Kryptonite

A forceful pomodoro application.

Pitch

A pomodoro work schedule encourages taking 5 minute breaks for every 25-30 minutes worked. This concept is solid - maximize productivity, while building in breaks for fresh outlooks on those hard to solve problems. Unfortunately, most people are easily capable of working through the buzzer on most pomodoro apps.

Solution

Upon triggering a pomodoro, a window emerges and the user is not able to access their controls (click, ⌘ + Tab, or swipe panes) for the duration of the pomodoro.

Skills Utilized:

React, Electron, JavaScript

Opting Out

These are purposefully complicated and long, and you will not have access to the internet
Here's an example, but you probably won't have the luxury of having this quote on your clip board. Oh, and the quote changes every break.

To get started, install the dependencies.

npm install

Then fire up the application.

npm start
