TinyTimer

The tiniest, simplest, always-visible-on-screen Pomodoro timer designed for hyperfocus on Windows.

TinyTimer was designed by me, Devon Saliga, to address my frustrations with traditional Pomodoro clocks: they are too large to remain always visible on the screen, bloated with unnecessary features, and have poor UI. TinyTimer solves these issues while sparking joy.

Known Defects (As of 24.02.18):

1. Occasionally hides behind the Windows taskbar

   • Suggested Fix: Increase refresh timing or reposition the timer to avoid overlap with the taskbar or put slightly above taskbar.

2. SLOTH TIME shifts above the taskbar if "Start Time" is not clicked

   • Suggested Fix: Adjust positioning logic to prevent this behavior during idle states.

3. Multiple instances can be opened simultaneously

   • Suggested Fix: Add functionality to restrict launching duplicate instances.

4. TinyTimer icon not showing (Needs investigation)

5. Blocked by Windows Defender

   • Potential workaround: Avoid Windows Defender SmartScreen block.
