Petomato - Cozy Pomodoro & Focus Timers

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Rene, the maker of Petomato. Most Pomodoro timers are effective but a little… sterile. I'd start a session, ignore the timer, and lose the thread. I wanted focus to feel rewarding — something that makes you *want* to come back for the next session. So I built Petomato: a tiny retro-LCD gadget that lives in your menu bar with a pixel pet that hatches from an egg and grows as you complete focus sessions. Hit your daily goal and it reaches full size. It turns "just one more Pomodoro" into "keep my little buddy growing." 🍅🐾 A few things I'm proud of: • 🎧 Real lo-fi tracks + ambient sounds (rain & thunder, ocean, café) — or point it at your own music folder • 🎨 Six skins (Game Boy, Midnight, Neon, Sunset…) that re-style the whole gadget, with live preview • ✅ Tasks with per-task time + one-tap start, stats & streaks • 🧘 Strict-mode breaks + (on macOS) site blocking that yanks distracting tabs to a blank page • 🪟 Draggable mini widget, and it lives quietly in the tray It's free, open source, no accounts, no ads, no trackers — macOS & Windows. This started as a "make focus fun for myself" side project and snowballed. Would love your feedback on the pet/growth mechanic especially — does it actually motivate you, or just make you smile? Either is a win. 🙂
