Field notes
The browser rehearsal uses a pretend feed and ticket to walk through the app’s interruption-and-unlock sequence; it is described as taking about a minute. The page gives examples ranging from a step count or QR code placed in the kitchen to vacuum detection, which it says records nothing. It also says each Pool’s unused extra time disappears overnight.
