What should I do next?

Add your first task to get a personalized recommendation.

Capture every task

Add a task in seconds with a priority, an estimated duration, and an optional deadline. Nothing else to fill in.

See what's due, at a glance

A calendar built from your own tasks — click any day to see what's due, add a task, or reschedule with one click.

Focus without deciding twice

Once Pomop picks a task, one click starts a distraction-free focus timer for it, sized to the time you said you have.

A simple record of what got done

Completed tasks and minutes focused, day by day. No streaks, no points, no pressure — just a clear log.

How it works

Pomop runs entirely in your browser. No account, no server — your tasks and history never leave your device.

  1. Add your tasks

    Give each one a priority, an optional deadline, and how long you expect it to take.

  2. Get a recommendation

    Pomop weighs priority, deadline urgency, overdue status, and how long a task has been waiting, and tells you exactly which one to do next — and why.

  3. Start Focus

    One click starts a distraction-free timer for that task. Switch tabs and it keeps counting accurately in the background.

  4. Complete and repeat

    Mark it done and Pomop immediately recommends the next task, so you never have to stop and decide again.

How the Pomodoro Technique works

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method built around short, focused work intervals. You set a focus timer for 25 minutes, work without interruption, then take a 5-minute break, repeating that cycle four times before a longer 15 to 30 minute break. Pomop's focus timer defaults to that same 25-minute session and runs it for one specific task — the one it just recommended — so you skip the step of deciding what the next Pomodoro is for. You can pick a shorter or longer session (15 to 90 minutes) when you have more or less time, and change the default in Settings. Pomop doesn't time your breaks, so step away for a few minutes between sessions the way the technique suggests.

Frequently asked questions

How does Pomop decide what I should work on next?

A deterministic Decision Engine, not AI. It scores every pending task on priority, deadline urgency, overdue status, how long the task fits your available time, and how long it's been waiting, then recommends the highest-scoring one and shows you exactly why.

What if I don't want to do the recommended task?

"Choose another" re-ranks your remaining tasks and shows the next best option. Skipped tasks stay in your list — nothing is deleted or penalized.

Is my data private?

Yes. Pomop.app has no backend and no account system. Every setting, preset, and session in your history is stored only in your browser's local storage and is never sent to a server. The site does use Google Analytics, after you accept the cookie banner, to understand usage — it doesn't currently show ads. See our Privacy Policy page for details.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Pomop.app is a Progressive Web App. Install it from your browser and it will keep working without an internet connection.

What happens if I switch tabs while a timer is running?

The timer keeps counting accurately in the background — it measures elapsed time from timestamps rather than counting ticks, so it doesn't drift while the tab is hidden.

Will I still get notified if I'm in a different tab or app?

If you allow notifications when you press Start, Pomop.app will fire a browser notification when a session finishes, even if the tab is in the background.

Can I back up or move my data to another device?

Yes. Open Settings and use Export data to download your tasks, history, and settings as a JSON file, then use Import data on another device or browser to bring it back in.

Is the focus timer a Pomodoro timer?

It's a focus countdown for the one task you picked. Tell Pomop how much time you have — 15, 25, 45, 60, or 90 minutes — and it sizes the session to fit that time and the task's remaining estimate. 25 minutes, the classic Pomodoro length, is the default, and you can change it in Settings. Pomop doesn't schedule breaks for you, so take a short one between sessions.
