PomodoroFox and FocusWriter take 2

bonnefoisI already commented a bit here, but for a bit more expanded review after using them extensively today, I have to give pretty high marks. Pomodorofox is especially good when my ADHD-ness is acting up and I can't focus, but I need to force myself. Because the timer is right there in ways other blockers aren't, I can look up, see I only have to work for 15 more minutes before I can take a break, and then push through it.
FocusWriter has yet to show a dark side at all. I've figured out how to minimize (it's CTRL+M) and the goal system will make NaNoWrimo soo much easier. I just wish I could figure out a way to make it actually show my word count. I could reset it after every 1k or so I know when to add it all up, or mentally calculate percentages, but it'd be so much easier if I could just figure out a way for it to say "you wrote 2k today" without me having to hunt that number down.
But so far, that's the only complaint I have for otherwise incredible software.
