Pomodoro = PMDR + OOOO
The consonants are the work: focused, steady, deliberate. The vowels are the breathing room in between. Pomodoro puts both together in one simple timer.
Work in focused intervals and take short breaks. After four sessions, take a longer break and start a new cycle. It’s an easy way to get deep work done without burning out.
PLAN YOUR DAY AROUND ONE THING
• Name today’s task and every session you complete is saved to it.
• Pick from quick suggestions or reuse a previous task.
• No plan? Basic Pomodoro mode gives you just the timer.
A TIMER THAT STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY
• Tap to start, tap to pause, and tap Done to move on to the next step.
• Cycle indicators show where you are in the four-session flow.
• Skip a segment or edit it when life interrupts.
• Set focus, short-break and long-break lengths anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes.
• Auto-start breaks and focus sessions for a hands-free flow.
CALM, BEAUTIFUL TIMER STYLES
