Boost and track your workflow using the Pomodoro technique, on top of your current task management system (Asana, Trello, JIRA, Basecamp, Evernote etc).
Sharpen your focus by using an interruption shield we built: block certain websites while you working, and notify your distributed team via Slack and switch it to silent mode by managing its DND. Use your productivity history log to analyze and report.
It’s simple but effective, the timer in the top of the screen helps you keep on track, and reminds you there’s a break coming!
Technique is tricky, as many people will I frequently finish a task within the 25 minutes or have to switch as a scheduled meeting (or emergency) interrupts a session. Easier ways to handle that would be great! by Pomodone UAB on 18/07/2019 Thanks a lot for the review and feedback, Richard, it's much appreciated!
I like the ability to integrate with other apps that I use (primarily Asana). The tracking and customization of timer length is definitely useful.
The transfer of information between the mobile and desktop app is not ideal. For example, I frequently would like to take a long break every time I complete 4 work sessions, but the number of completed sessions is tracked separately on mobile and desktop. This essentially means I have to choose one or the other, but I would frequently prefer to use the desktop app for tasks there and the mobile app when I have tasks that aren't explicitly on the computer.
The UI is very good, the app is simple to use and gets the job done.
1) without integration to a local JIRA server (without involving a 3rd party) I am not able to use this app. I paid for premium just to try JIRA integration and it doesn’t work for me.
Occasionally crashes, but relatively rarely.
The UI is a little clunky, and switching tasks within integrated apps (e.g. Todoist) is a bit fiddly, but that's no reason not to use the app! by Pomodone UAB on 25/06/2019 Thanks a lot, Cory, we do appreciate your feedback!
Fácil de usar,
Cannot add subtasks
Still in early development phase. More syncing feature between devices would make this app even powerful. by Pomodone UAB on 11/07/2019 Hi Tatsunosuke, thanks a lot for the review and feedback. It's much appreciated!
The sync with Wunderlist is awesome - I manage everything there. The Windows app is very good and so is the android app. Usability is very good as long as you learn how to setup the tasks accordingly in Wunderlist
In the time log window, when you try to add a manual text, it takes a few seconds (5-6 s) to get the list of topics. This prevents real time usage.
So, I have found out I have ADD.
- Connectivity with IFTTT would help me more. This helps with other apps such as IOS reminders, PAVLOK, etc.
Light interface and great support team!!!
I am lack of integration with OmniFocus more natively.
The integration with google calendar and Wunderlist and the possibility to see today tasks in a list. It is easy to customize and the volume of the ticking is a really good value to do not get distracted.
There is one good improvement I see on the system and it is adding a possibility to add a number of tomatoes (or cicles) to each task, so we will be able to know on the list how many iterations we will need in order to complete the day. by Pomodone UAB on 26/02/2019 Thanks Eduardo!
There's almost nothing to criticize anymore. I was a fairly early adopter and gave the founders a hard time about making the app run faster and making it easier to switch tasks (instead of stopping a task and starting a new one). And they listened! Couple days ago I was pleased to see a new "Switch task" feature which means now I have no "dead time" in between tasks anymore. These guys are awesome!
two-way integration with some of my most commonly used tools (Trello, Slack, RescueTime....)
limited time log features - such as lack of visualizations by Pomodone UAB on 26/06/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, Andrew. We recently released new charts in the profile log, and working on team features.
Configuration cannot be synchronized between different devices. by Pomodone UAB on 28/02/2019 Mathieu, thanks a lot for the review. You're right, we don't sync config between devices as we consider the different context type of use it on mobile, desktop, web etc. However, we're working on unified cloud timer and cloud sessions at the moment, and I believe this one will be exactly the one you're talking about, wouldn't it?
So this is an interesting product which I stumbled upon somewhat by accident. Originally I was looking for something that popped up a simple Pomodoro timer (it does that too!) but I quickly got to love the integrations (I used Trello and Toodledo) and I could pull in my backlog from those easily and then schedule them as Pomodoro's. And ... I could then push that activity for Toggl Timer for time tracking. It really has become my 'go to' app for centralising my time management.
