[Feature Request]: Add an Integrated Pomodoro Study Timer component for task management

[Avnithakur731-a]

Hi @Charushi06,

While exploring the StudyPlan repository, I found the AI deadline extraction and calendar syncing features extremely helpful for students. To further enhance productivity while executing these tasks, I would love to propose a built-in study tool.

Proposed Feature

I want to implement a responsive and lightweight Pomodoro Study Timer Component using semantic HTML, clean CSS transitions, and Vanilla JavaScript.

• Features: A clean circular timer with customizable intervals (default: 25 mins focus, 5 mins short break).
• Controls: Intuitive Play, Pause, and Reset functionality.
• Audio Alert: A subtle, non-intrusive sound notification when a session ends to alert the student.
• UI: A minimalist design that integrates seamlessly with the current dashboard and doesn't clutter the calendar view.

Please assign this issue to me under GSSoC '26. I am excited to build this feature and add value to the student workflow!

Hello @Charushi06 👋,

I’m a GSSoC 2026 contributor and would be thrilled to work on this feature request.

I really like this idea because a built-in Pomodoro Timer would perfectly complement StudyPlan’s AI-powered task extraction and calendar management features. It would help students not only organize their study schedules but also stay focused while completing those tasks.

🚀 Proposed Implementation

I plan to develop a fully responsive and reusable Pomodoro Study Timer component with the following features:

⏱️ Core Functionality

• Default Pomodoro cycle:
  • 25 minutes Focus Session
  • 5 minutes Short Break
  • Optional 15-minute Long Break after multiple sessions
• Start, Pause, Resume, and Reset controls
• Automatic transition between focus and break sessions
• Session counter to track completed Pomodoro cycles

🎨 UI/UX Features

• Clean and modern timer interface
• Circular progress indicator or animated countdown
• Smooth transitions and subtle animations
• Responsive design for mobile, tablet, and desktop
• Dark/light theme compatibility
• Non-intrusive notification sound when a session ends

⚙️ Optional Enhancements

• Customizable focus and break durations
• Motivational messages during sessions
• Browser notifications for session completion
• Persistent timer state using localStorage

🛠️ Technical Approach

I will implement this using:

• React + TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS
• React Hooks (useState, useEffect)
• Reusable component structure for maintainability

🧪 Testing Plan

I will thoroughly test:

• Timer countdown accuracy
• Start/Pause/Reset functionality
• Automatic session switching
• Notification and sound triggers
• Responsiveness across different screen sizes

✅ Benefits to StudyPlan

This feature will transform StudyPlan from a planning tool into a complete productivity platform by allowing users to:

• Plan their study sessions
• Manage deadlines
• Stay focused using Pomodoro sessions
• Track progress effectively

I will ensure the implementation is clean, accessible, and aligned with the existing design language and coding standards of the project.

Please assign this issue to me under GSSoC 2026. I’d be excited to contribute this productivity-focused feature to StudyPlan.

Thank you! 🚀
