Show HN: I couldn't find a good Pomodoro Timer

https://limer.app/
3•optislav•7mo ago
So 3 years ago I decided to build my own, and been using it every day since. For me and a few of my friends, it’s the best in the world. One friend even bought it!

I know there are already 500+ Pomodoro apps out there, and every developer makes their own. But I couldn’t find one with a feature I really need:

- Auto-extend mode: In other apps, I’d often be deep in focus when the timer tells (force) me to rest I’d turn it off and continue working, and forget the timer was even running. The session wouldn't be logged, and that was frustrating.

My timer keeps going until you stop it, and it repeats alarm every 5 minutes (unobtrusively)

Also I made:

- Yearly calendar with green squares (like GitHub contributions chart)

- Presets: Sometimes I don’t want the standard 25-5-25-5-25 flow. Maybe I’m in the mood for 40-10-40-10. I don’t want to open settings every time I built presets you can set once and switch between based on how you feel

- Projects: separately track how much time you spend on work, side projects, or studying, for example

This is my first side project that made it to a public release, and I’d love your feedback. I’ll give away premium for free - just email me at limerapply@gmail.com or discord/tg when your trial ends and I upgrade your account in database. Or, if you have a lot of money and really like the project, you can support me by buying the lifetime version or subscribing

Also, I’d love to hear if the interface (circular stage progress, etc.) makes intuitive sense to you or is it too complicated and I need to simplify?

Thanks for reading, have a great one!

This is really well done!

I love that I can start using it right away without needing to sign up, that’s becoming a rare (but refreshing) design choice. Also big thumbs up for the PWA support, being able to install it on my desktop instantly is a huge plus. The presets and project tracking are super handy too.

Congrats on launching your first public side project! it’s clear you built it with care and actual daily use in mind.

Thanks a lot! This is actually my first "cold" feedback (not from friends). Really motivating!

If you run into any issues or have feature requests, feel free to contact. There are links to the discord/telegram communities inside the app, or you can just email me

I hope this app helps you a lot