So I've had few issues with the integrations themselves (re-connecting an account flushes any issues) but the UI can sometimes be a little "funky" - on a Mac the window behaviour is odd at times with the window remaining hidden meaning I have to close and re-open. It's pretty cosmetic though. by Pomodone UAB on 18/02/2019 Thanks a lot for your review and feedback, it's much appreciated!
Not really a con, but there seems to be so much more still to discover by Pomodone UAB on 27/06/2019 Thanks a lot for your review! Much appreciated! And you're certainly right, there are plenty of hidden features!
Easy to use and seamless connection to asana and other tasks tracking services
Be able to run pomodoros on sub-tasks from asana
Integrates well with other popular apps such as Todoist, Trello, Zapier; works well and lets you customize time choices for work time and break time.
Want more sound choices on IPAD, iPhone; would like to see Apple Watch application; would like to see time remaining on screen while working on other apps. by Pomodone UAB on 01/07/2019 Thanks a lot for the review and feedback, Randee. We recently added new sound pack to our mobile versions (including the iOS one).
The user interface is quite technical and not optimal for ease of use. by Pomodone UAB on 19/02/2019 Thanks a lot Alexander, we do appreciate your feedback!
Focusing is part tools being used and how you actually follow the tools. PomoDoneApp has helped a lot with it's integration with two of the tools that help me most: Asana and RescueTime. Using zap integrations I can use FocusTime sessions in RescueTime which helps a lot to actually follow the Pomodoro timer without distractions until the session has ended. So "little distractions" are easy to avoid by the enforcement from RescueTime and all it's done by just using PomoDoneApp.
The interface is not as great when it comes to handling a running task. I mean, I would like to be able to get the task to auto-run itself and auto-run new sessions so I don't have to go manually and start up a new session for the current task. by Pomodone UAB on 26/02/2019 Hi Jose Luis, Thanks a lot for the review!
There are several things I like. It helps me take breaks, is easy to use, has a good selection of connections to other services, and it can be used on different platforms. The one thing I like the most is the Trello integration. I use Trello for everything, and being able to track progress on specific cards in Trello is a big advantage for me. I lay out the structure of my projects and tasks in Trello and then track time on Pomodone.
One thing I miss is synchronization across platforms. When I start a session on my phone I would like to continue the same session on my laptop. Since I am one person only it does not make sense to have diffrerent sessions running. I would also like to see identical functionality across platforms. There are also some synchronization issues related to compeleting tasks/cards in Trello by Pomodone UAB on 18/02/2019 Thanks a lot, Cato!
Doesn't try and re-invent the task management side and integrates with other applications really well.
I think the UI could do with a re-work, bring in the flat design of Andriod / Windows 10. by Pomodone UAB on 06/03/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, Anthony!
Automatic short and long breaks with customizable timers, sounds, and messages
The settings are difficult to figure out
I love that it takes all my tasks from Todoist and Trello and I can set the timer and work away then see what tasks I've worked on for today. I love the fact there's an Android app too when I'm not at the computer. I also like the shell integration so I can have a raspberry pi timer I made which keeps in sync with the app.
Android app is a little buggy, doesn't auto sync at start, sometimes I lose timer even when I don't optimise app in settings which is suggested in app. Also, in the Android app could there be a running notification with the time remaining? That might fix issues with losing timers.
I like how it does exactly what it says it's going to do, which is help me keep track of time. I like that you can set timers to be different lengths, which is really critical for me. I also think that for folks who are really committed to pomodoro, it makes it really easy to move from work sessions to breaks in the recommended order.
I am not 100% committed to Pomodoro, I like timers because they help me work efficiently and stay on task. So for me, I got annoyed when it would try to force me to conform by reminding me that i had no timers running or send me automatically to my next session, but after a little while I figured out how to adjust my preferences which was good. There are some things I think could be easier, for example, if I have something that repeats regularly, say sales calls-- I would like to be able to select that project, and then add today's calls to the list as subtasks. I have a feeling it's possible to do this but I haven't quite figured it out yet and for now it's just easier to use the todoist integration. I don't think the evernote integration is especially helpful in that I don't see that it adds value to either program but other people may use it differently.
