Inspiration

Did you know that humans have an attention span of 20 minutes? That's what my producer told us when we started the 4-day workweek experiment at the company I was on co-op with. In order to increase productivity, he recommended using techniques like pomodoro to regulate how long you work. However, in a busy office, setting a timer to buzz and disturb everyone around you seems like a horrible idea. That's where our visual timer comes in!

What it does

It is a little cat pop-up at the edge of your screen that will set a timer for you, accompanied by cute animations. Whenever the timer runs out, it will display a handy notification that you should take a break.
