🍅 Pomodoro Buddy

The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. When the timer starts, you'll be in Focus Mode, and when the break time hits, you'll automatically get suggestions for short activities!

How it works:

• Click Start to begin your focus session
• Work until the timer reaches zero
• Take a break when prompted
• Repeat to build consistent focus habits!

Type in what you're working on (e.g., "Finish Chapter 3" or "Code Review") and start the timer. You'll be able to focus better with clear goals for each session!

Pro tip: Be specific! Instead of "Work on project", try "Complete API documentation" - it helps your brain focus on a concrete goal.

Choose from the following presets to match your work style:

• Quick Focus (15/5) - Ideal for short, intense bursts of work. Perfect for quick tasks or when you're short on time!
• Classic (25/5) - The standard Pomodoro interval: 25 minutes of focus, followed by a 5-minute break. Great for most tasks!
• Deep Work (50/10) - Perfect for deep, uninterrupted focus. Use this when you need to dive deep into complex problems!

After every 4 focus sessions, you'll get a longer break to recharge! 🎉

After a focus session, take a break! Here are some suggestions that will appear:

• 💧 Hydrate! Drink some water - your brain needs it!
• 🧘 Breathe - Take 5 deep breaths to reset
• 🚶 Walk around - Get your blood flowing with a 2-minute walk
• 👀 Eye rest - Look at something 20 feet away to rest your eyes
• 🤸 Stretch - Do a quick stretch to release tension
• 🎵 Music - Listen to a favorite song to recharge

These suggestions are randomized each break, so you'll always get fresh ideas!

If you get distracted during focus time, click the "I got distracted" button and log your distraction type. This helps you track how often distractions occur and identify patterns!

Available distraction types:

• TikTok, YouTube, Texts, Snack, Random, or Other

Your distraction data is tracked weekly so you can see your top distractors and work on reducing them!
