# Pomodoro Timer A minimalist pomodoro timer for Scratch. A pomodoro timer is a timer which allows you to work while the timer is running, and after the timer, you can have a small break. # Features - timer - breaks - health bar - notifications - breathing exercise - two modes - different backgrounds - more options # How to Use Use the arrows to change the length of the pomodoro in minutes. Once you're ready, you can click on the centre circle to start. You must do your work during the pomodoro, then you can have a break after it finishes. If the circle is green, the pomodoro is running. If it's red, it is paused and you must concentrate (only in hover-only mode). A blue circle means you're having a break. This pomodoro also comes with a health bar, so you can see how long you procrastinated. Every 5 seconds of procrastination, you lose health. The loss of health depends upon what mode you're currently using. # Settings The settings menu can be opened by hovering over the lower-right hand corner. - **show health bar**: toggles whether or not you can see the health bar. - **hover-only mode**: toggles the mode between default and hover-only. More information below. - **pomodoros until long break**: how many pomodoros you should do before you can have a long break. - **short break length**: how long, in minutes, a short break should last. - **long break length**: how long, in minutes, a long break should last. - **background sounds**: white noise or lo-fi hip hop which can help you concentrate. - **circles**: choose what background color you want. # Modes ### Default Mode In the default mode, you can do everything as usual. This is useful for any kinds of work, may it be physical or in the computer. If you're taking a break, hover your cursor on the heart. Taking a long break may make you lose your health. ### Hover-only Mode If you're on desktop and your work isn't on the computer, hover mode is the best choice. You must keep your cursor on the circle, otherwise your health bar gets lower. # Versions - ### 2.0 - Polished the settings menu design. - The background can only be changed in the settings menu. - Settings menu is finished. - Removed 'hide health bar' animation. - ## 1.8 - 30/01/21 - Fixed bugs for settings. - Made setting variables into cloud variables. - Settings can only be closed with icon. - Added break settings. - ### 1.6 - 30/01/21 - Changed settings menu design. - Added background noise options. - Added lofi and white noise music. - Settings menu is hidden most times. - ### 1.5 - 29/01/21 - Added a break. - You still cannot change break settings. - How many pomodoros to a long break. - Long break length. - Short break length. - Fixed minor bugs. - ### 1.0 - 28/01/21 - Finalised design and buttons. - Added default mode for those who work on the device. - Added two switches. - You can now hide the health bar. - Made sure the circle is green instead of red before the start of the pomodoro. - You can now use the timer again and again without restarting. - Made settings more accessible. - ### < 1 - 17/01/21 - Created scratch project and added some features to it. - Simple pomodoro timer. - Hover-only mode. --- Made for myself to stop procrastination.
