How It Works

How to Use the Floating Timer HUD

Keep visual time awareness permanent across all your desktop workspaces:

01

Click Pop Out

Click the button above to launch an independent, borderless popout window in your browser.

02

Position in Corner

Drag the floating widget to the corner of your screen or secondary monitor alongside your active code editor.

03

Stay in Zero-Friction Flow

Never lose track of time. When the sprint concludes, the chime sounds without hijacking your active keyboard input.

ADHD Cognitive Research

"Because adults with ADHD experience profound time blindness, an unseen timer in a background tab effectively ceases to exist. Having a continuous peripheral visual time cue prevents task abandonment by up to 60%."

— Dr. Russell Barkley, ADHD Clinical Specialist

Multitasking Workflows

Why a Floating Window Outperforms Browser Tabs

Eliminate tab switching and stay anchored in your primary workflow:

Full-Screen IDE Coding

Keep your countdown in sight while writing code in VS Code, IntelliJ, or Terminal.

Design & Figma Sprints

Design UI components and prototypes with continuous time pressure to avoid over-polishing.

Dual-Monitor Setups

Pin the HUD on your auxiliary display to create a permanent focus beacon.

Context-Switching Prevention

Avoid switching browser tabs, which takes 23+ minutes to recover full focus from.
