iTimeslot

The iTimeslot is a freestyle timer utility for you to focus on completing tasks. It is very easy to use, and it's free with no ads or subscriptions, although the UI is a bit plain."

It allows you to define different timeslots that used to focus on tasks.

In theory, you can use it with your 🍅Pomodoro Technique, but it's more flexible. For instance, most of the time, I prefer to extend the timer for longer periods. Some people may want to use it to simulate the IELTS test, such as timing themselves, while others may use it to remind themselves to drink water 🥃...

iTimeslot was written in C# and is based on the awesome avalonia UI framework. Both of them are Cross-Platform and open sourced,so this project can be built and can run on most platforms(macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android etc. )
