Pomodoro Timer
Work 25 minutes, break for 5, repeat. Space starts/pauses, R resets. A soft beep tells you when the phase is over — no tab-switching needed.

Why the pomodoro technique works
The technique (named after a tomato-shaped kitchen timer 🍅) works because it converts an open-ended task into a short race. Committing to "just 25 minutes" defeats the dread that causes procrastination, while the guaranteed break keeps attention from fraying — most people can sprint repeatedly all day this way. The rule that matters most: during a work interval, one task only. Every incoming thought goes on a scrap of paper, not into a new browser tab.
The counter treats every 4th break as a long one (15 minutes) — that's when you stand up, stretch, and look at something farther away than your monitor. Your eyes and your focus both need the reset.
