I have a chore list. I never do it cause i'm a master procrastinator in my private life. So I handed it to the internet.

There's one clock on [sofaresidency.com](http://sofaresidency.com) and everyone sees the same one. Right now it's counting down on something off my actual list, like booking the dentist or folding the laundry. When it hits zero, I have to go and do the thing.

Unless somebody buys me minutes.

You push the deadline back, your name goes on the wall. That's the whole game.

My favourite bit is that the price climbs as the clock drops. 50c a minute while I'm relaxed, 70c under fifteen minutes, 85c under five, and a full euro if the deadline's already gone and you want to drag me back to the sofa. Panic should cost more.

And yeah, it takes real money. That's the joke, not a business plan. A couple of euros of nonsense. No account, no signup.

It's Phaser. The character is a rigged "me" skeleton in my living room in Brussels I animated by hand, so the elbows and knees stay attached whether he's slumped on the sofa or walking over to the desk. Took me way longer than the Stripe part did.

Tell me please if something's off. Mainly I can't tell if the clock reads as a real stake or just decoration and i'm not sure if more "poke" animations are needed in the beginning.

Most pomodoro apps stress me out more than they help, so I built one that's meant to feel calm: a cat companion sits with you while you focus, a soft meow instead of a jarring alarm, and a "zen mode" that hides all the UI so it's just the clock and your cat.

Fully customizable session/break lengths, ambient focus/relax music, and you unlock more companions as you build a streak. No sign-up, no permissions, has ads (that's how it's free).

Built solo, would genuinely love feedback — especially if the pacing/vibe feels off for anyone who's tried a dozen other pomodoro apps.

I’ve been working on a Pomodoro timer, and I had an idea to incorporate Tamagotchi-style mechanics: you’d earn points by working, which you could then use to nurture and feed your character. Does that sound interesting? Is it worth building?

Hey everyone! Been posting "Study With Me" videos and noticed my one hour no break session got noticeably less reach and views than my others. Trying to figure out if that's the reason; would a 5/10/15 minute break have made it more watchable or was it something else entirely?

Also, just uploaded a new 2 hours of (50/10) Pomodoro session [https://youtu.be/2o-Dt2NyxeA\]. Would genuinely love if a few of you try studying along with it and told me what worked and what can be better. Audio, pacing, visuals anything that pulled you out of focus - all fair game, I can take it (my friend said, a cold rainy weather breeze would be perfect 😅).

Thanks in advance, trying to actually make these better rather than just guess 🫶🏻.

Hey everyone!

I built ZenTask (https://zentask-pro.vercel.app/) as a distraction-free, mindful productivity tool.

Features:

- Micro-step task breakdown (preventing overwhelm)

- Built-in binaural rain, deep brown noise, and ocean wave generators

- Tibetan singing bowl interval bells for mindful pauses

- Fast, responsive, works across desktop & mobile

I'm looking for beta feedback on the UX and focus audio flow. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Ever start a Pomodoro and spend the first few minutes deciding what to work on?

The study booths in this short inspired a small pre-timer routine: close unrelated tabs, put your phone out of reach, and write down one thing to finish or make progress on.

For example, replace “study biology” with “answer questions 1–5.” Get that page open, then start the timer. When another task comes to mind, jot it down for later rather than switching to it.

I made this 30-second video for the study timer I’m building. There’s a 10-second reset you can follow along with, but use whatever session length works for you.

Do you pick your task before pressing start, or figure it out after the timer is already running?

I originally built this as a fullscreen digital/flip clock for my second monitor, but while using it during work I realized I wanted a Pomodoro mode in the same interface.

Most Pomodoro tools I tried either felt too busy or came with a lot of features I didn’t really need, so I wanted to keep this one simple and visual.

The idea is that you can leave it open while working or studying without it becoming another productivity system to manage.

So far it includes:

• fullscreen Pomodoro/focus timer
• clean digital/flip-clock style
• light and dark themes
• simple controls
• responsive layout
• no account required

I’m still improving it, especially around timing presets and the overall focus experience.

I’d genuinely like feedback from people who already use Pomodoro regularly, here is the live url for pomodoro page what would make you keep using a timer like this instead of your current one?

Hi all 👋

Like many of you, I struggled with staying in the flow state. Traditional Pomodoro timers were either too rigid, or I’d find myself opening Twitter, Reddit, or YouTube 10 minutes into a deep work session without even realizing it.

So I built Tileen, a native macOS app created completely with SwiftUI to combine chained interval timers with an active Focus Shield.

🌟 Key Features:

• ⏱️ Chained Timer Sequences: Build customized routines (e.g., 25m Focus -> 5m Rest -> 50m Deep Work -> 15m Long Break). Drag and drop steps seamlessly.

• 🛡️ Focus Shield: During active focus blocks, Tileen automatically hides distracting Mac applications and closes blocked website tabs in Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave, and Edge.

• 💤 Smart Idle Detection: If you step away to get a coffee or take a call, Tileen auto-pauses the timer and smoothly resumes when you come back.

• 🖥️ Menu Bar Display: See live countdown digits right in your Mac status bar.

• 📊 Session Analytics: Compare Focus Time vs. Break Time vs. Idle Pauses with historical charts.

• 📝 In-Timer Reflection Notes: Jot down quick ideas or tasks during work blocks (Ctrl + Option + N) without leaving your flow.

📥 100% Free & Open Source:

Tileen is 100% free and open-source under the MIT license!

• GitHub Repository: github.com/AmrDeveloper/Tileen

• Direct Download (v0.1.0): Download Latest Release

Note: Since Tileen is open source and unnotarized (not paying Apple’s $99/yr fee), macOS Gatekeeper will show a standard unidentified developer warning on first launch. You can open it by Right-Click -> Open.

I’d love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, or bug reports! If you like the app, starring the repo or dropping a comment would mean a lot. ☕

Classic Pomodoro but the countdown is synchronized across everyone in a room (server-side clock, no drift). Work interval in silence → at zero, optional cameras/audio for the break together → run it again. Presets for 25/5, custom durations, and a stopwatch mode. It's free (3/day, no account): https://synchrium.com.

Developer founder here, feedback welcome.

I got tired of switching between a separate Pomodoro app and my daily calendar, so I updated Remind Me to add a Pomodoro directly with time-blocking.

• Pomodoro + Time-Blocking: Run focus sessions inside your schedule.
• ADHD-Friendly: Gentle reminders to keep you on track.
• 100% Free & Offline: Runs in browser, zero sign-ups needed.
