v1.0.0 — Interval Timer
Interval Timer — first release 🎉
A desktop interval/countdown timer for Windows, built for work/break cycles (Pomodoro-style), with alarms that can play a local sound file, a YouTube video, or a Spotify track.
Features
- Interval Timer — configurable work/break durations and loop count, with a running phase/status display.
- Countdown Timer — a simple one-shot timer, separate from the interval loop.
- Presets — save and switch between named timer configurations; three seeded defaults (Pomodoro, Short Focus, Deep Work) plus up to 20 of your own.
- Alarm sources — local audio file, YouTube video/URL, or Spotify track, with automatic fallback to the local alarm if a source fails to load or play.
- Pause / Continue — every alarm source resumes correctly rather than losing its duration cap or restarting from zero.
- Mini window — a small always-on-top window that mirrors and controls the active timer, and stays above other apps even when they go fullscreen.
- System tray — runs in the tray and keeps ticking in the background.
Installation
Download Interval Timer Setup 1.0.0.exe below and run it. No Node.js or build tools required.
Note: this installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will likely show an "Unknown publisher" warning on first run — click More info → Run anyway to proceed. This is expected for an unsigned indie app and not a sign of anything wrong with the download.
Known limitations
- Spotify alarms currently have no reliable preview clip playback — full-track playback needs Widevine support that stock Electron doesn't ship.
- No auto-update yet — future versions will need to be downloaded manually from this Releases page.
- Windows only.
