πŸ”” Floating Pomodoro Timer β€” Lightweight Windows App to Beat Procrastination 🎯

Do you often lose track of time while working or studying on your PC?
Wish you had a minimal Pomodoro timer that floats like a helpful assistant, always visible but never intrusive?

Introducing the Floating Pomodoro Timer β€” a distraction-free, always-on-top Windows application that helps you stay focused and productive.

βœ… Why I Built This
As someone who codes and creates daily, I struggled to keep my Pomodoro timer visible without switching tabs or digging through browser windows. So I built a clean, floating timer that:

Stays on top of all other windows

Doesn’t need installation

And feels like a little assistant reminding you to stay in the zone πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

πŸ•’ Features
⏱️ 25-minute Pomodoro timer

▢️ Start / ⏹️ Stop / πŸ”„ Reset buttons

πŸ”Š Sound alert when time is up

πŸ“Œ Always on top (like a sticky note)

πŸ–±οΈ Drag anywhere on your screen

ℹ️ Built-in instructions popup

πŸ’Ύ Lightweight .exe file (under 5MB)

🧠 Designed by Krishnamohan Yagneswaran

πŸ’» Portable and Lightweight
This timer runs as a standalone .exe file β€” no installer, no dependencies, no setup required. Just download, double-click, and go.

Perfect for minimalists, students, remote workers, or indie devs like me who love tools that just work.

πŸ›‘οΈ A Note About Antivirus Warnings
This app is built using Python and packaged with cx_Freeze. Because it's a custom .exe and not digitally signed (certificates are expensive!), some antivirus programs might mark it as β€œunknown.”

πŸ”’ What You Should Know:
No malware, spyware, or tracking

No internet access or data collection

Safe to allow in your antivirus

This is a common false positive for indie apps. Thank you for understanding and supporting solo developers πŸ™
