Nucleus

It’s incredibly easy to lose track of time while browsing the web, especially if your work involves using a web browser. The Pomodoro Technique is a well-known way to increase productivity and manage time, but you normally need a separate application to make use of it.

Nucleus is a relatively basic Chrome extension that enables you to take advantage of this popular technique directly from your web browser. It is very easy to set up and unobtrusive.

This time management method involves splitting your time into work and break intervals, making it easier to concentrate on a specific task for the designated period. The traditional focus time is 25 minutes, while breaks normally last for 5 minutes.

Nucleus makes it possible to take advantage of this technique while browsing the web, so you will not have to switch to a different application or bring out your smartphone just to track intervals.

You can access the extension and configure it by just clicking its icon on the Chrome toolbar. The default break and focus intervals can be changed, and you can also enable or disable notifications.

Nucleus can be run in manual or automatic mode; depending on which of these you select, the break and focus time will be started automatically or only by the user.

You don’t need to bring up the extension window just to keep track of how much time is left, as a counter is displayed in the toolbar icon for your convenience.

On the whole, Nucleus is a pretty straightforward extension that can increase your productivity by helping you organize your work and break time. It doesn’t offer a lot of features, but it is very user-friendly and stays out of your way.
