FocusTide
FocusTide is a browser-based Pomodoro timer for organizing work sessions and breaks. Its work period starts at 25 minutes, with adjustable session lengths, built-in presets, and controls for how often long breaks occur. At the end of a section, the timer can continue, stop, or move to the next section; automatic break starts are available. It can track time beyond expiration and display time with seconds, minutes, or percentages. A space-key shortcut starts or pauses timing, while adaptive ticking reduces background activity. Section endings can trigger sounds and desktop notifications, with Musical and Sharp sound sets. An optional task list limits active tasks and can remove completed ones when a new section starts. Settings can be downloaded, loaded from a file, or reset. FocusTide supports seven listed languages, is free at free, runs on the web, and can be installed as a Progressive Web App. Its source code is public.
