Love the simplicity and design! You should consider making this into a Chrome/Firefox plugin. It would be nice to start and stop from the browser instead of keeping the website running on a separate tab.

@haydmills Thanks for the comment. I've never thought about that, but that idea sounds great. I will check it out and see what I can do.

Love the simplicity of this product. Great job! You know what would be a nice feature? To have it display a web notification when the timer hits 0. This is because I know people (and sometimes I do too) that work listening to music on their headphones plugged into their phones or other media player. So the chime could be easily missed.

@jorge_dieguez Thank you for the advice. Oh yes, that's true. That feature will definitely be added soon :) https://developer.mozilla.org/en...

Look forward to trying it out this week! Just curious, what'd you build the UI in? Looks beautiful!

@grahampark Thank you! The frontend is built it with React and Styled Component.

@uzu_yuya Nice! I'm just starting to get into front end and hadn't heard of Styled Component. I'll have to check it out, thanks!

I LOVE THIS APP. Thank you for creating this. I especially appreciate how you have built specific tasks and projects into the app for tracking and reporting. This is excellent work. This is coming from a 20+ year UX/UI expert. Keep doing what you are doing. Keep it simple and focused, always. Beautiful job.

@benke Wow, thank you for the encouraging comment!

This is a very nice app! Why don't you have a short description or video (on PH or on the web app) explaining the concept and how to use the app?

@hrishikesh1990 Thank you for your feedback! Yes, that's definitely needed. I will add it on the website :)

@uzu_yuya I have been using it quite a bit lately. Love the simple design. Is there a plan to release it as a browser extension? That would be really helpful.

@shreya_r_nambiar Hi, at the moment, I'm not thinking about releasing browser extension. If you want the timer to be visible all the time, I recommend you to download the app version. It can be minimized and stays in front of all the other windows.

@shreya_r_nambiar oh, it can be downloaded from the bottom section of the page https://pomofocus.io

I have created this app to help users focus on any activity they have committed to do. Although this is a web-based app, it remembers your setting and saved activities. So, configure the app to suit your preference. If you like it or not, please do not hesitate to reach me out. I really want to hear your feedback.

Simple tool that does just what it says. Love the brand and the product design. Nice work Uzu!

I love this product! but I encounter 502 gateway error today. I tried to clear cookies or restart my computer, it ended up remaining the same page.

@okpersist Thank you for the message. I accidentally broke the site yesterday, but it should be fixed now. Could you kindly check again?

@uzu_yuya You did a really cool job, Primarily I've been looking for a good (UX/UI) extension for Chrome, however, once I've found It, I think even better, cause I can easily pin this tab

@vlad_vi Thank you so much!!

Aloha Uzu! I was so excited to find your app yesterday. I logged in, downloaded it, and used it all day yesterday and today. I went to look at the report and there was no data. It said to login to see reports. Logged in. Now all my tasks were gone and no data. Can you help me figure out how to avoid this in the future? Why wasn't my data saved on my computer or transferred to online? Thank you for making this app.
Yuya Uzu
Maker
@jenniferjackson85 Sorry for the late reply. I haven't logged in to PH for a while. When you are not logged in, all the task data are saved on your browser and not on your account. That's why you are seeing different tasks when you login. There is a separation there. Although, I'm thinking about making changes so that it will transfer the tasks to the account on the first sign up.

@uzu_yuya Can you add an option to change color of background instead of just red?
Yuya Uzu
Maker
@kevdeveloper Actually, I would like to leave the background color to red because that is a part of the application design and it has a meaning. Thank you for the comment anyway.

Hello @uzu_yuya, I've been using the app for the last couple of days. There is nothing much to invent in a pomodoro timer, but I love the simple design! :) It happened to me couple of times, that I accidentally closed a tab with a running timer. After restoring it (Ctrl+Shift+T in Chrome, I think it's the same in Firefox) the timer is reset. It would be nice if the app was able to 'restore' its state in such a case or just prevent user from accidentally closing it. Nevertheless, thanks again. Good job! :)

@zbicin Hi, thank you for your feedback. I agree that closing the browser accidentally happens sometimes. I will consider adding "preventing from accidentally closing the tab" feature someway. Thank you :)
Tamalika Mukherjee
Love this product and the new features, especially the one where I can see the report for number of hours worked in a year vs week vs day. It would be cool to be able to save the task list or to download the task list for the day.

@tammukh Hi, thank you for the comment!! What do you mean by "save the task list"? It is kind of saved. If you add a new task, it will persist until you delete it.
