## Product

- **Name**: Pomodoro.in

- **Type**: Web Application (browser-based, client-side only)
- **Cost**: Free — no premium tiers, no subscriptions, no paid features
- **Category**: Productivity / Time Management / Focus Tools

## What It Does

Pomodoro.in provides a Pomodoro timer and focus productivity suite running entirely in the browser. It implements the Pomodoro Technique — a time management method that breaks work into timed intervals (typically 25 minutes) separated by short breaks (5 minutes). After four focus intervals, users take a longer break (15 minutes).

The app also includes task management, an analytics dashboard with streaks and heatmaps, gamification (XP and rank leveling), a distraction tracker, and visual theme customization. All data is stored locally using IndexedDB. There is no server, no database, and no user accounts.

## Core Features

- **Pomodoro Timer**: Countdown timer with configurable focus, short break, and long break durations (focus: 1–120 min, short break: 1–15 min, long break: 10–45 min)
- **Task Management**: Create tasks with priorities (High/Medium/Low via #high syntax) and categories; link tasks to sessions for tracking
- **Analytics Dashboard**: Total focus time, current/best streaks, session count, focus quality score, weekly bar chart, category donut chart, 365-day GitHub-style heatmap, chronotype analysis (Early Bird / Afternoon Sprinter / Night Owl), AI Coach insights
- **Gamification**: 1 XP per focus minute; 8 ranks: Novice → Apprentice → Scholar → Adept → Expert → Master → Grandmaster → Legend
- **Distraction Tracker**: Log distractions during sessions; calculates focus quality % (100% minus 5% per distraction per hour)
- **Customization**: 10+ wallpaper presets, adjustable glass opacity/blur/border, dark and light mode for content pages
- **Offline-first**: Works without internet once loaded; Web Worker timer runs accurately in background tabs
- **Local-first**: All data in browser IndexedDB; nothing sent to servers; clearing browser data deletes everything

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is a Pomodoro timer?**
A Pomodoro timer breaks work into 25-minute focus intervals followed by 5-minute breaks. After 4 intervals, you take a 15-30 minute long break. Created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.

**Is Pomodoro.in free?**
Yes. Fully free with no premium tiers, no subscriptions, and no paid features.

**Does it work offline?**
Yes. Once loaded, all features work without internet. The timer uses a Web Worker for accurate background timekeeping.

**Is my data private?**
All data is stored in your browser's IndexedDB. Nothing is sent to any server. There are no accounts, no tracking, and no data collection.

**Can I customize timer durations?**
Yes. Focus: 1–120 min. Short break: 1–15 min. Long break: 10–45 min. Long break interval: configurable.

**How many Pomodoros per day?**
Most practitioners recommend 8–12 Pomodoros (3.5–5 hours of deep focus) as a realistic daily target. Quality over quantity.

**What is deep work?**
Deep work (Cal Newport) is professional activity performed in distraction-free concentration that pushes cognitive limits. Produces high value, builds skills, and is increasingly rare and valuable.

**What study techniques work with the Pomodoro timer?**
Active recall, spaced repetition, interleaving, and the Feynman Technique all pair well with timed study sessions.