I do not like that I do not have a screen lock option or blocking the computer during breaks. by Pomodone UAB on 25/06/2019 Hi Rafael, Thanks a lot for your review!We have powershell/applescript integration that can help you to block or lock your computer on break ;)Settings > Advanced > AppleScript/Shell Script. For Windows the snippet will be "rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation"
PomoDone offers a great way to track not only work but reading and any other computer activity you Do, it’s easy to set up, you can track projects from your task manager and note taking applications.
I think the ui could be a little more friendly.
I have no complaints so far. It has delivered on what it promised.
Tight integration with my to-do manager (Nozbe in this case) allows me to manage my todos for the day in my task manager. once I've mapped my day, I go to pomo to get them done with laser focus and great reporting capabilities.
In reference to my previous post,this is for WHEN I feel super productive. If I didn't get to map my day or I spend a significant time on unplanned work this app goes unused. There is too much of a barrier to creating good tasks for unplanned work.
PomoDone App is great to use by itself but even more so if connected to other apps like Trello etc.
I can't imagine anything I don't like. Well, maybe that it wasn't available before ~2017 (I would've loved to use it for the past 2 decades :))
What I love about PomoDone is that it pulls all of my Trello cards into one simple interface that is easy to navigate and easy to organize. The app makes it easy for me to choose an amount of time I work on a project and gives me the option to switch tasks if I finish a task early in a pomodoro or need to switch due to a change in plans. I also love how easy it is to customize the system to match my working style and I can even change the interface to a "dark" mode so that it's easier on my eyes than staring at a glaring white interface. A fabulous user experience overall.
The only thing that really bugs me is that it's really hard to edit my time log or add untracked time to the log from the app. Sometimes I forget to switch the timer on, or I get on a roll and accidentally work through a long break and I want to capture that time in my log. You always have to go to the website to fix that and I really wish I could just do it all in the desktop app. by Pomodone UAB on 08/07/2019 Thanks a lot Meagen, we do our best to deliver v.2.0 with the in-app log edit functionality.
Pomodone App is design to help you use the Pomodoro Technique. It go integration with third party taskmanager. It got a log of your time and task. You can use it as a task manager. You have many option for work and pause lenght and order. I can switch between task without stoping the timer.
I can't add a task while the timer is running. The task manager GUI is not appealing. Editing a task is not as easy as creating one. The log is only available through the website and not the app.
Hope it will support more service specific functionality. by Pomodone UAB on 26/02/2019 Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Not the biggest lover of the GUI
Works with many tools like Gmail, outlook, and Trello.
None. They are always adding more features.
Its integration with Trello and Todoist. It is an invaluable tool to track time, help you to focus and stay on track. It’s multiplatform which is a major plus as my work life is Microsoft and personal life Apple products. I have been using it for professional and personal use and found the insights into how I spend my time a major plus in my quest to get more out of life. I highly recommend this app for anyone that uses productivity software to track their todos and want that extra layer of analysis and time management. The free version provides virtually all the functionality you will need to test before paying any cash.
Some of the functionality / features are split between the mobile and web versions but this doesn’t take long to master, and the developers are working on further functionality to bring this together. In addition, being able to use it on any browser makes this slight downside meaningless.
TL;DR: In a few words: great customization + great small features that make the difference.
- I wish the progress bars were shown somehow on the iPhone app (both the daily progress and the Pomodoro one). Also, the play and stop buttons sometimes disappear on the iPhone app (I have an iPhone SE).
This app is available on multiple platforms and offers plenty of integrations with other services online. The app is updated frequently which is great. The app offers plenty of customizable settings such as reminding you to track your time in a specific time window. Customer support is impeccable.
The app sometimes has some issues when syncing with other apps that it integrates with, you can only set a single window for the notification to get back to work. by Pomodone UAB on 27/05/2019 Thanks a lot for the review, Sean, we do appreciate your support and help!
Using the PomoDon App has been invaluable in tracking projects and keeping not only me, but our entire #slack channel on track and working.
