Notification when timer hits estimate
complete

complete
When time is up, there is now an audio and visual cue in the Focus Bar to alert you.
You can choose the sound and volume of the notification for your account settings page.
You can also choose to add a notification 5 or 10 minutes before the time is up.
If you'd rather just have a visual cue, you can disable the audio cue from the same page.
The Focus Bar is required for both the audio and visual cues, so if you're not already using it, now would be a good time to do so!
You can learn more about the Focus Bar here.
As always, thanks to everyone who contributed their feedback to this request! A lot of the design decisions came directly from user suggestions on this one.

Superlist and Akiflow are having a great tray menu in the menu bar. Something like this would be great for having in Sunsama for me

Excited to see this coming into the app! Must have feature.

It will be important to give users options (as mentioned in other comments here) re whether they want a sound, whether they want a visual prompt (e.g. in the top menu bar), or both. Personally, I think an option to trigger the alarm before the end of the planned time would be great too -- e.g. 5 or 10 mins before "time's up", either in addition to or instead of just the final "time's up" notification.
Another idea here is to just gradually change the colour of the Actual vs Planned icon from green, to yellow, to orange, to red, to flashing red as the time planned time progresses and finishes/passes.
Then... it would be great to be able to click that Actual vs Planned icon (make it a button) and select an 'Extend 5 mins / Extend 10 mins / Extend 15 mins' option that with a couple of clicks with then reschedule the subsequent tasks for that day.

Personally, I keep my notifications mostly off on "Do not Disturb" so a notification wouldn't be best for me.
On my mac, I'm using an app called Effortless that just puts the timer in my top menu bar.
I'd love for Sunsama to be the menubar thing instead so that it's synced directly with the timer in the app

Like this - also wish meetings weren't automatically marked as complete when the time is reached - what if it goes over? Would like to mark it complete and add in actual time just like any other task.
Michael Carter
Ferreira, Carolyn: I 100% agree!

I would love the ability to add audible alarms and visual notifications to both tasks and breaks so I know when my estimated time for a task is nearly up and over and when my break is over.
Casey von Neumann
I agree! We have a stopwatch -- a countdown timer (or "count-up“ timer) would improve my productivity on time-bound tasks.

Llama Life integrates with Todoist and has a lot of the features suggested here.
Would be excellent to see them inside of Sunsama.
