Very interesting, I've been thinking on how to make physical pomodoro timer (or just display for one), but with circular screen and preferably no exact time remaining visible. as for me it is both distracting and anxiety-inducing. I've been using Visual Timer app [0] on my android phone and it has mostly been great, but putting phone away would obviously be better.

I actually bought a 4" round LCD for that reason, but ended up ditching it in favor for the e-paper display. I also stuck to just showing minutes (and in the last minute 10-second interval updates) so that it doesn't get too distracting.
