Major Update: Advanced Multi-Timer Dashboard & Preset Layouts

Create, Drag, and Organize Your Personal Productivity Workspace

We are thrilled to launch our biggest update yet: the Advanced Multi-Timer Dashboard Grid! Now you can arrange multiple countdown timers, stopwatch widgets, and Pomodoro trackers in a completely customizable, responsive grid. Whether you are tracking multiple kitchen recipes, managing study intervals, keeping track of work sprints, or conducting complex workout sessions, you can organize your tools side-by-side. To help you get started instantly, we have introduced productivity templates (presets) tailored for study, cooking, workouts, and office productivity. The dashboard automatically scales to any device screen size, keeping all of your active timers fully synchronized in real-time.

How to use: Click on the templates icon in the header menu to load a preset workspace, or use the drag handles on any active timer card to rearrange, drag-and-drop, and resize widgets into your custom productivity layout.

Seamless Background Music Integration

Focus with Your Favorite Tunes

Enhance your focus, concentration, and deep work sessions by listening to background music directly from YouTube within Tick Dash! We have seamlessly integrated a fully functional music player right into the Pomodoro timer widget. Best of all, the audio stream plays continuously without any stutter or interruption, even when you switch your workspace to fullscreen mode or resize your active browser window.

How to use: Hover over any active Pomodoro timer widget and click on the musical note icon. Paste your favorite YouTube video URL or playlist link to instantly load the audio, adjust volume, and start playing music.

Import & Export Your Setup

Your Timers, Your Data: Now Portable!

Never lose your carefully customized productivity workspace setup again. You can now easily back up and export your entire dashboard configuration—including all custom countdown timers, stopwatches, active settings, and card layouts—into a lightweight JSON file. This allows you to easily restore your data, keep safe backups, or seamlessly transfer your exact workstation setup to another browser or a different computer.

How to use: Open the main settings panel via the gear icon in the header, navigate to the Import / Export section, and click 'Export Setup' to save your file, or 'Import Setup' to load a previously saved configuration.

New Pomodoro Visual: The Hourglass

A Classic Take on Focus Time

Bring a classic aesthetic touch to your daily workflow with our new hourglass visualization style for the Pomodoro timer. This visually soothing animation simulates sand flowing slowly through a vintage hourglass, providing a gentle, non-distracting visual indicator of your progress during intense work blocks and relaxing rest periods.

How to use: Open the customization panel on any Pomodoro card, navigate to the Display Style options, select 'Hourglass', and optionally customize the sand colors to match your preferred theme.

We're constantly working on new features. Stay tuned for more updates!
