The Cutest Study Timer in the West
Tiny timer is a chrome extension that helps you stay focused while you get work done on your browser using the Pomodoro Technique.
Meet your new study buddy! This little guy will help you stay focused by only waking up when your Pomodoro timer goes off. Then, you can take a break together while your buddy keeps track of when you need to go back to work.
What is the Pomodoro study technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that involves breaking down work into 25-minute intervals, called Pomodoros, followed by short breaks. It aims to improve focus, productivity, and efficiency by helping individuals avoid distractions and maintain energy.
As of now, the currently available study buddies include:
-Barry the Cat (Free)

- (2023-08-11) Hannah BANANA: can't toggle anything, maybe it's just me but I don't even know how to turn it on
- (2023-07-05) Bobbi Jones: love this guy, he's a little glitchy sometimes and mixes up work time with break time goals. I would love to be able to end the break early or the work time early too if I have to change tasks.
- (2023-04-30) Sterling Stars: Super Duper Cute! Wish it had an alarm sound and you were able to change/ reposition the kitty since it sometimes blocks the screen. Maybe make it so the timer is only visible when you click/hover? Or make timer visible from the chrome extension button as it's not visible when you toggle the buddy. A LOT of potential with this extension and I hope it gets updates!
