Time's up

This is a simple app to use when doing timeboxing activities.

Why another timer for timeboxing?

I wanted to experiment with electron and I wanted an app that would give me 3 things:

1. a timer
2. a way to block the screen when the timer is over (I wanted somthing that would literally make me stop)
3. a way to store data about my activities (a very simple storage.json file in the app folder at the moment)

Point 2. is less invasive than I'd like it, but it's enough for making you stop. Basically it will open a full screen window that will cover whatever you have on the screen. To close it you have to click the "close me" link :)

How does it look?

This is the selection for your timer

and this is the overlay when the time is up :)

there is also a view for the recorder activities
