About this app

Big tasks stall because "work on the thesis" isn't something you can start. Chisel makes you break it down first, then gives you a Pomodoro timer for the next step.

BREAK IT DOWN
• Turn a task into subtasks and estimate each one in pomodoros
• Reorder, skip or finish steps as the work moves
• Categories and deadlines, with days left on every task

ONE THING AT A TIME
• Each focus session starts on your next subtask
• Short breaks between rounds, and a long break every few
• Pause, resume, skip or stop, with notes that stay with the task

KEEPS REAL TIME
• Leave the app or close it: the timer keeps going
• An alert tells you when a session or a break ends, with sound or silent
• A live countdown in your notifications takes you back in one tap

DECIDE AFTER EVERY ROUND
• Continue, mark it done and move on, or add a pomodoro when a step needs more time
• Finish the last step and the task is done

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• Today's pomodoros, focus time and streak
• A weekly chart of what you got done

MADE FOR EVERYONE
• English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian
• Three looks: Night, Calm and Paper; large text and screen readers supported

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no analytics
• Your tasks stay on your phone

FREE AND PRO
Chisel is free with up to three active tasks. Chisel Pro removes the limit with one payment. No subscription.
Break big tasks into steps, then finish them one Pomodoro session at a time.
