Extension 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
