Pomodoso is a local-first Chrome extension + web app that tracks your workday without breaking your flow. It auto-detects your Linear and GitHub tickets as you browse, runs a Pomodoro timer that measures real focused time per task, keeps your top 3 priorities and ad-hoc tasks, tracks recurring habits, and pulls in your Google Calendar to count actual meeting time. Everything you log becomes a daily and weekly report, ready to paste into standup, no manual copy-paste.
One thing that would make this way more useful for me is a quick way to mark a Pomodoro as "interrupted by a meeting" so the focused time doesn't get unfairly penalized. Maybe even a small badge in the daily report showing how many minutes were lost to context switching.
@serpil896232 Love this, it's exactly the kind of "reality of a workday" thinking Pomodoso is built around. 🙌
Right now, a Pomodoro can be marked as interrupted, but you're spot on that it doesn't yet capture why (a meeting vs. a distraction) or surface it back to you. Your idea of tagging an interruption as "interrupted by a meeting" and showing minutes lost to context switching in the daily report is genuinely great, especially since we already pull in your calendar, so we could even auto-suggest "meeting" when one overlaps.
I've just added it to the roadmap. Would the badge be more useful to you as time lost (minutes) or as a focus-quality signal (e.g. "3 clean pomodoros, 2 interrupted")? I'm curious about how you'd like to read it.
Thanks for taking the time to write this out, this is the good stuff. 🍅
Love that the timer only counts real focused time on each Linear or GitHub ticket, not just generic Pomodoro blocks. That kind of automatic, ticket-level breakdown is exactly what was missing from every other timer app I tried.
been waiting for something that pulls Linear tickets into a pomodoro without me touching anything, and it actually caught my current task the second i opened it. the auto standup report is a nice touch too.
One thing I'd love to see is a Slack or Teams integration that auto-posts your end-of-day summary to a designated channel. It would save me a step during standup prep and keep my team in the loop without me having to remember to share it. Even better if I could customize which projects or tasks get included in that auto-post.
the auto-detect for linear and github tickets is such a smart move, it removes that annoying context switch every time you start a pomodoro
