I just released ProgressBar Windows - a simple widget that sits in your Windows toolbar and tells you how much progress you've made through the day.
I built it because I found myself trying to perfect tasks I was working on instead of just "getting things done". ProgressBar reminds me that my day is finite and that I've got to get a move on.
I was inspired by @andreyazimov's ProgressBarOSX [1] as to tool to help me stay on track during the day, but unfortunately it was only available on OSX and I couldn't find anything similar on Windows that I liked the design of.
So I decided to build it myself as a side project!
Features:
- Show/hide progress bar by right-clicking on the Windows taskbar
- Dark mode supported
- Change the time when your day starts and ends by clicking on the bar
- On the roadmap: add dates for custom goals.
It's a really simple app, built in .NET Framework and C#.
Excited for my first launch, and would love to hear what people think!
