Converted me from Pomodoro Method
As a longtime pomodoro technique user I really appreciate all the improvements this app makes over the usual alarm-style apps. I may actually be converted to 20-20-20…here’s why.
First, the UX of the notifications are really great! These are strong prompts that you can’t put off. They’re screensized and they shout at you to take a pause. You can’t miss these.
Next there’s the continuous timer aspect of this. I’ll forget to operate my current pomodoro app. But with this, the timer continues into the next cycle automatically as soon as you dismiss the prompts. This really helps move me move along with my work with minimal operation of the app. Two thumbs up for that.
Finally 20 seconds... Is this the perfect breaktime? Do I miss my 5-minute pomodoros? I’ll be honest, I sometimes get super sidetracked in my 5 minute pomodoro breaks. 20 seconds is just long enough for me to stand up, walk around while looking across the office to relieve eye strain and sit back down to resume work. No risk of ADD kicking in, just a healthy break.
