Work Hours Remaining Today — Live Shift Countdown

Break slots affect your countdown in two ways depending on whether you've marked them as taken. Upcoming breaks (unchecked) are subtracted from the displayed remaining time — so if you have 3 hours until shift end and a 30-minute lunch still ahead, the countdown shows 2h 30m of productive work time remaining. Taken breaks (checked) have already been completed and are not subtracted from remaining time — they're factored into your "worked so far" total instead. This means the countdown always shows your true remaining productive time, not just clock time. The total break minutes are shown in the "Break Adjustment" header and the sidebar summary.

The overtime tracker activates automatically when the current time passes your OT threshold (which defaults to your shift end time, but can be set separately). When overtime starts: the countdown display turns red, the label changes from "Time remaining" to "Overtime — you've worked an extra:", the numbers count upward instead of downward, and the progress bar switches to an orange/red gradient. The overtime threshold field lets you set a different time from your shift end — for example, if your shift officially ends at 5pm but overtime pay kicks in after 6pm, you can set the threshold to 6pm and the regular countdown continues until then, then switches to overtime mode. The sidebar also shows your current overtime duration.

The Pomodoro blocks remaining count is calculated from your net remaining productive time — that is, time until shift end minus any unchecked (upcoming) breaks. This remaining time is divided by your chosen session length (25, 30, 45, 50, or 90 minutes). Full sessions are shown as solid blue squares. If there's a partial remaining session (for example, 18 minutes left when your session length is 25 minutes), a half-filled square is shown to indicate you have time for a partial session. The text summary shows the total in decimal form — for example "3.8 Pomodoros" means 3 full 25-minute sessions plus about 20 minutes extra. This helps you decide whether it's worth starting a new focus session or better to wrap up current work.

The decimal hours output at the bottom of the tool shows two values: Worked so far in decimal hours (e.g., 4.5 = 4 hours 30 minutes), and Remaining in decimal hours (e.g., 3.25 = 3 hours 15 minutes). These are formatted to 2 decimal places and update in real-time. Both values account for taken breaks in "worked" and upcoming breaks in "remaining." These decimal values are what many payroll systems, timesheets, and billing platforms require. Click the Copy button next to either value to copy it directly to your clipboard — ready to paste into your timesheet or invoicing system without any mental conversion.

Yes, overnight shifts are supported. When your shift end time is earlier in the clock than your start time (for example, start at 22:00, end at 06:00), the tool automatically detects that the end time is on the next calendar day and calculates the countdown accordingly. The "Night 10–6" preset (10pm to 6am) demonstrates this. The live countdown will correctly show something like "7h 42m 18s remaining" even though the shift spans midnight. The overtime tracker also works correctly for overnight shifts — it will activate when you pass your set OT threshold, regardless of whether that's before or after midnight.
