About this app

*****There are six steps in the original technique*****
1. Decide on the task to be done.
2. Set the Pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
3. Work on the task.
4. End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes) and then return to step 2; otherwise continue to step 6.
6. After four Pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

Application developed by Linh Okita and Nyan.

Ratings and reviews

This app has improved my time management tremendously. It's easy to get so involved with whatever task we're doing, we lose all track of time. it's a flow state where we forget to eat,and stretch, and walk around. And we forget the other work that needs to be done too. This delightful little app does exactly what it needs to do: make a quick bell tone to snap people out of their trances. You can also set it vibrate if you want to be alerted silently.

My personality needs a time to keep on track for assignments and grading for my class. This has been a lifesaving tool for me! I have found that working 20 min on/10 min break works better for me than 25 min on/5 min break, and appreciate the flexibility of changing the settings. Also, the low "ding" at the end of the timer doesn't work for me, so being able to change it to a rather loud rooster was a plus.

I agree with another review, this app would be perfect if you had the ability to pause it, even if just between work/break items. At work I sometimes can't just stop doing what I'm doing to start my break, so a pause - or even "extend my time" button would help. Or, a toggle option to make it so you have to choose to start the next work/break. Otherwise, simple and sleek and great 👍
