So far, I have found this as a good pomodoro timer that can also block apps. I liked that I can easily see and set the total session time, not just the interval times. One possible issue I have is that I cannot access any blocked apps when the session is active, particularly during breaks. I wish there was an option to allow access to some or all set blocked apps during breaks. I also wish I could set the break timer to 25 minutes, as I sometimes like to do 55 minutes of work then 25 minute break.

Thanks for the feedback!
Why is there no sound when the time is up?

Overall, it's great, but where is the sound notification or at least the vibration on the watch?
Neat device, full of slop tho.

The device that this is for is really well-designed and manufactured. I am genuinely happy with the device.The firmware is pretty limited, though, and all of the apps are noticeably vibe-coded.All of the audio (including the “music”) is AI slop, though. I wish they’d actually hire people for this rather than just slopping everything, Lord knows it costs enough.
Clean and futuristic timer

Normal timers just don’t work for me, this one combines the pomodero method with a clean and futuristic interface that makes distraction blocking easy. It also gave plenty of options of how I can customize my working schedule
