I would love to see two new features added to complement the existing stopwatch functionality.

1. A count down timer
2. A Pomodoro timer (e.g. https://chrome.google.co...akijjmlelnjjiohjmlaikhb)

ManicTime and Pomodoro Technique(tm) seem like they would be a natural fit. http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/

...and Pomodoro has a fast growing following.

Hi,

I was familiar with Pomodoro Technique, that is I knew it was interval based work, but I never took the time to read any further. I took some time now to go through the ebook.
Seems like lists are a big part of the technique, but if you are only looking for a timer, like the chrome extension you referenced, we can add it.
I will put it on our todo list.

Thanks Joel for the link to pomodoro - looks very interesting. As regards Manictime timers, note that the pomodoro timer should be visible (like a kitchen timer!) as it counts down, not just a pop-up alert box. Would a little number in a system tray icon be sufficient?

Brilliant! A system tray counter would be even better than the chrome extension as I wouldn't have to leave an instance of chrome up and running. THANKS!

Hi,

I am a huge fan of ManicTime, but recently realized I am much more productive when I use the Pomodoro technique. It would therefore be extremely convenient for me to have a timer function (in addition to the stopwatch function). Are you still considering adding such a function?

Thank you for your time.

Pablo

Definitively, it is actually one of the features I'd like to see for myself as well.
