Pomadoro Timer
Tool that increase productivity
Over the summer of 2023, I seized the opportunity to learn SwiftUI. During this time, I discovered a lack of good Pomodoro timers for the Apple Watch, prompting me to develop one myself. I opted for a minimalistic approach and adhered closely to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

Pomadoro Principle
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It's a simple yet effective way to improve focus and productivity by breaking work into intervals separated by short breaks. Here's how it typically works:
Set Timer: Choose a task and set a timer for 25 minutes (a "Pomodoro").
Work: Focus solely on the task until the timer rings.
Short Break: Take a 5-minute break after each Pomodoro.
Repeat: Start another Pomodoro, then take a longer break (15-30 minutes) after four Pomodoros.
This technique helps maintain focus and avoid burnout by balancing work with regular breaks. Adjust intervals as needed.
Ticking Clock Sound
American scientists from the University of Florida have proven that the ticking sound of the clock increases concentration on tasks and deprives the brain of unnecessary thoughts.
Pomadoro app during 25 minutes of concentration makes light vibrations and the ticking sound of the clock every second.
