In the project’s own words, excerpted from the README at the reviewed source revision.

Before you install

  • PicoRunner on an Apple Silicon Mac; tested with 0.3.14 on macOS 26.6.2.
  • Internet access for initial source and dependency download.
  • Timer state, preferences and daily statistics use browser localStorage.
  • No account, backend or external database is needed for the core timer.
  • Notifications are optional and require browser permission; that path is outside this review.
  • Native discovery runs the development server; the proposed production manifest and managed updates were not tested through PicoRunner.
  • Sanity covered natural completion of a one-minute study session, statistics and settings after restart; notifications stayed off.

  • source: Pinned root package declares smart-study-timer, dev: vite; packageManager is absent (null). Exact package and license bytes match the runtime archive.
  • source: Pinned license text identifies MIT.
  • install: Canonical import completed in 16 seconds at attempt zero without manual source patches. Tracked source remained unchanged; PicoRunner metadata was added.
  • launch: PicoRunner selected the root dev script (vite) on its assigned local port; this is native discovery, not the proposed production manifest.
  • health: Installer readiness checks completed and the browser UI was reachable and reloaded during restart checks. Process-level socket ownership was not independently established in every case.
  • smoke: Set Study duration1 minute, disabled completion sound, kept notifications off, switched light theme, started and let session finish naturally. Today sessions1, focus minutes1, cycle1/4, short break ready5:00.
  • restart: After native Stop/Start and page reload: sessions1, focus minutes1, short break mode, Study duration1, light theme, soundoff, notificationsoff retained.
  • cleanup: stopped via PicoRunner; synthetic settings and session statistics retained. No uninstall or synthetic-data deletion is claimed. The linked batch report records the unrelated-app control incident and unexplained existing-port change.
