## Story 005: Visual distinction between focus and break

**Persona:** Alex, 31, remote worker, has ADHD and can lose track of whether they are supposed to be focusing or resting. They need the app to make this obvious without reading text.

**Situation:**

Alex glances at the timer mid-session and needs to know instantly: am I in focus time or break time? A color or icon should answer this before their brain even registers they're looking.

**Need:**

As Alex, I want the app to use distinct visual styling for focus vs. break sessions, so that I can know my session type at a glance without reading.

**Acceptance:**
- Focus sessions and break sessions use visibly different color schemes or icons
- The distinction is visible even on a glance — not something I have to study
- Text labels exist but are secondary to the visual signal

**Tier:** enrichment

**Confusion-flags:**
- What's the color/icon strategy? Should it be customizable, or fixed?
- Is this a nice-to-have, or is it load-bearing for some users' ability to use the app at all? (Probably the latter, for neurodivergent users.)
