Pomonaut

Pomonaut features

Built for focused sessions

Everything you need to keep momentum

Pomonaut combines a clear kitchen timer with practical task tracking, two-way Todoist sync, calendar-aware session warnings, and persistence so you can start a session quickly and return exactly where you left off.

Sign up and you get all of it, including the cards markedPremium— free, for now.

Flexible session rhythm

Focus, short break, and long break durations are all yours to set. Your running session is saved to your account, so reloads and tab switches do not wipe your progress.

Task planning that stays close

Add tasks, estimate focus sessions, drag to reorder priorities, and keep one active task visible while you focus on the next concrete step.

Two-way Todoist sync

Premium

Import Todoist tasks — automatically skipping ones assigned to someone else — and stay in sync: completions and edits reconcile after every session and pause.

Focus mode

When a focus session is running, focus mode hides everything except the timer and active task, reducing visual noise during deep work.

Automatic flow

Pomonaut suggests short and long breaks based on completed focus sessions and can auto-start the next interval when you want a hands-off rhythm.

Spotify focus control

Premium

Connect Spotify to start music with focus sessions and pause it automatically when break time begins, keeping your work rhythm consistent.

Projects

Premium

Group tasks into colour-coded projects, filter the dashboard down to one of them, and keep the grouping in step with Todoist when it is connected.

Calendar-aware sessions

Add the iCal/ICS link from Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, Outlook, Nextcloud or Fastmail and see today's meetings next to your timer. Pomonaut warns you when the next focus session or break would run into one, so you stop starting 25 minutes you do not have.

Reports

Premium

Focus time, completion rate, streaks and the hours of the day you actually get work done, from the last three months of sessions.

Works with the calendar you already use

Google Calendar connects in one click, and you choose which of your calendars count — private ones included. Everything else joins through a standard iCalendar (ICS) link. Either way access is read-only: Pomonaut can see when you are busy, and can never change, add or delete anything. With Google it does not even ask what your entries are called — only whether you are free or busy at a given time.

Calendars it reads

  • Google Calendar, over a read-only connection to your account. No link to hunt for, private calendars work, and only your free/busy times ever reach us — entries show as "Busy" rather than by name.
  • Apple iCloud, Outlook and Microsoft 365, through the iCalendar address they publish for a calendar.
  • Nextcloud, Fastmail, Radicale and anything else that speaks iCalendar — including a private address that needs a username and password.

What Pomonaut does with it

  • Reads only entries that mark you busy — free-time, declined and cancelled entries are ignored, and so are all-day entries when checking for clashes.
  • Understands recurring meetings, moved instances and time zones, so a weekly standup shows up on the right day at the right time.
  • Refreshes when you open the dashboard and after every focus session, the same moment Todoist syncs.
  • Keeps your events in your browser only. They are never written to our database, so there is nothing to leak and nothing to purge.
