Sprints

In these quarantine times, I found it difficult to focus on a specific task. And when I did try hard to focus I got stressed out after a few hours. I found the Pomodoro technique to be quite helpful. It gave me a time slot between which I had to complete a task, followed by a break to clear my mind. Another thing I struggled a lot is with changing context between different tasks, most of the time I worked on a single thing a day. This technique helped in that too because of the work, break, work structure. I used the stopwatch on my phone to do this. It was fast. I wanted something like that in my Mac on the menubar. Never found something that can be started with just a keyboard shortcut from anywhere. Like that Sprints was created. Also when I used my phone I used to keep track of the number of times I completed a sprint by which I could measure my actual effective amount of time I put into my work that day along with tracking my day to day productivity. The counter is a new thing that I added, hope you will also find it useful in similar ways.

Definitely helps to improve focus on a single task at a time.

Great for performance tracking, I am gonna definitely use it for increasing my productivity. Its more useful in this covid-19 situation when most of the people are working from home.

True having something on the system you are working on is better than phone. As soon as I pick up my phone there are notifications which take up my time :P. Thanks for building this :)

This is really helpful. 👏🏼

Nice! Makes it easy to just have something always on the mac to track rather than having to use a website or your phone

Makes a lot of sense in the current scenario, where work from home has become the new normal, it has increased work hours while decreasing productivity. Such an app would help in making sure that when running my sprints my focus is on point. Really great app.
