In plain words

Zonebox is a Mac app that helps users manage tasks by listing them and estimating their duration. It displays a progress bar in the Dock showing remaining time, with quick adjustments via plus/minus buttons. Users can enable full-screen mode for distraction-free focus, with only the timer visible. When tasks complete, the app alerts users through a color-changing global bar, sound, and system notification. Tasks can be edited or reordered at any time.
