PomoDoneApp

Essentially this app is based on the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for a period of 25 minutes consecutively, then when the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. Continue like this until you reach 4 pomodoros and then you can take a 20-30 min break. What this app does is it starts tracking your time working and it lets you know whenever you need to take a break. These breaks will help your brain to relax and lower their stress levels, as well as helping you become more productive in the time periods where you have to work nonstop.
