Clock0doro: The pomodoro timer

Hi!

Have you ever wondered why there is no good free Pomodoro timer available? Have you felt frustrated by this? Me too.

I have decided to create my own Pomodoro Timer. Not just any Pomodoro Timer, but a good enough one that I can use for a long time. I have been using this Pomodoro timer for the past 10 months (Since Feb 2023) and I love it. It has helped me improve my time management skills and I use it almost every day. Today, I thought of sharing it with you so that you can also benefit from it.

What I wanted is…

I am looking for a simple timer that is always on top and can be toggled. It should have both audio and visual indicators, without any pop-ups, and should run for 25+5 minutes in classical mode. I want to be able to pause and stop it, as well as choose between a forced break or work time. Additionally, it should display the remaining time on an analog clock and have a progress bar. I wanted the stop bell to be annoying to force me stop working, and a sufficiently good work bell.

Oh and a bonus would be to synchronize with the time, so that I start work at minute 0 and 30!

Simple yet efficient:

You have start/pause button is what you’ll probably be using at most. Probably “Sync” (S) button to synchronize with the analog clock. You can force work or break (B) time. You can also toggle top-most (T). Sounds on the top right if you want. simple buttons.
