a timer that feels like a space, not a tool
most pomodoro timers are functional but forgettable. i wanted to build one that you'd actually enjoy having open on your screen. drift combines a focus timer with a task list, session tracking, and a spotify player, all in a single-screen dashboard. the design is intentionally warm and bold -- earthy terracotta, mustard, olive, and forest green -- because productivity tools don't have to look corporate. the goal was something you'd screenshot and share, not just use and close.
cards as workspace
the layout is a 3-column grid of colored cards, each serving a different function. the timer card handles focus/short/long break modes with customizable durations (click the time to adjust minutes and seconds with plus/minus controls, hold to scroll fast). the task card lets you add and check off tasks for your current session with a progress bar. the total focus card tracks your accumulated deep work time. the quote card rotates through motivational quotes on each page load. the music card embeds a spotify playlist player -- you can swap playlists by pasting any spotify link. the timer completion uses the web audio api to play an alarm-style beep sequence. everything fits in one viewport with no scrolling, designed mobile-first.
