minee: Habit Tracking Pomodoro Timer Kit for Your Goal

Phone timers are a trap: set a 25-minute pomodoro and lose 10 minutes scrolling first. Physical timers exist, but bare digits lack any sense of time flowing, and motivation dies. minee replaces digits with an hourglass-style light ring — a digit-free interface that shows only the essence of passing time. Now in its fourth generation since 2018, it adds Bluetooth and an app logging focus sessions, screen time and sleep. Up to 1440 minutes of continuous timing breaks the 60-minute dial limit, and daily goal tracking turns pomodoro technique into a habit-building system. Launched in December 2023, the project drew 1,234 backers and raised $111,186 against a $5,000 goal — about 2,224% funded.
