Release Notes

• Introducing End Timestamp Bubble (Feature: End Timestamp Bubble #44)
  • Users can now see the time when their running timer will be completed.
    • (E.g. If you start a 3 minute timer at 5:15pm, the end timestamp bubble will show your end time of 5:18pm)
• Added a Skip Button (Feature: Skip Button #53)
  • Users can now skip their current timer to completion. Useful for moving to the next timer while accumulating tomotoes for their pomodoro progression.
• Implemented Sidebar Improvements (Feature: Sidebar Improvements #51)
  • Improved animations and stagger
  • Slicked up our spawning animation for sidebar rows
  • Added an external link to our documentation site

  • Credits bubble added to sidebar which now conforms to our sidebar width
  • Removed redundant version number on sidebar
• Added a new Settings Option: Enable/Disable Long Breaks (New Settings Option: Enable/Disable Long Breaks #48)
  • If you'd like to revert the timer logic to the prior functionality of 1.6.0 and lower, you can disable this specific option in the settings page
• Cleaned up our Theme Slider
  • Removed "Light / Dark" text in place for a simplified icon
• Refreshed/Redesigned our Logo
  • Now represents more of a red tomato instead of a generic blue icon (which was placeholder)

Authors Notes

• Unity Pomodoro is now reaching a state where it achieves what I set out to do. Create an open source pomodoro app that I can use for my own productivity and learning. Initially I've set out for two things that define it's success: 1. A finished project, and 2. A re-occurring release cycle I can hold myself too. There also isn't much more I'd like to add in terms of features. So if you'd like to see something added in the last couple releases from me, please do chime in! I'll still be supporting this project moving forward, but I'm looking to move on to other projects for the time being. With that being said, I'm not abandoning or dropping support for this project, but instead exploring new prospects. Thanks everyone for all the support thus far! It's been a fun project, but alas it's almost time to move on. I'll chat a bit more in the next release.
• As always, the Microsoft Store version will be uploaded/updated over the next couple days.
• If you have any opinions/requests/ideas on something you'd like to see added, please comment away in the discussion!
• For those that wish to support this project (and fund further development) you can donate via my GitHub Sponsors page ❤️
• If you're enjoying the app, please share it with your friends! Getting the word out means a lot.
• Till next time 👋
