One page a day

Open it and you see today: a big date on dotted paper and your tasks along an hour timeline.

  • Hour timeline. Tasks with a start time sit at their hour; the rest wait at the top.
  • Drag ≡ to schedule. Hold the handle and drop a task on any hour; its start time follows.
  • Week view. Monday to Sunday on one page, like a paper planner. Tap a day to open it.
  • Turn the page. Swipe left or right for yesterday and tomorrow, tap the date for a month calendar, Today to come back.
  • Daily summary. Planned total and real total, side by side.

The timer

Not 25-minute rounds. A task takes as long as it takes, and Pomodate tells you the truth.

Tap to start
59:59
counts down from the planned 1h
Overtime
+12:30
keeps going, no forced stop

actual 1h 12m
the real time is what counts
  • Pause and resume as often as you like. Every stretch of work adds up to the real time.
  • No limit: leave out the planned time and the timer simply counts up.
  • One task at a time. Start another and Pomodate asks before pausing the first.
  • Lock the phone, switch apps, close the page: the time stays right. Pomodate remembers when you started and works it out again when you come back.
  • The screen can stay on while timing, and a soft chime plays when the planned time is up (while the page is open).

Bullet-journal symbols

Each task shows its state with a symbol, the way you would write it on paper.

  • To do
  • Timing · orange in overtime
  • Paused · 14:59 left

  • Migrated to another day
  • Future log for a later month
  • Cancelled · kept as a record

Swipe right: migrate >

Didn’t get to it? Swipe a task right and pick a day on a little week page that shows what is already planned. The old entry stays as > → Oct 28, with its time kept.

Swipe left: future log <

Not this month? Swipe left and drop it into a month of the Future Log. Each month has its own handwritten name and a seasonal pixel plant.

Grow a tomato

A tomato a day, a vine a week, and a contest at the end of the year.

Mark a task ★ Important, ! Urgent, and Easy / Medium / Hard. Finishing it makes today’s tomato grow:

20 g × importance × difficulty = 10 – 80 g

Important but not urgent is worth the most (×2): doing the big things early is what Pomodate wants to reward.

  • Blossom0 g
  • Green20 g
  • Turning60 g
  • Ripe100 g
  • Plump160 g
  • Champion240 g

It has moods

It blinks, smiles when you finish, gets dizzy if you fling it, worries in overtime and sleeps at night. Drag it, throw it, tap it; it bounces off the edges.

  • Happy
  • Blinking
  • Surprised
  • Dizzy
  • Worried
  • Asleep

A vine every week

Each day of the week grows a different variety. At the bottom of the week view, the seven hang together on one vine.

  • Mon
  • Tue
  • Wed
  • Thu
  • Fri
  • Sat
  • Sun

The wardrobe

Reach a goal to unlock something to wear. Tap your tomato to dress it up.

Your data stays with you

  • No account, no server. Your tasks are saved only in this browser on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
  • Back up any time. Menu → Export backup saves one JSON file (on iPhone: “Save to Files”). Import backup brings it back.
  • Deleting the app deletes your data. Removing Pomodate from the Home Screen, or clearing Safari’s website data, erases your tasks. Export a backup now and then.
  • No alarms while locked. A web page can’t ring or send notifications while the phone is locked or Pomodate is in the background. The time stays correct; you just need to look.
