A Pomodoro timer that does not force the break
When a Pomororo focus block ends, the timer stops and asks what you want next. It does not start a break on its own unless you turn that option on.
You choose the next step
The completion choices are a break, five or ten more minutes, another focus block, or marking the task done. The block is over. The next action is yours.
Auto-start stays off until you enable it
Settings include auto-start break and auto-start next focus. Both are off by default, so a finished block waits instead of moving you into a break.
Five minutes before the bell
While focus is running or paused, +5 min is on the timer and * adds five minutes. The countdown continues from the new remaining time.
