What is PomoDifferent?
It's Pomodoro, but different!
A smarter, more flexible approach to the Pomodoro Technique.
Traditional Pomodoro timers force you into rigid 25-minute work sessions. But real work doesn't always fit into perfect boxes. Sometimes you're in the flow and want to continue. Other times, you need a break after just 15 minutes.
As a developer, I created PomoDifferent to solve this problem. It lets you:
- Work when you're focused - no arbitrary interruptions
- Take breaks when your mind needs them
- Build up time credits during productive periods
- Use those credits for longer breaks when needed
The multiplier feature adds flexibility to your work sessions. Higher multipliers mean you earn or spend time credits faster, letting you adapt to your energy levels throughout the day.
Start by clicking 'work' when you're ready to focus, and 'lazy' when you need a break. The timer tracks your balance - just make sure you don't go too far into the red!
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes PomoDifferent different from other Pomodoro timers?
Unlike traditional Pomodoro timers that force you into rigid 25-minute sessions, PomoDifferent lets you work and take breaks based on your natural rhythm. You earn time credits while working and spend them during breaks.
How does the multiplier feature work?
The multiplier affects how quickly you earn or spend time credits. A higher multiplier means you'll earn more credits during work periods and spend them faster during breaks, letting you adapt to your energy levels throughout the day.
