## What is Pomelo?

Pomelo brings your tasks and your focus timer together, so you can decide what matters and then actually do it. 

Plan your day, start the timer on a task, and Pomelo logs the time for you. No account needed. Your tasks stay on your device.

FOCUS YOUR WAY
• Pomodoro timer with focus sessions and breaks, in durations you choose
• Free timer that counts up from 0:00, for work that doesn't fit a fixed length
• Time is logged to the task or goal you're working on
• A Live Activity keeps the timer on your Lock Screen
• Focus mode clears everything but the work in front of you

REACH YOUR GOALS
• Gather related tasks under a goal, with an optional date
• See each goal's progress, time left and time logged
• Work on a goal from the timer, and its next task comes up by itself
• Break any task into a checklist and tick off the steps as you go

KNOW WHAT TO DO FIRST
• Mark tasks as urgent, important or both, and see them on a priority matrix
• Today, Tomorrow and Later views keep your plan simple
• Quick wins gather the small tasks you can finish between bigger ones
• See your tasks in a day, 3-day or week calendar
• Bring in your Reminders and calendar events, if you allow it

SMART, ON YOUR iPHONE
On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Pomelo can suggest durations and priorities, and turn a brain dump into a list of tasks to review. It all runs on your device, and your task titles never leave it.

SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES
Focus history shows your sessions and the time you've spent over days and months.

MADE TO FEEL YOURS
Choose a color palette, in light or dark mode. Pomelo is available in English, Turkish and Polish.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your tasks are stored on your device and aren't uploaded anywhere. The only data that leaves it is anonymous crash reports, and any feedback you choose to send.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.0.7 — 2026-11-05

Pomelo now works on iPad, with the timer beside your tasks and a layout that fits any window.

New: Trello. Bring in cards from the boards and lists you choose, schedule a whole list for today in one tap, and finishing a task updates its card in Trello.

Repeating tasks: daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly or your own rhythm. A finished one comes back on its next date, checklist unticked.

Now in German, Spanish, French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, with Polish and Turkish complete.

### 0.0.6 — 2026-11-03

- Introducing "Goals": group tasks under a goal, with an optional date, and track progress and time logged
- Introducing "Checklists": break a task into steps and tick them off as you go
- Timer mode: Free timer: count up with no fixed length or breaks, and log the time when you stop
- Work through a goal from the timer: its next task comes up by itself
- New app icon and launch animation
- Links in task descriptions now open in the browser
- Smoother animations and a quicker way to the timer's settings

### 0.0.4 — 2026-10-05

What's new in 0.0.4

- Brain dump (experimental): tap the brain icon in the bottom bar, write down everything on your mind, and Pomelo turns it into tasks for you to review. Needs an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
- Smarter suggestions: on iPhones with Apple Intelligence, suggested durations and priorities come from the on-device model. Suggested priorities are now selected for you, and you can always change them.
- Smart features in Settings: turn suggestions and brain dump on or off, and see whether your iPhone supports Apple Intelligence.
- New calendar: day, 3-day and week views in one place, opening at the start of your day. Tap an empty slot to add a task.
- Priority matrix per page: open it from Today, Tomorrow or Later to see just that page's open tasks.
- Send feedback: report a bug or share an idea right from Settings.
- About and Privacy are now one page, and the app walkthrough has been removed.
- Colours and labels follow your palette and dark mode more closely, plus several fixes.

### 0.0.3 — 2026-09-30

- Starting a timer without a task now asks what you're working on — type a name and it creates the task and starts, or pick one you already have.

- Swipe the task on the focus screen: right to finish it, left to take it off the session. Finishing keeps the timer running and offers the next task, and your time now stays with the task you actually spent it on.

- Tasks added from the timer no longer get a priority you never chose, and priority colours match everywhere.

- Sheets across the app share one look, with better contrast in dark mode.

### 0.0.2 — 2026-09-17

- Lock Screen and Dynamic Island is now supported. Icons match your color palette, and you can turn it off in Timer settings.
- Short breaks can now be as short as 1 minute.
- The "Human friendly" timer format no longer jumps to an exact minute count each minute while the timer runs
- Showing or hiding completed tasks now gives a short confirmation
- Bug fixes and stability improvements
