FAQ

Q: Why is the executable file so darn huge?
A: It is big because we have got over 30 OGG audio files packed in there.

Q: Why did you choose OGG instead of MP3?
A: Well, OGG's got that sweet sound quality, way better than a same-sized MP3 file. Therefore, I don't want your zen or focus to get wrecked by crappy audio. 🧘

[Feature request] Flathub Flatpak release?

Would be nice to have it there, I think. More convenient updates and management.

I'd ask for a native distro repo release, but there are too many of those to manage.
