A suggestion I have (as a time-blind ADHD person): try to hijack the browsers’ Picture in Picture mode, or display a timer icon in the window bar or tab favicon.

Unless you keep your browser tab open, you can’t see it. A “gauge” icon in the browser bar would be enough to actually be in view without being distracting. Repackaging as a plug-in would give you a tab-free icon.

Indeed. Here is a very lightweight demo I did with this: https://pipodoro.vercel.app

Yes, time display in the window title can be nice. I made a simple web app for a similar purpose, that demonstrates the technique:

Screen-level overlays work nicely if you can take the native route (or use sth like Tauri). I have a goat showing up on the screen at random intervals and telling the to slow the fuck down when I speak:

For time management I'm using Be Focused (always visible + sound cues)

Maybe a "livestream-esq" video would work
