Why this exists

A countdown that runs 25 minutes, dings, then runs 5. That is the entire Pomodoro technique, and yet the app stores are full of timers that gate the "premium" interval settings, wedge an ad between focus blocks, or charge $4 a month to mute notifications you never wanted. You are paying rent on a stopwatch. This blueprint hands you your own: describe the timer you want, and minutes later it is yours, running in a browser tab with nothing between you and the next 25 minutes.

What the agent builds

A focus timer with the pieces that make the technique stick: customizable work and break intervals, a circular progress ring that fills as the session runs, audio notifications when a block ends, and a daily stats summary of how many cycles you logged. The timing runs off real timestamps, not a naive counter, so it stays accurate even when the tab sits in the background.

You watch it happen in the task workspace: the agent scaffolds the project, wires the timer, and confirms the ring animates and the sound fires before handing you a live preview. The code lands on a branch in your repository with a pull request ready.

Make it yours

The first version is a base you steer with plain follow-up messages:

  • "Add a long break every fourth work session."
  • "Let me name the task I'm focusing on and log it each cycle."
  • "Add a weekly chart of my focus trend."
  • "Let me pick the alert sound, and add a mute toggle."

Each follow-up wakes the same repository and the agent continues on its own code.

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code? No. You describe the timer you want; the agent writes it, verifies it runs, and ships the code to your repository.

Where do my stats live? In your app, in your repository, stored locally. No account, no tracker watching your day.

Will the timer drift if I switch tabs? No. It tracks elapsed time against real timestamps, so a backgrounded tab won't throw the count off.
