A visual timer really helps gets things done. Ya we go with one task at a time so it doesnt get overwhelming and you can decide how long to work on a task when it pops up. That parentheses feature is pretty cool, im curious if that is more convenient or just clicking a button when it pops up

Some advantages of the parenthetical time entry: 1) more granular control over time; I can easily enter (:02) or (:10) without going to a second-level menu to access the slider; 2) I can estimate times for all my tasks in advance, which makes it easier to plan breaks; 3) my workflow isn't interrupted by having to choose a time before moving on to the next task (admittedly, you've made this pretty easy with your 3 default buttons, but still, I find it distracting)

Suggestion: keep the buttons, but put them inline with task entry and also implement parentheses.

Regardless, I'm really enjoying this tool. Thanks!
