Pomotimer is a minimalist Chrome Extension designed to help you practice the Pomodoro Technique and boost your productivity. It provides simple controls to cycle through work sessions, short breaks, and long breaks, directly from your browser's toolbar.
Key Features:
-
Three Modes: Seamlessly switch between Focus (25 min), Short Rest (5 min), and Long Rest (15 min) modes.
-
Automatic Cycling: Follows a standard Pomodoro cycle: Focus → Rest → Focus → Rest → Focus → Rest → Focus → Long Rest.
-
Notifications: Get an audio alert and a desktop notification when a session ends, even if the popup is closed.
-
Pause/Resume: Control your flow with easy start and stop buttons.
-
State Persistence (Implicit): The timer continues running in the background even if the popup is closed or you switch tabs.
