## Description

Tempo Blocks keeps structured sessions on time without requiring a timer tab to stay open. Choose Custom or Focus Cycle, then edit the routine to match the work.

• Custom routine starting with 20, 15, 20, 30, and 5 minute blocks
• Four-round Focus Cycle with short and long breaks
• Editable block names, durations, rounds, and break lengths
• Persistent timing while the widget is closed
• Toolbar badge with remaining time and timer status
• Toolbar-triggered movable timer widget with a focused four-choice completion state
• Pause, skip, reset, optional auto-advance, and optional desktop notifications
• Local-only settings with no ads, analytics, accounts, or website access

Saving routine settings resets the active timer so the new routine begins in a consistent state.

Clicking the Tempo Blocks toolbar icon toggles the timer widget on the current page using temporary access. Browser-protected and extension-store pages cannot host injected widgets; Tempo Blocks reports that browser restriction without opening a substitute timer tab. After navigating, click the toolbar icon to attach the widget to the new page.
