Pomororo

A calm Pomodoro timer that waits for you.

Change focus and break lengths right on the timer. No account, no forced break.

25:00

5 min break after

Start focus

The timer does not require an account. Finished work stays in this browser, and you can copy today as a short note.

A simple continuation loop

From intention to useful history—and back again.

Pick up your last work with its next step in view. Leave a sentence for next time, so you know where to begin. When the bell rings, the timer stops for your choice: a break, extra minutes, or another focus block. A break starts automatically only if you turn auto-start on.

    Set your rhythm

    Type a task, or choose one from Todoist. The title and project come in. Keep a next-step note with the work.

    Focus

    Start, pause, resume, or extend without leaving the keyboard.

    Review what happened

  5. 05

    Continue next time

    Return to recent work, read the sentence you left, and begin the next block.

Editable rhythm

01

Your work does not have to fit 25/5.

Focus, short break, and long break controls stay visible. Start with a preset or shape a rhythm around the work in front of you.

Task-aware sessions

02

Context without a task manager.

Attach an optional task, estimate its focus blocks, and follow progress. Pomororo remembers the thread without becoming a backlog.

Useful work data

03

History you can act on.

Review daily and weekly focus, estimate accuracy, and recent work. The point is to understand what happened and know what to continue.

Integrations

Optional. The timer still works alone.

Todoist and the Chrome companion are separate choices. Neither one requires a Pomororo account. Focus history stays in this browser.

Todoist

Choose a task without retyping it.

Connect once in this browser. The title and project come in. Use task only selects it. Start focus starts the countdown with it.

  • Done here closes the task in Pomororo. It does not complete it in Todoist.
  • Next step is an optional note for returning to the work.
  • Share focus summary is optional. You see a preview, then one comment is written on that task. Sharing again from this browser updates that comment.
How the Todoist connection works

Chrome

A timer in the toolbar, plus Focus Guard.

Pomororo Companion shares the active block on this computer. It blocks only sites you add, and only while focus is running or paused. The list starts empty.

  • Reddit, X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube can be added in one step.
  • Pause before you leave starts off. When it is on, leaving a blocked site waits 5 seconds.
  • The extension does not connect to Todoist. It is the clock and Focus Guard.

Pomororo is not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Todoist. Disconnect on this browser removes only the Todoist permission on this browser.

Keyboard-first

Stay in the flow.

Drive the normal focus flow without reaching for the mouse. Start, pause, capture a task, or continue recent work in place.

Straight answers

What people ask before they start.

Does Pomororo require an account?

No. The timer needs no account. Tasks and focus history stay in this browser.

Can I change the Pomodoro length from 25 minutes?

Yes. Focus, short break, and long break lengths are on the timer screen. Presets include 25/5, 50/10, 90/15, and 15/3, and any other length becomes Custom.

Does Pomororo force a break when the timer ends?

No. The block stops and you choose a break, extra minutes, or another focus block. Auto-start break is off unless you turn it on.

Can Pomororo block distracting websites?

The website timer does not block other sites. Pomororo Companion can block domains you add, only while a focus block is running or paused, and it starts with an empty list. Install it from the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pomororo-companion/hilimglnjnidkedhphbmchajceekpiif

Can I focus on a Todoist task?

Yes. Choose from Todoist on the timer. The title and project come in, and focus time stays in this browser. Done here does not complete the Todoist task. Sharing a summary is optional, shows a preview, and writes one comment on that task. A Pomororo account is optional. The timer works the same without Todoist.

Will my screen stay on during a focus block?

Yes, while the Pomororo tab is open and a focus block is running. Pausing, ending the block, or starting a break lets the screen sleep. Closing the laptop lid still sleeps the computer.
