I recently built a Pomodoro / Study app called Tomatillo Timer. It's free to use, free of ads, and doesn't require login. My main objective was to add features that would help me improve my ability to focus with every study session

Tomatillo Timer is a free, ad-free Pomodoro app built to enhance study focus. It utilizes configurable Pomodoro sessions combined with other techniques to improve concentration. Developed using technologies like Svelte 5, Valibot, Pico CSS, and Tiptap, the app aims to help users stay on task despite distractions. The developer also introduces Flotes, a Markdown note-taking app, and plans to create a productivity-focused Discord channel.

I Built a Study Timer to Improve My Focus

Seems great! Quick question, does this app have the option to block me from some sites that can seem as distractive? It would cool if it have it.

This is really cool, really simple and useful!

It is quite nice, I tried one session and it feels good… :)… Thanks, it is definitely bookmarked…
