This is a productivity timer inspired by a [pomodoro technique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).

It can help you save lots of time and increase productivity if most of the day you spend at the computer.


By default there is a classical pomodoro time of 25 minutes and break of 5 minutes. After first 4 pomodoros there is a break of 15 minutes and after 8 pomodoros — a break of 30 minutes (these settings can be changed in `config.hjson`).

This timer differs from similar others by fully automation and locking a screen when a break. So you don't need manually click start or regulate a time
This timer differs from similar others by fully automation and locking a screen when a break. So you don't need manually click start or regulate a time.

Sometimes you may need a computer urgently when timer show a break. There is an extra time button that allows to add several minutes to work timer, and immediately switch to work mode.

*Lock mode can be enabled for a basic protection from yourself (or childrens if you want to limit time for them). With enabled `lockmode` you will not able to close the program with any way, except kill a process in task manager.*

*You can enable lock mode by setting up `lockkeyboard = true` in [config.hjson](https://github.com/HarpyWar/chronofag-timer/blob/master/ChronoFagTimer/config.hjson#L128). After that you will not able to close the program (only kill a process in task manager).*
In additional for better protect you can disable Task Manager in Windows policy and remove write permissions for `config.hjson`. Timer restores a previous session after the program restart, so a computer reboot will not help to reset a break.
