Tomato Clock for Firefox

Tomato Clock is a lightweight, easy-to-use extension for Firefox, based on the so-called Pomodoro technique for improved time management. The extension permits users to split their work time into sessions of 25 minutes each, followed by short 5-minute breaks. After four 25-minute work sessions, the Tomato Clock extension for Firefox will announce you to take a more extended, 15-minute break. Such a time management technique keeps your mind fresh but focused on the job, as well.

Tomato Clock is straightforward to use. It comes with four buttons, each with its function — Tomato, Short Break, Long Break, and Reset. Their names are self-explanatory. You can customize the timers, according to your needs and desires. To do that, right-click the extension's icon and go to Manage Extension, and then to Options. Once the countdown ends, the extension will send you a notification right in your browser, along with a sound alert. You can also reset the timers whenever you want.

This extension also allows users to view their stats per week, month, and so on. That means users can see how many "Tomatoes" they had during the selected interval and how many breaks, either short or long, they took. Viewing these stats might be helpful for users to see how proper their time management technique is, and how they can improve that to increase productivity without overworking. You can easily sync your stats on multiple devices via Firefox's cloud storage.

When working, many of us forget to take frequent short breaks, and we can become anxious and lose our focus. That's not something we like to see happening. That's why the Tomato Clock extension is a useful application for workers. With a clean GUI and a straightforward way to use it, this extension is helpful for those who want to manage their time better.
