I built this because most Pomodoro timers felt too sterile.

I wanted something that actually pulls you in with rain, brown noise, soft ASMR, and a few Middle Eastern tracks. Added animated backgrounds so it’s not just a blank screen.

Runs fully in your browser. No accounts, no tracking, just open it and focus.

If you give it a try or have ideas to make it better, I’d love to hear.

Friendly reminder that you might want to drop “pomodoro” from your app.

To officially use the Pomodoro® name and logo in your application or platform, you must acquire a license.

I thought common words were free use...? You don't need a license with Apple to make an apple shaped pomodoro timer.

If you make shoes and call them pomodoros I guess that’s fine.

If you make an app that competes with and implements the same idea and you call it the same that doesn’t sound like “free” or “fair” use.
