As a digital artist, to plan out my day, battle procrastination, distractions or simply to help me focus, I created this timer.
On a regular day I usually set a goal to work 6 to 8 hours, I like cut this goal into what I call of 30 minutesgiving me room for play, food and internet in between!
The CountDown LevelUp Timer is designed with this process in mind. It uses a visual warning system to notify the user when a timer is running or has stopped.
It also offers customization of the length and amount of timers, you can set up 40 blocks of 2 seconds, or 5 blocks of 5 hours, and even tweak the visual feedback, it's up to you!
May it make you productive!
Please send any questions, feedback, or bugs to my email at matterfold@gmail.com and I will try to respond as best I can.
For windows only right now, if I get a lot of requests I will see if I can port it to mac.
FAQ
- I did not find a timer with these specific features in mind, I developed this timer as I worked adjusting it based on my personal experience using it as an artist.
What do you mean visual feedback?
- I left out audio feedback on purpose because it tends to shocks me when I am really focused. I will add the ability to use audio instead in a later version.
