Pomodoro Break timer

[Fenny 🦊 💗 🐾]

I really love the Pomodoro Timer feature but I feel like it would be really helpful if the timer also kept track of the 5 minute break after a session (if you're only using single-session settings)! I use this tool to study complex subjects like surgery and internal medicine and while it's hard for me to determine how many Pomodoro sessions I'll do in advance I'd really like to be able to track my breaks as well, otherwise I tend to get lost in time and my 5 minute break turns into a 20 minute break..

Update:
Okay. Played around a little bit. So Break track is there when using timer loops. single-session settings won't work. This Timer design is confusing. The alarm sound could be improved too.

Totally agree. A break track is needed.

Is there an alarm sound when the timer is done? I didn't catch one.

There is. It's very similar to the starting one although if your music is loud then you'll easily miss it as it's a faint "cooking timer" like ding.

How did you set up loops? My timer just goes one-and-done.

I came to the forum to see if this exact thing was bothering anyone else, or if I was doing something wrong! I would also like a more defined 5 minute break timer. Maybe even another ding would do it.

Just place your move over the timer session. Hovering it will make the session button - and + appear.

You should obtain something like that : ]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3297032053

I think how to fix this is if for each end of a timer (whether this is a worksession that finishes or a breaksession that finishes) if there was a popup that asks you to click it before the next timer starts. For example, you work for 25 mins, then before your break starts, it makes an alarm sound and then asks you "Are you ready for your break?" so that you actually get the chance to stop working and not accidentally miss out on your break. Then with breaks the same happens: When your five minute break is over, you get a poppup forcing you to be back from your break (Cuz breaks are when you tend to get up and walk away from your computer, so i only miss the end of my breaks cuz i dont hear when a break is over!) so a LOUD alarmsound keeps ringing and when youre back you have a popup asking if youre ready to get back to work. As soon as you click yes, the alarm stops and the new workblock starts.
