✨ 3 day streak

About

made cipher.sys — a terminal that self-destructs when your work is done. 5 tasks max. 7-day expiry. scorched earth on completion. no backlog. no cloud. no mercy. i build things with hard constraints because unlimited options is just another name for not deciding. currently: shipping. not managing.

So I made something that only allows 5 tasks
