Most clocks lie.
They show 24 hours—but after sleep, work, and obligations, your real free time is often just a few hours. Ration makes that number impossible to ignore.
Ration is a home-screen instrument for your actual agency: the minutes you have left today for yourself. No to-do lists. No streaks. No feeds. Just honest math and widgets that stay in your face.
WHY RATION IS DIFFERENT
• Scarcity, not productivity theater — When a big clock says 4:00 PM, you feel rich. When your Ration says 01:26, you act like it.
• Reality Cap — Ration never shows more time than you truly have until sleep. Waste your morning? You don't get phantom minutes back at night.
• Digital stoicism — High-contrast, instrument-style design inspired by Braun and tactical gauges. Built to inform, not addict.
HOW IT WORKS
1. The Bank — Set wake and sleep boundaries.
2. The Tax — Add fixed work hours (and optional calendar events).
3. The Friction — Pro users tune Entropy: the realistic "leak" from context switching, delays, and daily chaos.
4. The Ration — See exactly how many minutes of free agency remain today.
HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
• Ration Dashboard (4×2) — FREE — Daily timeline with Sleep, Work, and Ration blocks, remaining time, and flip to macro goal progress.
• Ration Gauge (2×2) — PRO — Circular segmented dial for at-a-glance scarcity on your home screen.
Double-tap the left side of either widget to open System Config.
MACRO GOAL
Name a target and date—"21 days until Japan," a launch, a race—and track progress on your widget flip face. Progress stays coherent when you adjust dates; your anchor is set on first save.