Somewhat complex to set up, but with the prompt assistance of customer support, accomplished in little overall time.
There is a lot to like in PomoDone App. It is a high-quality product, that provides a plethora of features and integrations with third-party services. The web, desktop, and mobile versions of the app are all excellent. The team is continuously working on adding new features and integrations. In general, the customer service is phenomenal. Responses are very quick and very thorough. Each time I have written to suggest a feature or an integration, the team has replied with details on when a requested feature is coming, if it's on the way, or why it is not going to happen, or why the requested integration is not currently supported (e.g. the third-party does not offer an adequate API).
I would have liked to be able to operate the Pomodoro timer without assigning a task to the session. I suppose it's possible to create a generic task called "other", or something along those lines, and always select it, but it would have been nice to have the option to "dumb-down" the app if the user chooses to.
This has worked really well for me. I used to set kitchen and scientific timers for work sessions, but online and with the app is immensely more convenient. I think my favorite thing is that I can integrate my considerable number of ToDoist tasks with the Pomodone timer. I also greatly appreciate that Pomodone allows for several different timer lengths for work and for breaks. It definitely has been worth it for me.
Maybe the subscription is a little on the expensive side? by Pomodone UAB on 18/02/2019 Thanks a lot for your review! You can always contact us, we run different campaigns and there are the ways to get a special offer!
I like it syncs between my PC and mobile app. The way I use it is to import tasks from Todoist and work on them using Pomodone - can't get better than this.
One thing that maybe could be improved would be real time sync with apps and task within them. And also a view of eg. my Todoist projects/tasks inside the Pomodone app (now it opens a page in your browser). But it would just be a matter of even better conveniency. It works just well as it is. by Pomodone UAB on 17/02/2020 Thanks a lot for your review, Maciej, we do appreciate it!
I like that I can use a Chrome Extension to start timers in Trello and Google Docs. I like that the free version is enough for me, and that it integrates with the project management platform I always use so that I can get an automatic task list.
It takes forever to sync with Trello, so even though I'm supposed to get the automatic task list, oftentimes I don't. That's why I end up using the timer in my browser instead of using the desktop app. by Pomodone UAB on 31/01/2020 Thanks a lot for the review and feedback, Lucinda. Can we ask you to contact our support to sort things out with Trello sync? Thanks!
Integrates with many to do and task managers apps, even email (via Outlook)
UI could benefit from customization options
-It is easy to set up your own timers
-Synchronization does not function always well. For example, in my App, the tasks due for today in Asana are tagged as due for tomorrow, and the tsk due for today are tagged as "Overdue." by Pomodone UAB on 24/09/2019 Hi Andrea, Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Pomodone is an app that integrates very well with Wunderlist and that allows me to be aware of all my pending work. When I use Pomodone I am more focused on my activities and always try to personalize the times through the preferences. In addition, I have integrated the Pomodone extension to the browser and it always reminds me that I am doing an important task, and I must avoid interruptions. I have seen that they listen a lot to the consumer and have excellent support.
I think I lose many important features of Pomodone when using it with a free account, basically it is almost mandatory to buy a plan, otherwise, my task lists are messed up too. by Pomodone UAB on 23/07/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, Veronica, it's much appreciated!
I don't really want to "track" during a meeting - and I have a lot of them. Calendar integration could be better, along with an easier way to add in items to track that don't require me to leave the app and deal with a pop up form. by Pomodone UAB on 16/07/2019 Thanks a lot for your feedback and review, Erin. Can you please contact us to solve the popup issue? It's configurable. Thank you!
I need some reporting fetches which are missing in the current version. But I hope the development team will implement them in the nearest future.
the absence of integration with my exchange calendar by Pomodone UAB on 10/07/2019 Thanks a lot for the review and feedback, much appreciated!
Some integrations are not as straightforward but they are only setup once.
