Tomato Timer

A productivity timer modeled after the Pomodoro Technique that alerts users when it is time to work and take breaks

This extension is a productivity assistant modeled after the Pomodoro Technique. This is a technique where people work in 25-minute intervals and take short breaks in between each one. This technique is quite helpful for preventing procrastination and mental fatigue. This extension uses a sequence of timers and notifications to help its users follow the Pomodoro Technique. Users can turn on an endless timer sequence that switches between a work timer and a break timer. Whenever a timer runs out, users are notified with a window that opens automatically. From the extension's pop-up, users can toggle the timer on, check the timer status, and pause or resume the timer. During breaks, the extension provides suggestions for what the user could do in a new tab that opens automatically when the timer runs out. When it's time to get to work, the user is also notified with a window that opens automatically. To make sure users are properly alerted, a doorbell sound will play whenever a timer runs out. Breaks are 5 minutes long.
