Countdone is the essence of the Pomodoro Technique, distilled into a beautifully simple interface.
Set time limits for your to-dos and watch as the timer counts down and the screen turns from green to red, motivating you to get things done by applying a gentle amount of pressure. For added motivation, turn on the optional sounds for a further indication of how much time you have left and hit that 'done' button as fast as you can!
