What YAPA 2 is

YAPA 2 is a free Windows desktop timer for people using the Pomodoro Technique. Its standard routine runs 25-minute work sessions, five-minute short breaks, and a longer break after four rounds. You can change work and break durations, choose automatic or manual interval starts, enable automatic breaks, add custom sounds, and minimize the timer to the system tray. Appearance controls cover timer size, number color, shadow, opacity, and fonts. A dashboard shows a year grid of focus activity and a chart for the last 60 days. YAPA 2 works offline, with settings and Pomodoro history stored locally on the PC; the site says nothing is uploaded. The app is open source under the MIT license. It is free with no paid tier, listed for Windows 10 and 11. Mac and Linux are not supported yet.
