## #ImplementedFeatures

### #TimerTab
Created the first draft of a standalone timer screen:
- Added `app/(tabs)/timer.tsx`
- Implemented the timer as its own tab while the final task-start flow is still planned
- Used React Native and Expo tab routing conventions already present in the project

---

### #DurationSelector
Implemented a horizontal animated selector for timer durations:
- Uses `Animated.FlatList`
- Supports snap scrolling with `snapToInterval`
- Shows selectable durations from `1` to `60`
- Uses scaled and faded text animation so the centered duration is emphasized
- Updates the selected duration when scrolling ends

---

### #TimerAnimation
Implemented the first timer start animation:
- Added a circular start button
- Button fades and moves down after the timer starts
- Timer overlay animates into view
- Timer overlay then animates out based on the selected duration
- Uses `Animated.sequence` and `useNativeDriver`

---

## #UserInterface

The timer screen includes:
- Full-screen dark background
- Red timer overlay
- Large centered duration numbers
- Circular red start button near the bottom of the screen
- Hidden status bar for a focused timer view

The visual direction is a simple first draft intended to make the timer interaction testable before deeper integration with tasks.

---

## #PlannedIntegration

The in-code note describes the intended next step:
- Keep the timer as a separate tab initially
- Later open the timer when a user starts a task
- Replace the current duration-number area with task information such as:
  - Task name
  - Task description
- Potentially add an animated character or visual element if time allows

## #GitEvidence

The work attributed to Chris is supported by this git log entry:

```text
d50301c  Chris Sanden  2026-04-21  First draft of timer element
```

The commit added one new file:

```text
A  app/(tabs)/timer.tsx
```

The file was later also touched in commit `cb6368a` by `Teodor` on `2026-04-22` as part of broader UI and routing fixes. The original timer implementation documented here is the `d50301c` commit authored by Chris.

---

## #Conclusion

Chris implemented the first functional timer draft for the application. The work established a standalone timer tab, duration selection, animated start behavior, and a clear path for later connecting the timer to task-start workflows.
