Pomodoro Apps
-
Does anyone here use the Pomodoro technique for coding? I've used it to excellent effect before and would like to get back to it. That's why I'm asking for recommendations for a Pomodoro planning/tracking app. There are so many, and trying out individual ones is quite a hassle. What do you use/recommend?

Never heard of it before but did a quick scan... It looks a bit... suspicious :suss: Wouldn't it only work in you can split your tasks into equal segments of work? Let's say you have a 25 minute tomato... what happen when a piece of work takes 30 minutes, or 2 hours, etc?

The humor of that seems to have pasta you by.

If a Pomodoro takes more work than your timer, e.g. 25 minutes, either: a) You haven't divided your main tasks into separate little tasks. This skill grows very quickly as you begin to practice this technique. b) You stop working after 25 minutes, note that Pomodoro as unfinished, and after 5 minutes, you start a new Pomodoro and resume work on your ill-planned task.

Writing a Pomodoro tracker is very, very high on my todo list. I've been mentally planning one for years, but I stopped using the technique and forgot about it.

Should not an egg timer do the job?
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
An egg timer will work fine, but tracking your "sprints" (Pomodoros) helps you improve your time planning and use of the Pomodoro technique. Just like some agile shops have metrics on their sprints and others just follow very basic SCRUM techniques.

Thanks. that looks like a very helpful list, but before I go through each app on it, do you know of any Android apps that integrate with a desktop component. I can't imagine doing Pomodoro planning, with lots and lots of typing, only on my phone. It's a great phone but not so great.

Thanks, this looks like a great app, but I have one issue, and that's its "flat" todo list. I've just found an app that integrates with nearly all task management services/apps. E.g. I have just integrated it with Trello, which is a dedicated list manager. The app I've found has a desktop app, a Chrome extension, and a mobile app, and it's called [^]Pomodone.
