Improvements

Hey Team, i hope youre all well. would it be possible to inlcude an option to put the default time between breaks in focus mode to 50min, so i can implement a 50min work/10min break pomodoro system? at the moment you can only select 45 or 60min. thanks in advance kind regards julius

Hi! It would be spectacular if the timer could be a little more annoying for tracking the time. In the past, I supported the idea of a “ticking sound” request for the focus mode, but I believe there is more that needs to be fixed. I have ADHD, and I require a constant sound cue to keep track of my work. Currently, it only has a subtle alarm every 5 or 10 minutes, but if you miss it, it's almost invisible. For example, it happens to me frequently that I start a focus timer. For some reason, I don't watch the focus bar, and I have a 60-minute pomodoro. Then I put in break, take 5 minutes, but there is no hard cue to continue working. After 30 minutes, I realize I'm on a break. I pulse work again, but the whole workflow is already lost because you need to pay attention to the focus bar rather than the work itself. So, while your product is great and I use it daily, I feel incomplete if users are unable to use the focus feature on the tasks they have already planned. Especially for the ADHDer like me. Best.

I, like many other people, am using Sunsama as a time tracker as well as planner. I need the ability to enter start and end time into "actual time". If I leave my computer and forget to turn off the timer, I can usually remember what time I've ended the activity. Sometimes, I am also unsure how long I've been on a break. We really need a window to adjust the in/out points by clock time instead of hours spent. This is all that is missing to make the app a fully functional time tracker as well as planner. This would also make it possible to change yesterdays hours, if for some reason I haven't used the on/off timer accurately. Right now the timer is a nightmare if you're not 100% diligent with turning it on/off at the right times.

A few times this week, I've been interrupted and closed my laptop in the middle of a task, and come back a few hours later to find the timer still running. I'd like there to be a setting, or maybe a default behavior, where the timer only runs when my laptop is unlocked and awake, at least for some tasks.

I'd like it to be able to tally up the pomodoro sessions done for a task during the day to compare how many pomodoros I did that day

I forget to stop my timer all the time. When I open the task next, I can see the actual time on pervious days. Typically something I worked on for an hour is at 18+ hours. Please allow me to correct my error right there when I'm seeing the actual time, even if the time I want to edit is in the history. Related: When I do scroll back to the day and edit it, it seems to disappear form my calendar, instead of staying at the start time and shortening the length to the actual time and still starting when I started my timer.

On desktop, when trying to reposition the focus bar, its size keeps growing. For every pixel I drag it, it seems to grow a little more Restarting does not fix the issue, but the size is reset to normal on startup. here is footage: https://i.imgur.com/RJJQLeg.gif

A nice feature would be adding focus music like brain.fm for deep work or concentration. :)

For the Pomodoro and Timeflow techniques to work better, a ticking sound is necessary. This gives you an idea of how long you have to complete the task. https://facilethings.com/blog/en/science-behind-pomodoro-technique Best.

Hi Sunsama team, I have tried to drag the focus bar over the win11 taskbar, but it can't be positioned over the taskbar. Could this be changed, or could the focus bar have the option of being integrated into the win11 taskbar? My win11 taskbar is basically dead screen space, it would be nice to have the focus bar take up that dead space rather than app window space. Thanks, Steve
