@adam_saparudin Really sorry about that. I will definitely work on reducing its size in the coming days. For now please spare some extra space for this.

Congratulations! I’ve been using BeFocused for pomodoro almost a year now. It’s basic, but does the job. From what I gathered, the capabilities are similar. A simple no bs pomodoro app. Is there any cool component in sprints that would make me want to switch? Themes maybe?

@vin_dega As you said it's a simple no bs Pomodoro app. I found way too many Pomodoro apps with a lot of cool components like to-do lists, app blocker, fancy clocks even gamified versions that give you rewards after a completion. I never intended to make it like that. My goal was to make it precise, easy to use, less space-consuming, and most importantly sustainable. I found that keeping a completion count of a day in my head pushed me to increase it continuously. And a cool component becomes boring after a time. I can always keep my todo in a todo app, have an app blocker installed, hang a fancy clock above my display, even treat myself with a pubg session if I want. Or putting it in another way things rarely go as planned in a todo, apps can be uninstalled/blocked, time can be found in the time widget, or just avoid games. But I will never find a quicker and clean way to start a timer or watch the count. I am positive if you give it a try you will also find it useful in similar ways because it will adapt with anything you want like the battery or date widget of Mac.

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 :)

Catalina 10.15.5 is outright not allowing to open the app, and there wasn't anything shown in the Security & Privacy settings either. Sounds like a better one than the standard Pomodoro apps and wanted to try.

@askar Sorry about that. I have built the file on 10.15.4 might be because of that. I will update the new build soon.
