Love the break screens! Great idea tapping into the Unsplash API.

@imakestrides Thanks! I should be using their API, haha. Right now I have hand picked the images to go along with the little text that overlays them. But that limits the number of images I can have. I should indeed check out their API and use that instead, give it a much more random feel.

@traviswerbelow That's still cool. Nice MVP approach, and having curated images is nice, so you know they fit the purpose/goal of the app.

Thanks for the hunt @kevinfischer! I made this little focus timer for myself after trying a handful of others that didn't quite work for me. It was a fun little project that I continue to improve and work on. If you try it out, I'd love to hear what you think 🙂

Great work. Thank you. (feature request: optional website blocking while the timer is active)

@jonathangcohen Thanks! I actually just got that same request from a friend, haha. I'll add it to my list :)

Super cool work mate. Congrats! Not crazy about the name though. It may be a bit hard for users to find it out there..

@lyondhur Thanks! Yeah, I might have gotten a bit too creative with the name

@lyondhur @traviswerbelow I just had that same problem - I was trying to remember it so I could upvote and just drew a blank. :) Perhaps you could get better brand recognition if you put a logo on the timer screen & also on the break screens?

Except the naming of it, everything else is pretty cool.

I love this - simple but beautiful. Can I change the sound effect for the ending of a session? The clock ticks are a nice touch! Love the break screens, but the first time it popped up, it was hidden behind another window on a secondary screen so I didn't realize I was supposed to stop working. :) Think I've got the hang of it now though. Thank you!

@travelinjess Thanks! Right now there isn't an option to change the end of a session sound. Good idea for a feature request though! I have added it to my list :)

This is by far the most simple pomodoro app that I've used so far. I just wish it could sync data between multiple computers

Pros:

Very clean and simple

Cons:

It doesn't appear to allow me to sync between multiple computers (e.g. syncing past pomodoros between home computer, laptop, work computer)
