Website release

1.2.1

Tempo Focus now has a website, alongside smoother entries, a refined Flip Clock, clearer App Blocker controls, and reliability fixes.

Most of this release is about making Tempo feel smoother in daily use. Behind that polish is a larger milestone: Tempo Focus now has its own website.

The website gives the project a dedicated home for explaining how Tempo works, sharing new releases, and communicating where the product is heading. It also makes Tempo easier for more people to discover.
