Great pomodoro app for ADHD! Would love to see two more minor features incorporated...

Pomodoro One is my favorite pomodoro technique app for Mac. It keeps me and my ADHD from hyper-focusing.

KEY FEATURES:
Customizable “Pomodoro time”, "Break time”, and "Long break time” means that you can set the minutes yourself instead of being forced to use the standard 25 minutes pomodoro time with 5 minute break times. “Long break each” (amount of pomodoros completed before long break) is also customizable. I set mine for 5 pomodoros before a 15 minute long break.

Being able to choose the amount of time for pomodoros and breaks is a feature that allows me to become better at focusing on projects. 25 minute pomodoro minutes is great when starting out, however, after a few weeks, I could focus longer than 25 minutes, and getting an alarm after 25 minutes ended up being a distraction that knocked me off track. My perfect pomodoro time is 40 minutes, with 5 minute break every 5 pomodoros. Everyone will have their own pomodoro sweet spot and Pomodoro One allows you to customize minutes to find that sweet spot.

SUPER AWESOME OPTION FEATURE:
“Interupt me when Pomodor ends” option. When a pomodoro ends, the window pops up to the foreground in front of your other windows. It can be a tad bit annoying, but it gets you to take notice and take a break. With this feature off, I will hear the alarm and ignore it, and keep working… then I get sluggish. The “interupt” feature reminds me to take a break, and those breaks keep my mind fresh.

FEATURES I’D LOVE TO SEE (as of March 7, 2015)
1) A “keep window on top” option. That way, the Pomodoro One window would stay in the forefront on my desktop instead of getting hidden behind other open windows. The menu bar timer is nice but I need something more “in my face”.

2) Scalable window. The Pomodoro window is a nice size, but it would be great to be able to scale it larger or smaller. Sometimes I like a little window while working on my iMac, but a larger, almost full screen size window, would be great for when I’m working on creative ideas while sitting at my comfy chair about 10 ft away from my iMac.

OVERALL:
I this app is the best Pomodoro app for Mac that I’ve used. Great for people with ADHD. SQUIRREL!!!
