Floating Pomodoro Timer
A compact countdown timer window that stays visible above your IDE, browser, and documents without stealing window focus.
How to Use the Floating Timer HUD
Keep visual time awareness permanent across all your desktop workspaces:
Click Pop Out
Click the button above to launch an independent, borderless popout window in your browser.
Position in Corner
Drag the floating widget to the corner of your screen or secondary monitor alongside your active code editor.
Stay in Zero-Friction Flow
Never lose track of time. When the sprint concludes, the chime sounds without hijacking your active keyboard input.
"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%."
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.
