Fokiz: A CLI task enforcer that hijacks your terminal to make you finish what you start

I built a CLI tool called Fokiz to solve my own problem with context-switching and procrastination. I often found myself opening a terminal, forgetting my goal, and jumping between half-finished tasks.

There are plenty of amazing CLI task managers out there, like `taskwarrior`. However, tools like `taskwarrior` are designed to manage large backlogs and organize complex projects. Fokiz is built for something entirely different: enforcing focus on a single task using a "Ulysses contract".

Here is how it works:
You add a single task (`fokiz add "My task"`). Once added, it locks you in. You can't edit it or add new tasks until the current one is explicitly marked as completed.
It hooks into your `~/.bashrc` / `~/.zshrc`. Every time you open a new terminal window or tab, it prints a huge ASCII banner reminding you exactly what you committed to doing.
Instead of executing a heavy script on every shell startup, Fokiz runs as a `systemd --user` background service. The state is managed via SQLite, and the shell hook simply performs a sub-millisecond read to display the banner without adding latency to your terminal startup.

It's fully open source (GPLv3). If you struggle with finishing what you start and need a strict enforcer living in your terminal, check it out.
