Pickle is not a timer, but a metronome for my attention.
I'm not looking for a Pomodoro tracker. Most of them either have a surprisingly overcomplicated UX or try to be time trackers. I don't have time for that.
What I need is:
- adaptable work interval durations
- (e.g. longer in the morning and late afternoon, shorter in the evening)
- being able to start and stop the timer easily
- being able to switch to a "theme" (not even a task) easily
- (optional) record topics somewhere (text, file, calendar, notes)
- (optional) should be able to meow when the break ends (keeps my dog sharp and excited)
What I don't need is:
- time sheets
- to rate your app on the app store
Why not an egg timer or a mobile app?
Egg timers are noisy and I don't work alone. My fingers are too big for the touch screen of my phone. Finally, egg timers generally don't meow. Otherwise, yes, I'd go full egg. I'd even meow at an egg like this old Turkish man.
Random trivia:
Manichaeans (including one of the Catholic Church fathers–St Augustine) used to consider cucumbers sacred? Melons and cucumbers of light would help liberate the soul from the body.
My ambitions for the humber pickle are just that, humble.
