- Auto-split tasks and labeled breaks
- Tasks of 25 minutes or more are split into shorter blocks with short resets between them. Resets can be named, such as a walk or the laundry, and the number of blocks changed.
- Live finish time
- During a session the projected finish time updates as minutes are added or removed or the timer is paused, and the rest of the schedule recalculates.
