Pomodoro study timer app for macOS
The pomodoro study technique is meant for people who often have trouble focusing. It works by splitting work up into sections of 25 minutes of work, followed by 5 minutes of break. This helps people like me, who have ADHD or trouble focusing, to stay vigilant and on task for the 25 minutes and then have a break after. It's very effective and another benefit is that 25+5 = 30, so it can be blocked in 30 minute / half-an-hour segments. The 25 minutes give you a feasible. balanced amount of both work and break.
I want to create an application designed for macOS users who want to organise their work sessions efficiently using this Pomodoro technique. The app should split work time into 30-minute blocks, composed of 25 minutes of focused work and 5 minutes of rest, displaying a timer on screen of when to start work, and Unlike many of the existing Pomodoro apps available and made for macOS right now, this project aims to offer a wide range of options for end users to configure things like: start and end times, different settings for each day of the week, and personalize the appearance to their needs, more than just a simple dark/light mode.
I've found personally the free ones available for macOS currently are simply not extensive enough and lack customisability, while the paid ones are steeply priced for such a simple app.
The app is built with simplicity and user-centric customisation in mind, addressing the gap in the market where current Pomodoro apps either offer limited features, excessive costs, or confusing user interfaces.
