What Visual Timer does
Visual Timer opens a small popup window with a countdown you control by typing numbers and pressing keys, never a mouse. You set the minutes, watch a bar fill as time passes, and get a flashing alert when it's done. A task mode lets you list to-dos and start a timer for each one, with an optional daily streak goal for time spent on tasks.
Visual Timer keyboard shortcuts
Type 1-999 to start a timer for that many minutes, press R to reset, and Space to pause or resume. The question mark key toggles configuration mode, where you can change the background color and toggle the completion sound. T switches to task mode, and the right angle bracket marks the current task done and moves to the next one.
Is Visual Timer safe?
The extension's manifest lists no permissions and no content scripts, meaning it doesn't read or modify the pages you visit. It runs only in its own popup window, so it has no access to browsing data beyond the timer settings it stores locally.
