Timebox++ Extension

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

Completely free and with no ads

Codo Coderson (ID: 000000df95d3ad2e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/19/2023 Peta, your beautiful extension keeps on sending notification sounds once the timer is finished, and AFAIK there's no way of stopping it!

Iktsoi (ID: 00000075b818ceb8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/12/2023 The timer part works, but you can't change the color on opera. Tried it on chrome and it worked, so I'll just wait.
