A simple focus timer extension, using the pomodoro technique

Minimalist Focus Timer

A Clean and Concise Timer for Productivity

You can get at the chrome web store or the firefox add-on store

Features

• A timer based on the pomodoro technique that runs in the background:
  • Pushes a notification with a simple sound when it is time to take a break or continue working
  • Dynamic extension icon that adjusts as a "pie icon" relative to the current progress of the session
  • Changes the color of the extension icon and popup based on the current session type (focusing / break / long break)
• A settings page that allows you to edit each session length, and the session rounds
• A pause / play button
• A hard reset button (start from session 1)
• A soft reset button (redo current round)
• A "skip timer" button (move to next session)
• Tooltip on buttons that explains what they do
• Toggle the push notification sound

Features to Come

• Customizable colors
• A "raining sound" in the background (toggleable)
• Firefox

Development

• 0 Dependencies!
• ES6 Javascript, HTML5, CSS3
• Copy && Paste manifest_chrome.json or manifest_firefox.json to manifest.json whenever necessary. This is the only manual step needed for development, and thus I thought a build step would be unnecessarily complex for such a simple task.
