titlebar controls) have minimum 44x44px hit areas. Visual size may be smaller - the clickable area extends invisibly. | | 🎯 | **Celebration persistence** | - | Milestone/goal popups stay visible on hover or focus, with keyboard-accessible dismiss buttons and Escape key support. | | ⏱️ | **Hold-to-repeat** | - | Stepper +/- buttons support press-and-hold for continuous increment, with keyboard Enter/Space triggering the same behavior. |

--- ## 🔧 Building from Source

Prerequisites

- **Node.js** (v18+) and **npm** - **Rust** toolchain (`rustup`) with the `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` target - **MinGW-w64** - the GNU toolchain for Windows (provides linker, windres, dlltool)

### Setup ```bash git clone https://git.lashman.live/lashman/core-cooldown.git cd core-cooldown npm install ``` ### Linker Configuration Create or edit `src-tauri/.cargo/config.toml` to point to your MinGW installation: ```toml [build] target = "x86_64-pc-windows-gnu" [target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu] linker = "C:/path/to/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe" ar = "C:/path/to/mingw64/bin/ar.exe" ``` ### Development ```bash # Launch with hot-reload npm run tauri dev # Rust check (no full build) cd src-tauri && cargo check # Frontend only (no Tauri shell) npm run dev ``` ### Release Build ```bash npm run tauri build ``` Output: `src-tauri/target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/core-cooldown.exe`
