HTML · CSS · JavaScript

Problem

Existing timers forced constant app switching for music and rarely nudged me back when breaks overran. I needed a single-page flow that keeps sound, focus, and reminders together.

Solution highlights

  • Integrated YouTube playlist controls so favourite focus tracks stay within the app.
  • Custom focus/break presets with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript powered live feedback.
  • End-of-session reminders and gentle notifications that invite you back on schedule.

Impact

Usability sessions showed longer uninterrupted focus blocks and higher return rates thanks to reminders and seamless playlist flow.
