Pomobud is a productivity Chrome extension that helps you stay focused and manage your time effectively using the Pomodoro Technique. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s that uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.
This was made as a fun side project to learn more about the chrome API and polish my Javascript skills. There are one or two issues, maybe I'll get to them!
- Simple and easy-to-use interface
- Customizable Pomodoro timer intervals
- Option to take short or long breaks between Pomodoros
- Desktop notifications to keep you on track
To install Pomobud, follow these steps:
- Download the zip file from the GitHub repository.
