Pomodoro Buddy

What it does:

Pomodoro Buddy is a calm, friendly focus timer designed to help you start work, stay present, and take mindful breaks — without pressure, guilt, or distraction.

It’s built for people who want structure without rigidity and productivity without burnout.

Pomodoro Buddy works quietly in the background so you can focus on what matters.

Features:

• One-tap Pomodoro focus sessions
• Reliable background timer that continues even when the popup is closed
• Calm notifications when a focus or break session ends
• Keyboard shortcut to start focus instantly
• Simple breathing guidance during breaks
• Minimal, distraction-free interface
• Works fully offline

All settings and timer state are saved locally on your device.

Privacy & Permissions:

Pomodoro Buddy is designed with privacy as a first principle.

Permissions used:

• Alarms – to run focus and break timers reliably in the background
• Notifications – to notify you when a focus session or break ends
• Storage – to save timer state and preferences locally on your device

What Pomodoro Buddy does NOT do:

• Does not access websites or page content
• Does not read browsing history or tabs
• Does not track user activity
• Does not collect personal data
• Does not use analytics or ads
• Does not send data to any server

All data stays locally on your device.
