# multiple timers (two exactly from 1 to 60 minutes)
# one move to configure and start timer
# pomodoro alternative
# burn out
# work productivity
# kitchen usage


- YOU NEED A DEAD SIMPLE TIMER ON YOUR IPHONE? Use these two timers as kitchen timers (1 to 60 minutes).

OR

- YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO STOP WORKING? Brain burning, headaches? This basic double timer can be a soft way to find a healthy rhythm.

EXPLANATIONS

One timer for the working time.
One timer for a break.

Each one is configurable and I would advice you to start with the Pomodoro approach:
- 25 minutes working
- 5 minutes of break

But Pomodoro is too strict for me.

So I personally alternate between the two timers as I generally start with the 25 minute timer. When it ends I start the other timer with a shorter time which I use to continue working (no more than 15 minutes more) or to have a short break (5 minutes).

Why to push yourself to stop working?

- a long task is exhausting and if it needs a lot of mental resource you might end in a strange mood (one day is ok, few months can lead you to burnout)

- if you get stuck on a problem then a tiny little pause doing totally something else can give a certain distance to your approach. Miracle! That was such little details breaking my « something » (depending on what you are working on ;-) )!

- giving a time to accomplish a task is helping you to go further and actually improve your productivity then you feel much more satisfied => self-confidence.


## Improvements TODO:
- Choose between different sounds
- Landscape support
- iPad support
- Give a name to the timer
- Show the hour when the timer should ring
- Go over 60 minutes for longer task for another application need (i.e. kitchen usage)
- Internationalization
- Add timers
- Change background
- Fix issues (don’t hesitate to report them to me!)
