The README leads with the thing that is actually different about this app rather than burying it: Calendula and Agendula front standards someone else maintains, and Clockula cannot, because there is no open provider behind a clock. Saying so plainly is better than implying a thesis the app does not meet — and the three things that replace it (the AlarmClock contract, IANA zones, an exportable format) are real commitments, not consolation. CONTRIBUTING's scope section now names the trade this project will not make: nothing ships that buys a feature by making an alarm less certain to ring.

Clockula — documentation
Clockula is a Material 3 Expressive clock app for Android — alarms, timers,
stopwatch and world clock. Third floret of the bloom, after
Calendula (calendar) and
Agendula (tasks). See the top-level
../README.md for the pitch.
Unlike its siblings, Clockula owns its storage — there is no open provider behind
a clock. What that costs and how the open-standards commitment is honoured anyway
is the first section of PLAN.md.
Index
| Doc | What it covers |
|---|---|
PLAN.md |
The spec. Thesis, locked decisions, the alarm engine, data model, system interop, identity, pipeline, and how ClockMaster is used. The "why". |
ROADMAP.md |
Status and the work queue — milestones M0–M11 and post-v1. What the build loop works through. |
ARCHITECTURE.md |
How Clockula is built today — layers, the data seam, the alarm engine, DI, build/tooling, manifest. Written from M2 onward. |
RELEASING.md |
How to cut a release. Written at M0 alongside the pipeline. |
PROVENANCE.md |
Any third-party code carried in-tree and under what licence. Created only if we actually lift something (PLAN.md §11). |
Also: ../CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format; tag sections
feed the release notes).
How the docs relate
- PLAN is the design decisions (stable; the "why").
- ARCHITECTURE is the current shape of the code (kept in sync as it grows).
- ROADMAP is the moving status layer (updated as milestones land).
- RELEASING is the operational runbook.
