I've created a Mac OS app that shows a progress bar 5 pixels tall and 100% the with of the screen when complete, it's always on top of any window.

It's a menu bar app, so you click on the icon and there are a few options.

- You can choose how long will take for the bar to complete, 1, 5, 10... ( I have hardcoded all minutes in intervals of 5 minutes up to 1h :D ).

- Choose a color. - Choose the sound it will make at the end, the options are the standard mac sounds.

Additionally:

- Choose screen to video capture your work.

The idea is to have a pomodoro app that helps with time blindness and time perception, having a constant reminder, it's a bit video game like if you can image.

The video capture feature it's a kind of self accountability and documentation. It's also useful to resume work where you left.
