Built a Pomodoro timer for ADHD brains: always visible progress bar

raoarjun4 Sunday, November 16, 2025

One big problem I have with pomodoro apps: they disappear. Even when the timer's running, I forget about it.

So I built a macOS app that runs as a persistent, always-on-top sidebar. When you collapse it, it becomes a 3px colored progress bar.

That constant visual reminder helps my time-blindedness stay on track.

Curious if anyone else struggles with the same thing.
