First of all, thank you for this app — it's hands-down the best focus-time/Pomodoro app I’ve found.
I have ADHD, and the simplicity and workflow here are exactly what I need. The OLED black screen support is just perfect too.

That said, even with this great setup, I still sometimes struggle to stick to the timers (totally on me, nothing to do with the app). To keep track of my productive time, I manually add or edit sessions in the stats timeline.

Here’s where I run into trouble:
The timestamp/duration logic is a bit hard for me to follow. The current format uses an "end time" (as a timestamp) and a "duration" (in minutes). It’s not immediately clear that the timestamp represents the end time, so I always end up having to calculate the start time in my head by counting backwards — which gets tricky, especially with overlapping entries. My ADHD brain just doesn't click with this reverse logic, and I have to "re-learn" it every time.

Would it be possible to switch to a more classic “start – end – duration” UI instead?
Something where you can input any two of the three (start + duration, start + end, or end + duration), and the app fills in the rest? That would make editing and viewing sessions way more intuitive — at least for me.

I realize this might be a very specific problem (hence the low-priority tag), but if there's an easy way to implement it, it would honestly be a huge help.

Thanks again for the amazing work — this app really is the best out there.
