Thanks for a nice pomodoro app, been having one like this in mind - that can be attached an placed on top of any window, slowly ticking in the background.

So something more that I've had in mind is the ability to "expand the timer" to add notes, or to write in distractions met along the way. I realize that it immediately means that the programming will become much more difficult and extensive so it depends on the commitment of those who knows how.

Also - what I had in mind, was a bracket color background. As it is, works fine though, and maybe having a place to note distractions (as is recommended by the pomodoro technique) is unecessary surplus and maybe not at all that advantageous. But could also prove to take the timer to next level.
The idea behind it is to become aware of potential distractions, and how often they appear.
Best case scenario, it would become "headlines" i.e. you could just click on a distraction written in, and it would add a "tick" to it. So for example if I'm using my pomodoro to write this here, maybe I could click "surfing the internet" and it would add to the stack which later would be shown in a graph.

Afterwards, one could go into a distraction graph, seeing what most causes distractions throughout ones work or study- and thereby reinforce oneself against it.

Another layer, which I barely use myself when using these apps anymore, is the ability to schedule pomodoros for various tasks. Also checking boxes, doesn't even need to be automized, learning how to spread time out is also part of the pomodoro technique.

The combination of "to do blocks" and "distractions" could be easy to reach by expanding a roll down menu accessible from a button on the timer - hidden by default. And it could also be accessible through settings, where you could see the overlay stats and write in your objectives and give it the number of pomodoros. When appointing amount of blocks, one should have the minimun set in less opacity, and then add "potential extra pomodoros" if one is unsure. These should be less opaque, and only show in the scroll down once the original ones are finished.
