A small pomodoro timer web app to help with your time management and tasks

🍅 Pomodoro Timer

A small web-based Pomodoro timer built using ReactJS, Typescript, and some components from the MUI library. It will create a countdown for each pomodoro and will wrap up the interval with a sound effect notifying the user that the next interval is about to begin.

Features

• Standard functionality for a pomodoro timer, focus for 25 minutes, break for 5 minutes, and after 4 focus timers, breaking for 15 minutes
  • Includes an onscreen timer and a sand hourglass-like visual showcasing how much time is left in each pomodoro
  • Also includes the live timer and type of pomodoro in the title bar
  • The timer automatically moves forward to the next pomodoro with a "3..2..1" countdown sound effect
• Includes an option for a "long" pomodoro timer which doubles the focus time to 50 minutes, the break to 10 minutes, and the long break timer to 30 minutes
• A todo list manager to keep track of any tasks within the application. The list also persists on visits, so coming back to the page or refreshing keeps your tasks
• A mini-player for lofi music that plays from the "3 Am. Study Session" album with pause/play functionality and song credits
  • I will probably include more albums in the future to randomize based on the month, or look to include the live lofi videos

Personal Comments

My partner mentioned using pomodoro timers to help her focus on tasks, and I wanted to see if I could program one (even if there are many of these on the internet). Coming from some more experience working with React, I wanted to see if I could flex my skills with my own project while adding Typescript on so that I can practice. Plus in the developer mindset I wanted to see if I could build something relatively in the way that I would want to use it.

Overall I'm very happy with how this came out in such a short period of time. It was fun to play around with the sound effects/music as well as Audio was something that I haven't personally worked with before.
