With the basic window manager up and running, Phase 2 was all about bringing functional detective utilities to the desktop. I created Patrick’s Tea Lounge, a built-in focus timer widget with steep presets (Earl Grey, Green Tea, Chamomile) and Web Audio API chimes to fulfill the unlisted extra feature requirement. Next, I designed the Evidence Pinboard app using corkboard textures, polaroid cards, and status tags. To make the system feel truly functional, I built the Encrypted Field Notes application. I wired it directly up to local storage so draft notes automatically save and persist even if you refresh the browser, and added a timestamped archive system so notes can be saved and reloaded later.
