Timer

The Timer Surface starts a countdown or a pomodoro; a running timer shows its time left with Pause or Resume, Skip and Cancel. The phase and the round appear on the Island, and on Peek a Skip pill sits beside Pause and Stop.

Verb	What it does
timer start <duration>	Starts the timer, like 90s, 25m or 1h30m, up to 24h
timer pomodoro [<focus> <break> <long-break> <rounds>]	Focus, break, a long break after the last round, then round 1 again
timer pause|resume|skip|cancel	Pauses, resumes or cancels; skip moves a pomodoro to its next phase at once, paused if it was

Lengths left off pomodoro come from timer.pomodoro.*:

[timer.pomodoro]
work = 25
break = 5
long_break = 15
rounds = 4

A phase the timer moves on to by itself shows over Media for 6 s and collapses an open Surface.

Note

A running timer is one of the things the Session countdown’s warning lists before a restart, power off or log out. It is a warning only: nothing stops the action.
