The most important tool for AI-assisted coding isn't an agent framework. It's a timer that forces you to take regular breaks.
Back in 2010 Chetan Surpur introduced the Magic Work Cycle productivity technique. The idea: 30 min focused work, 30 min genuine break.

Regular breaks trigger diffused mode thinking, where the brain subconsciously makes connections that lead to "aha!" moments.
I built a completely free iOS and Apple Watch app for this. Maybe others find it useful too.
