I added a Pomodoro mode to my Mac notch app, with puzzle rewards after focus sessions

Hi guys, I’m working on a minimal Mac notch utility app. https://www.notchspace.com/ focused on small daily-use tools that stay out of the way. One feature I’m testing is a Pomodoro timer inside the notch area. After completing focus sessions, the user can unlock small puzzle-style rewards. The idea is to make focus sessions feel a little more satisfying without turning the app into a full productivity dashboard. I’m trying to keep the design clean and lightweight, so I’m not sure if the reward layer helps or if it makes a simple timer feel too gimmicky. For a Mac productivity utility, would you prefer: a simple minimal Pomodoro timer Pomodoro with small rewards after sessions Curious what feels more useful for daily use.

While I don't use Pomodoro timers, I like your idea. 2 can give that extra inspiration to make all the difference. Hope you also have themes that are calmer. Don't mean to be rude but this one is a bit too much for my taste.

This feels like it could be good for us ADHD folks who need rewards à la dopamine

u/Fimaljo楼主回复2026年7月15日

Can you test this notchspace.com

u/Feed-Embarrassed2026年7月15日

i really like the reward idea, slowly revealing a puzzle as you focus is a sweet little dopamine hit without being distracting. as long as the rewards stay optional and quiet i don't think it feels gimmicky at all. maybe let people toggle it off if they want pure minimal? curious what the puzzle piece art will end up looking like

u/Fimaljo楼主回复2026年7月15日

Yes, we can offer that option. The full version is currently available. If you want a discount or a lifetime offer, I can provide it after the trial. https://www.notchspace.com/

please ship the teleprompter feature sounds useful

u/Fimaljo楼主回复2026年7月18日

Many notch teleprompters are already available, so I'm thinking...

Amazing! Love the idea! perfect blend of focus + rejuvenation!

u/Fimaljo楼主回复2026年7月19日

Thanks try and let me know your thoughts

u/silentspade_5回复2026年7月19日

And as for the question you asked in the bio, I'd prefer both. I'd want to switch as per what I am feeling in that moment, could be minimal Pomodoro or the want to be rewarded! Blend of both will do the good on both ends.

u/rilya8882026年7月16日

I would choose option 2, but make rewards optional and only show them after the session ends. Nothing should animate in the notch during focus time. A slowly completed puzzle could be motivating without turning the timer into another distraction.
