My Journey to Creating a Pomodoro Timer with Electron

My Journey to Creating a Pomodoro Timer with Electron

  • 10 May 2025

When I first stumbled upon the concept of the Pomodoro Technique, I was intrigued. The idea of breaking work into focused intervals followed by short breaks seemed like a game-changer for my productivity. However, I couldn't find an app that encapsulated all the features I wanted.

🌟 The Inspiration Behind the Timer

This need led me to embark on a project to create a desktop-based Pomodoro timer using Electron. I envisioned a tool that not only helped manage time effectively but also provided customizable features like sound alerts, pause and resume options, and a user-friendly interface.

🎨 Design and Development

The development process was both challenging and rewarding. Armed with Electron, I began implementing features like:

  • Focus and break sessions with sound alerts to notify me when it's time to switch tasks.
  • A tray icon that offered easy access and controls for my timer.
  • Customizable durations for work and break sessions. I poured hours into perfecting the user experience, ensuring it was intuitive and visually appealing.

🖥️ Key Features

The final product turned out to be:

  • Focus & Break Sessions: Clearly defined intervals for work and rest.
  • System Notifications: Loud alerts to grab my attention.
  • Custom Timer Durations: Adaptable through a simple user interface. App Screenshot

🚀 Release and Reception

After several iterations and user testing, I finally released my Pomodoro timer to the public. Sharing it with others felt surreal; it was no longer just a personal project, but a tool intended to help others enhance their productivity.

🌱 Future Aspirations

I realized that while I had created something useful, there’s still so much potential for growth. I’m eager to receive feedback and explore additional features that could be integrated into future versions.
