About this service

For students, freelancers and anyone who works better in short, focused blocks. The program counts down 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of rest, or the intervals you choose, gives a signal and moves to the next block, with a longer break after every fourth. It is a typical ready-made program that we adapt with your details: the default intervals, labels in your language, colours and the signal you prefer, such as a beep, a flashing window or a message. From Standard your settings are kept and each block is logged with a task name; in Premium you get statistics by day, several timers at once, export to a file and an error log. We write it in Python with Tkinter, with a README. It runs while its window is open; it does not block apps or websites and does not sync with your phone.

What is included

• What you getA ZIP archive with the Python code of the ready program adapted with your details, a README on installing Python, running it and building an .exe, and the code shown on the order page. From Standard, settings and a log of blocks saved to CSV or SQLite; in Premium, statistics, export and an error log.

What we need from you

Your intervals (work, short break, long break and after how many blocks), the signal you prefer, whether blocks should be logged with a task name, which statistics you want in Premium, the language of the labels, your colours if you like, your system (Windows, macOS or Linux) and whether you want an .exe.

We will ask you:

• What to log
• Language and look
• Which system will it run on?
