Why this matters
v5.0.0 is not a tweak. The onboarding flow was rebuilt from the ground up so new users land in a clearer, calmer atmosphere before their first session starts. The UI/UX overhaul touches most of the app: spacing, transitions, visual hierarchy and the way the Goblin reacts to what you do during a session.
Focus Shards replace a placeholder progression system with something real. Every session earns Shards, and Shards unlock milestones. The Goblin now reacts more accurately to your behavior, whether you're on a streak, slipping, or coming back after a rough day.
Shield flows are cleaner under the hood. Interruption handling is more predictable and the finish-session path has fewer dead ends. If you've been using CogniFocus for a while, this one should feel noticeably different.
