Tomato Timer: A Productivity Assistant for Efficient Work and Break Intervals
Tomato Timer is a productivity assistant that follows the Pomodoro Technique to help users stay focused and prevent mental fatigue. This Chrome extension allows users to work in 25-minute intervals with short breaks in between. By using a sequence of timers and notifications, Tomato Timer ensures users adhere to the Pomodoro Technique effectively.
With Tomato Mode, users can activate an endless timer sequence that alternates between work and break intervals. When a timer runs out, a window opens automatically to notify users. From the extension's pop-up, users can toggle Tomato Mode, check the timer status, and pause or resume the timer.
During breaks, Tomato Timer provides suggestions for activities in a new tab that opens automatically. Additionally, users are alerted with a window when it's time to get back to work. To ensure users are promptly notified, a doorbell sound plays when a timer runs out.
Notably, every fourth break is extended to 15 minutes, allowing users extra time to recharge after completing four work cycles. Tomato Timer is a valuable tool for enhancing productivity and maintaining focus during work sessions.
