Summary

Timebox++ is based on the idea of timeboxing, i.e. allocating a fixed time period to each planned activity. The point is to prevent pitfalls of Parkinson's law: "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion", i.e. it's a good idea to set a time limit on any task you're trying to accomplish.

It's a minimalist timer with only one button - Start/Stop. All you need to get work done.

🚀 Ideal workflow ⭐️ Choose the task ⭐️ Set a time limit ⭐️ Press the Start button ⭐️ Grind! ⭐️ Done :)

🚀 Eye candy features ⭐️ 2 visual styles - sequential and random ⭐️ 32 color variants

Great tool, and the design is elegant. I'm not sure how to turn off the notification sounds. It's annoying.

Peta, your beautiful extension keeps on sending notification sounds once the timer is finished, and AFAIK there's no way of stopping it!

Efectivamente, no deja de enviar notificaciones una vez alcanza el tiempo. Cuando corrijan el error la volveré a instalar.
