an option to set a separate sound for the pomodoro cycle end

Open niloofar-torab opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

The app has no obvious indicator for the ending of a Pomodoro cycle. When a cycle ends, whether user has chosen to automatically start the next session or manually, the app starts the next Pomodoro cycle with no indication that it is a whole new cycle. The pop up is exactly the same pop up that shows up at the end of each section within the pomodoro cycle, and there is a notification but it is not distiguishing enough.

I propose that: Please add sound choice for Pomodoro cycle ending.

At the ending part of the Pomodoro cycle (whether that last part is the long break or the last short break or even if user has disabled both types of breaks and it's just focus sections), it'd be great to have a separate sound choice for the ending of a pomodoro cycle. (right now we have: -focus complete sound -break complete sound

and this is what i'm asking for: -cycle complete sound)

This sound is like a call for the start of the next class and it's such a positive stimulus.

Thanks in advance.

There's a visual indicator for that in the User interface/ Timer Customization section: "Show sessions until long break".

Awesome, but a separate sound would be a huge improvement for users like me.

Sound is a better stimulus for calling a person back to work. That is why there's a bell that rings after a school recess. <3

I'd be grateful if we got this.