- flawless Todoist integration - Custom integrations - I have a dot matrix task timer powered by a Raspberry Pi - Windows app shortcuts! - There's an Android app!!! Handy when I'm away from workstation or I require a system reboot - Task tracking history - Reminds me when I'm not doing any work or the timer isn't going
- Sometimes Todoist reports as unreachable. A simple few retries would help. - Windows app keyboard shortcuts broken (such as switch app) - Windows app doesn't have the ability to start a break timer without selecting a task - Windows app doesn't have a shortcut to start a break. It's a bit fiddly to start a break otherwise by Pomodone UAB on 08/07/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, Timothy, it's much appreciated!
Cross platform and integrate many service
I can't have time estimate of each task. by Pomodone UAB on 03/07/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, Leo! It's much appreciated!
No version for Linux (have to use web version)
Easy to use, simple platform, connects well with Google Calendar.
Not many features. Would like to be able to add time to prior weeks without having to add the event to my current week on the calendar. by Pomodone UAB on 27/06/2019 Thanks a lot, Jeremy, your feedback is much appreciated!
I started using Pomodone years ago while doing a PhD. Some of the newest features I enjoy the most and that have been very helpful in my current position as a freelancer consultant is the integration with Google Calendar, where Pomodone adds to my calendar the tasks I've been working that day. I have sent the pie charts showing how much time was spent overall on each task on any given project (during whatever period you wish) to my work colleagues and they really enjoyed that. Very helpful too indeed for project management and invoicing clients.
I find it great that there is a Pomodone integration with Chrome, allowing you to track how much time you spend on a particular website. However, I have found that this sometimes crashes with the desktop app if I have it open as well and the time spent on that task ends up not being registered. This feature needs improvement but in essence, I think it is a great idea. by Pomodone UAB on 27/06/2019 Hi Melissa, Thanks a lot for your review and feedback! We're improving our Chrome ext and overall ecosystem all the time and doing our best to avoid losing the time records. We also joined GiHub Education Program, so there are now official free plans for Students and discount for educational staff. Thanks!
Its UI simplicity and variety of integrations
I'd really like to be able to change my Jira tickets state (open, wip, done, etc) by Pomodone UAB on 25/06/2019 Hi Claudio, Thanks a lot for your review, we do appreciate your support. We're working on inner automation and going to deliver plenty of option in a while. Thanks again!
I have tried many pomodoro-style timers over the years. For me PomoDone excels in two main aspects:
As with most customisable applications, sometimes the number of features can be a bit overwhelming and you may not need to use all of them. by Pomodone UAB on 31/05/2019 Thanks a lot for the review, we do appreciate it!
1. It would be nice if reporting were a bit easier to deal with. I would like to be able to tag specific tasks, not just entire projects, with different tags. Note this is for personal use (when am I writing vs. working on stats vs. literature review). by Pomodone UAB on 27/06/2019 Thanks a lot for your feedback, Ryan, it's much appreciated!
What I most appreciate about this app is the available tie in with Todoist. As an academic, I am involved in course work and academic related tasks on a regular basis. My tasks go into Todoist, and through the connected nature of the tasks, I am able to create Pomodoros around what I need to complete. The focused burst of 25 minute work sessions is a great tool which Pomodone offers.
I can find nothing to dislike about this software. It a superior product and tech support is responsive to functionality suggestions. by Pomodone UAB on 05/03/2019 Thanks a lot for the review, Greg, much appreciated!
The software is very easy to understand in agreement with my targets, it's fast and doesn't need strong resources in which respects to memory and disk space.
Nothing in special, however might be could be useful, to introduction some features to turn more easily the management of tasks in agreement with the priority. I suggest the use of Eisenhour approach/methodology for this. by Pomodone UAB on 06/03/2019 Thanks a lot for the review, Rogelio!
It loads very fast and has great integration options with e.g. Google Tasks and Evernote. It can be customised on how many minutes of task length and breaks you want as well.
Some of the task lists do not show completely and you have to click to reveal all tasks on a list that you want to work on. It is a small inconvenience, however. by Pomodone UAB on 06/03/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, Michael. You can configure how many tasks should be visible by default in the app's settings, so you won't need to click More to reveal all the tasks.
I really appreciate PomoDone and have not much to complain about. What would be nice however, is a better functionality for offline use. by Pomodone UAB on 26/02/2019 Thanks a lot Lisa, we do appreciate your feedback!
