Hard Graft is a focus timer that treats you like a grownup. No pomodoros, no break bells, no trees. Clock on, work as long as you like, clock off. Rolling seven-day hours set your rank on a 24-step ladder, from DEAD WEIGHT up. Ease off and you slide back down. The Regulator, a machine with no interest in your excuses, hands out promotions and demotions. Tag hours to jobs, collect 40 achievements, or switch to quiet mode for a plain stopwatch. No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription.
