    Feels like a silly question but I’m really struggling to find a free/cheap taskbar pomodoro app/programme.

    I’m on a work windows10/surface book. Just something small at the bottom of the taskbar.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Yes. Spotted the alarms and clock which has a timer on it. I was looking for a ‘programme’ and perhaps too focussed on it. I might investigate it further - see if there’s a way to set up recurrent and repeated time blocks. I just used 25/5 most of the time anyway.

    Thank you.

    And I thought my employer was restrictive :confused:

    Is the link that is blocked or the installation of the program itself ?

    If you have no local admin rights, you either need to ask IT to install or you out of luck with app.
    Build in you can pin it to taskbar
    Dont think there is option to make reoccurring. See if setting alarms at intervals might suite you

    Blocked. To be fair / they just suffered a ransomware attack today so maybe they’re right - or maybe it didn’t do anything so shouldn’t be So restrictive.