With the ability to mute applications like Slack PomoDone helps me stay focused on what I need
I want to dive more into the powershell integrations though that requires a bit more of a learning curve by Pomodone UAB on 28/02/2019 Thanks a lot for your review, David, it's much appreciated!
I love three things:
Nothing, I just really like it, nay LOVE IT. by Pomodone UAB on 26/02/2019 David, huge thanks for your review! We do appreciate your support!
The interface is very nicely done. I use PomoDone on Mac OS and Ubuntu 18.04 and it works well on both platforms. I can track work at the office and self-study at home and get a consolidated view of where my time has gone. I use the local projects feature as well as Google tasks w/ subtasks.
I have no real criticisms of the product. It would be nice if I could assign a goal/count of Pomodoros to a given task to improve my planning process. by Pomodone UAB on 18/02/2019 Thanks a lot, Ford, much appreciated!
I like how it incorporates integration with Asana and Todoist to complement my personal operating system.
I've never used the dashboard because it seemed to be double counting my effort but have since learned the workaround and that a fix is in the works.
It could be usefull to get a easier way to start a pomodoro timer without link to any recorded task
I like how customizable the software is. A lot of pomo-timers lock you into a 25/5 minute cycle. This timer allows you to set multiple work/break intervals depending on your preferences. I also appreciate the large number of integrations that help me manage tasks, calendar items and issues. I use the Slack, Github and Google Tasks integrations all the time and I like that I don't have to duplicate information across multiple GTK sites... PomoDoneApp just integrates them into my tasks. Lastly, the cross-platform versions of this software can't be understated. This is the only one I've found that works (and works well) on all of Linux, MacOS and iOS.
There are in some cases too many options for customization, some of which don't necessarily do what you expect. In particular, I'm thinking of the actions when the timer starts and expires. I also find the "your timer isn't running" notifications to be very obnoxious, and the only way to "customize" it is to turn it off.
The integration with Outlook, GitHub and Ever note are great. Posting task completion to Microsoft Teams automatically is another great feature. This is the best pomodoro timer that integrates to my other apps.
I would have rather paid a subscription for the entire product.
I really do not like the IPAD version. The “look” of the app is not appealing and it doesn’t alarm well. Would like to see it look and feel more like BeFocusedPro - It syncs the IPAD, iPhone and Apple Watch so all are running alike at the same time. That does not happen with the PomoDoneApp. So even though BeFocusedPro does not integrate with other apps, I have ended up using it more because of its “look, feel”, alarming and synchronization across devices.
- Fácil de configurar
Here is the one major flaw: At least for my Asana integration, there‘s no ability to rearrange/sort tasks. But thats pretty much the only negative thing I expirienced
What I like the most about this software is that I can add the websites which I do not want to interfere with my work. So even though, I am depending on some dictionaries on the internet I still get access to the dictionaries by adding to the extension in Chrome.
I am not pleased with the fact that it is not possible to synchronize the Desktop app with the app for my smartphone. Then the software would be working in the most optimal way for me.
PomoDone has a lot of great integrations that allow me to select the best To Do app for me. I have tried a number of different To Do apps like Remember the Milk, Microsoft ToDo, Google Tasks, etc. And the notifications I can add to Slack make this an invaluable part of my productivity tool suite.
I think they have spent a lot of time making the UI intuitive and easy to use but I think they can make improvements to the reporting system. Now that I'm no longer a freelance developer, I don't need as detailed reports (for invoices, etc.) but it still helps to be able to report back to my colleagues during scrum what I worked on the day before. So a better UI for reporting makes sense to me.
The slack integration, and the time tracking.
The Mac app has a hard time staying full screen, sync is sometimes inconsistent.
The fact that I can integrate my Trello/Evernote/Zapier on here has been amazing. I'm able to track on a daily / weekly basis where I'm spending the most time and re-assess if more time is needed or am I actually unaware about the activity and how much time it gives me. I've been using the web application for a week now and feel more productive than I have all year. Amazing!
None yet. I will reach out to customer service if and when I find some. As they are amazing at resolving issues/questions.
