happy friday!
before we jet off for the weekend, i'll make two drops:
🍅 Interval Timer
a lot of ppl have requested a pomodoro-style countdown timer, while others have mentioned they prefer the "stopwatch" approach (with some even specifically saying they don't want a pomodoro timer at all). a fun design challenge! here're the results:
if you can barely tell the difference, that's by design. 😉 i tried to make the absolute minimum UI changes to support a countdown mode.
for now, you can turn on Interval Timer globally from settings. that way, if you don't want to use it, it's out of your way.
i'd suggest giving it a try, at least for some Activities. while i don't use Interval Timer for focus sessions, i've found it useful for jumprope interval warmups and HIIT sessions.
🌐 Link Widgets
this is something i've been planning for a long time, and i'm excited it's finally out. with a Link Widget, you can access any site with a single tap. i think this will be useful for anyone who needs to reference a specific URL while completing an Activity.
for example, i use Link Widgets to add form videos to help me with my Olympic lifts. or maybe just for inspo because Rahmat can snatch my deadlift tbh. 😭
i also put in a little extra effort to render nice thumbnails for YouTube videos. lmk if you'd like to see this for any other video URLs!
hope you have a great weekend, and see you again next week!
onwards,
