About this app

Pomodoru is a minimal pomodoro app for focused work sessions. Start a timer from your home-screen widget, and watch your focused time accumulate on a contribution-style grid.

— Features —

• One-tap home-screen widget — start a session without opening the app
• 25 / 45 / 50 minute pomodoro presets (plus a 60-second test option)
• focus grid — 12 weeks × 7 days, color intensity tied to your daily goal
• Daily goal slot — pick from presets calibrated to your timer length
• Four color palettes — forest, ocean, sunset, mono
• Light, dark, and system themes
• Five languages — English, 한국어, 日本語, 简体中文, Español
• Reliable notifications — exact-alarm scheduling so completion alerts fire on time even with the screen off
• Optional sound and vibration on completion (each toggleable)
• One-time "Remove Ads" upgrade — no subscription, no recurring fees, no account

— How it works —

1. Tap the Pomodoru widget on your home screen — the app opens with the timer ready
2. Pick a duration (25 / 45 / 50 min, or 60 s for a quick test) and tap Start
3. When the session completes you get a notification, and your focus grid fills another tile
4. Open the History view to revisit any past day

— Privacy —

All your data stays on your device. There is no server, no account, no telemetry, and no analytics. The only data leaving your device is what Google AdMob processes to serve a banner ad in the free version: advertising ID, approximate (network-derived) location, basic device info, AdMob SDK diagnostics/crash data, and ad interaction events (impressions, clicks). All processed under Google's privacy policy. The "Remove Ads" upgrade ends all advertising and all related data sharing.

— Permissions —

• Notifications — to alert you when a session ends
• Exact alarm — so completion notifications fire on time even when the device is in idle (Doze) mode. Pomodoros are time-critical; without this, alerts can be deferred by minutes.
• Vibration — only when you enable vibration in Settings

— Notes —

• Some manufacturers (Xiaomi, HONOR, etc.) aggressively kill background apps. If notifications don't arrive, enable autostart for the app in system settings.
• The app is intended for users aged 13 or older.
