Overview

A visual timer to help you focus on your current task.

This timer is designed to help you be more productive by keeping your fingers on the keyboard. Click the extension icon from your browser to pop a new timer (or bring the existing one into the foreground). Then just type the number of minutes you want the timer to run for and hit Enter. The timer will start as a countdown, filling up as the timer runs so you'll know roughly how much time you have left without breaking your concentration. Once the timer completes, it begins flashing so you know it's complete. If you need to pause the timer, just select the timer popup and hit Space. Space again to resume. If you want to reset the timer (for the previously selected duration) just select the timer popup and hit "R" and it will start over. Cheatsheet for keyboard shortcuts: - 1-999 : Start a timer for that many minutes - R : Reset the timer - Space : Pause/resume the timer - ? : Toggle config mode (where you can set the background color, toggle the "ding") - T : Toggle task mode where you can list your tasks and start a timer for each - > (right angle bracket) : Mark current task done (delete it) and begin next task New in this version (Finally getting to those feature requests): * Set a timer up to 999 minutes (removed limitation of 99 minutes) * Visual fixes in task list (wrapping, general ugliness) * Stay in the flow and jump right to your next task!! Added new keyboard shortcut (">") to mark current task done (deleting it from the task list) and beginning the next task. Thanks to everyone who has commented on the Youtube instructional video to provide feedback and request new features! Last update changes: * Added summary for total minutes/hours in task view. Use this feature to avoid overcommitting. Reset your task list every day and be honest with how much dedicated time for a given day or work session. If a task is big (i.e. more than 45 minutes) break it down into smaller tasks. Keep your "everything" list in another tool (I like TickTick personally) and use this extension only for the things you have to accomplish today.

I like this timer. I like the extra keyboard features it offers. I just wish they were available from the icon as a menu as well. Overall this is a really good timer and the task feature if commendable. Thank you for making a video of your features.

I like one particular feature of this timer, i.e that the remaining time is shown on the taskbar, instead of the need to click on the icon to view it, as in other timers. However, I noticed that sometimes, upon completion, the timer only shows 00.00, or blinks -----/DONE! on the taskbar, and fails to notify with a "ding" bell sound .... until I click on it. I would also prefer that the timer's pop-up appears on the right side (near the icon itself), and provides the option to set the... Show more

This is really nice, you should definitely see the video to get an idea of how to use it. I love that I can use it with the keyboard only! The only exception is the task list which seems to need the mouse?
