Unless you keep your browser tab open, you can’t see it. A “gauge” icon in the browser bar would be enough to actually be in view without being distracting. Repackaging as a plug-in would give you a tab-free icon.

- rpastuszak 4y agoScreen-level overlays work nicely if you can take the native route (or use sth like Tauri). I have a goat showing up on the screen at random intervals and telling the to slow the fuck down when I speak: https://twitter.com/rafalpast/status/1272945933228167169 https://twitter.com/rafalpast/status/1272945933228167169 For time management I'm using Be Focused (always visible + sound cues)
- myhf 4y agoYes, time display in the window title can be nice. I made a simple web app for a similar purpose, that demonstrates the technique: http://pclock.github.io/ http://pclock.github.io/ based on an old flash app: https://davidseah.com/2007/01/a-chindogu-clock-for-procrastinators/ https://davidseah.com/2007/01/a-chindogu-clock-for-procrasti...
- peebeebee 4y agoIndeed. Here is a very lightweight demo I did with this: https://pipodoro.vercel.app https://pipodoro.vercel.app Code can be found on https://github.com/peebeebee/pipodoro https://github.com/peebeebee/pipodoro
