Perfectly balanced
This app is a wonderful way to keep me from sitting at my computer for hours without a break. It strikes the perfect balance between keeping me aware of the time and not being annoying.

Wonderful app! Saves my back and neck and brain, when I pay attention to it. Seems rock-solid, too -- doesn’t interfere with sometimes sensitive music-creation applications. Thanks so much. Frequent upgrades appreciated.
Great app: This is the way they all should be.
This app has all the functionality I would expect, and more, from a Pomodoro app. I have used this app for many, many months, all-workday-long, and it never, ever fails me. Really great job, guys!
This is so well made
I am surprised at how smooth and how many functionalities it has. Thank you for your creation!
