I also us a timer. Because I could not find what I wanted (a simple timer that alerts me with a nice sound), I built it myself. It was the first thing I built after my bootcamp and I wanted to understand working with the DOM better, so it is pure JS working in the browser. You can use it in a new window and minimize that window somewhere in a corner of your screen. To add a bit of fun, there is a button to change the color of the timer randomly. I use it most days. It's deployed with GitHub Pages, have a look: jethet.github.io/project-timer/
I use it to set 60 or 90 minutes as dedicated working time, also to limit the time that I am sitting behind my laptop without moving at all ;-)
