TomatoTime: a Pomodoro timer app

[TJS]

Haven't been around the forums in a long time but I recently stumbled on the Pomodoro Technique for enhancing focus on work and really like it. My productivity has improved greatly since applying this:

After downloading a few Pomodoro timer apps for windows I was disappointed in the lack of simplicity and overabundance of adware so I wrote my own in AMS.

Thought I'd share the work so far. If you get a chance to check it out, let me know what you think.

The project file is attached and the executable is available at the link below for anyone that's interested in trying it out.

No close and when you go to the about box paragraph box is disabled and the timer is not runing when you go the about page.

Very interesting technique, i could use some time training with programming but id never get 25 mins solid to focus on my PC, lucky to get 15 uninterrupted mins in one go!

Gremlin is right, theres no way to close the app (apart from Alt+F4), you can not scroll the paragraph on the about page, and the timer stops when in the about page

you can get around the timer thing by using retesets global timer plugin or add the timer code to the about page aswel

Thanks for the feedback! Close is available from the tray menu but I'll add it back into the main interface as well. The timer pausing while on the about screen was intentional but I guess I should make that clear to the user as well... I thought I had the paragraph typeset so that no scrolling was needed... guess I need to test that screen a little more.
