Introducing Mind Your Time, a focus timer linked to your tasks

Mind Your Time is a Pomodoro timer built into Mind Your Now. Link a session to a task, and the time you spend is recorded against it.

The Pomodoro technique splits work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes, with short breaks between them. It makes large tasks easier to start.

The timer

• Linked to tasks: start a session on any task, or run one without a task.
• Time tracking: every session is recorded against its task.
• Session types: work sessions, short breaks and long breaks.

Analytics

• Daily focus: minutes focused each day.
• Heatmap: the hours of the week when you focus most.
• Streak calendar: the days you kept a focus streak going.
• Categories: where your time goes across types of task.

Settings

• Set your own lengths for work sessions and breaks.
• Choose whether breaks and work sessions start automatically.
• Turn sound alerts on or off for the end of a session.
• Decide how many work sessions come before a long break.

Kid mode

Kid mode turns the timer into something children can follow. An animated tomato fills up as the session runs, there's a short celebration at the end, and the controls are simpler.

Across devices

Timers sync across your devices as they run, so a session started on your laptop shows on your phone.

1. Open the timer from the navigation menu.
2. Pick a task, or start without one.
