Pace — A Pomodoro Timer for Building Your Working Pace

About

Most pomodoro timers start the second you press play. Pace starts a step earlier — with a plan. Set your sessions and breaks, and before you begin it shows the clock time you'll finish, every short and long break counted. You start each run knowing exactly when you'll be done — and over time you build a working pace you can actually keep.

HOW IT WORKS

• Plan, then start — see your finishing time. Set focus length, breaks, and how many sessions. Pace does the math across all of them and shows "Estimated finish: 4:30." A clear horizon instead of an open-ended timer.
• Ambient sound that seals out the world. Rain, forest, or cafe loops to mask distraction and ease you into flow. Or work in silence — one click to mute.
• A gentle full-screen break. When a break begins, Pace dims the page and pauses media — a middle ground that's lighter than blocking websites but firmer than a notification you can ignore. When the break ends it waits for you to move the mouse before the next session, so you come back on your own terms.
• Optional cross-device reminders — no account. Get a buzz on your phone the moment a break begins, for when you've stepped away from the desk. Off by default; turn it on and it pairs in seconds.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No tracking. Your settings and timer live on your device and nothing leaves it — with one exception you control: if you switch on cross-device reminders, Pace sends a short, generic "time for a break" message (no personal data, no page content) to a private push topic. Turn it off and the extension makes no network requests at all.

NOT A WEBSITE BLOCKER

Pace doesn't block sites or police your attention. It assumes you can focus — it just gives you a finish line, a calm backdrop, and a nudge to rest, so you can keep a steady pace instead of grinding until you're fried.
