Description

The current Focus Time feature is minimal and limited:

  • Timer is fixed at 25 minutes with no option for custom durations.
  • UI is basic and lacks engaging visuals.

Proposed Improvements:

  • Custom Timer: Allow users to set any focus duration.
  • Enhanced UI:
    • Clear and attractive timer display
    • Progress visualization (circular bar/animations)
    • Intuitive start/pause/reset buttons
  • Optional Features:
    • Display task name
    • Sound/visual notification when time ends
    • Light/dark theme support

Benefit: Makes Focus Time flexible, visually appealing, and more motivating for users.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement custom timer duration by adding an input field for minutes and update the timer logic. Enhance the UI with a circular progress bar, smooth animations, and intuitive start/pause/reset buttons. Optionally add task name display, notifications, and theme toggle.
