I Made A Boosted Pomodoro Timer, Dojon - Simulate Exam Pressure In HIIT Style

Do you feel that you were most productive during your school exams as a student?

Well I do. The uninterrupted focus with time pressure and the “5 minutes left!” echo in the exam hall always pushed me to dish out that one more answer.

That’s why I created Dojon (dojon.co), a fun weekend project I originally made for myself to improve my productivity for work. It’s free and I wanted to share just in case others find it useful too.

It’s a productivity web app beyond an average pomodoro timer with the following additional features:

Challenge yourself to complete your work and stop the timer before the time runs out. Only then, it is a successful session.

No pause button like an exam (you don’t waste time going to the toilet, do you?)

One midpoint reminder and one 5 mins-left reminder to keep your pace up.

More than just a timer, Dojon also comes with the following capabilities to optimize your productivity:

Track your work history and review when and how long you have been working.

Track your positive habits and improve your self-discipline.

“Sets” feature which starts work and rest sessions automatically like HIIT

A lot of other features in the pipeline but please feel free to use and let me know if you have any feedback!
