Integrated timer
Under consideration
Sep 11, 2024
An integrated time would be great for writing sprints which could have associated analytics. This could also feed into custom timed goals should we implement those in future.
It would also be useful to have a timer where you can record how long your writing sessions are and have them feed into analytics. i.e. being able to start a timer when you sit down to write, then stop it when you finish your session to record your productive writing time.
We’ve also had requests for an opt-in “thinking” timer. So a timer that shows time spent writing, and another timer that counts the amount of time you’re on the page without typing.

If this goes ahead, the ability to set up Pomodoro timer (Four x 25 min writing followed by 5 min break, then the next 25 min writing block has a long break of 10 min). This is to encourage stretching, and learning to focus when writing.
I've yet to master it, but I've heard many who swear by it. https://www.pomodorotechnique.com
