Focus. Track. Achieve. PomoDash is the gamified Pomodoro timer that combines the Pomodoro technique with intelligent task management and productivity analytics. Stop measuring time. Start measuring progress. WHY POMODASH? Most focus timers are just stopwatches. They track minutes but never tell you if you're actually becoming more productive. PomoDash is different. Every focus session, every completed task, every break taken—it all counts toward your Productivity Score (0-100). See exactly what's working and what's not. Whether you need structured 25-minute sprints or prefer uninterrupted deep work sessions, PomoDash adapts to your focus style. CORE FEATURES - AI-Powered Task Input: Say "Database setup, 2 hours" and PomoDash auto-generates the task with priority, category, and time estimate built in. No manual data entry needed. - Productivity Score (0-100) Your score is based on four real factors: • Completion Rate: What % of your tasks do you finish? • Focus Consistency: How regular are your focus sessions? • Focus Efficiency: Are your sessions actually productive? • Break Balance: Do you maintain healthy work-life balance? - Weekly Goals Framework Set weekly targets instead of daily stress: • Target focus hours (e.g., 30 hours/week) • Target completed tasks (e.g., 15 tasks/week) • Target focus sessions (e.g., 20 sessions/week) Watch real-time progress toward each goal. Adjust weekly. - Dual Focus Modes: • Classic Pomodoro: Work in focused 25-minute sprints with structured breaks • Flow Timer: Count up to 2 hours for deep work sessions without interruption. Break suggestions when you're ready, not when a timer says so. - Project-Based Task Organization: Don't just track tasks—organize them into projects with deadlines. See which projects are consuming your focus time. Track which ones are actually on schedule. - Calendar View: Visual overview of all your tasks and deadlines. See what's due when at a glance. - Integrated Notes: Add detailed notes to tasks, projects, or create freeform notes. Keep context and references in one place. - Smart Break Management: After each focus session, PomoDash suggests a break. Smart reminders keep you accountable to healthy habits. Skip if needed. - Pinwall Dashboard: Pin your most important tasks, projects, and notes to a dashboard for quick access. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS • Native iOS design optimized for speed • Dark mode support • Customizable focus session durations • Push notifications for session reminders • Search and filter across tasks and projects • Category and project color coding • Encrypted cloud sync • No ads.
