Why another Pomodoro app?
There are plenty of Pomodoro apps out there - Forest, Be Focused Pro, Focus Keeper Pro… But none of them felt right for me. I wanted something that looked like it came out of a Game Boy, ran everywhere, and didn’t lock my data behind a subscription.
So I built Pixodoro - a Pomodoro timer with a retro pixel art UI, dithered backgrounds and all.
Multi-platform from the start
One of the main goals was to make this work everywhere. The app runs on:
- Web as a , so you can install it directly from the browser.
- Desktop using with a GoLang backend - lightweight and native-feeling.
- Mobile with React Native and React Native.
- Terminal using Ink, because why not.
All platforms share the same core through a @wren/app package. This means when I add a feature, it lands on every platform without re-implementing the business logic - I just need to adapt the views.
Features
The app has grown quite a bit since v0.1.0:
- Customizable timers for work, break and long break phases
- Session history tracking and daily goals
- Sound effects and ticking sounds with volume control
- Desktop notifications for phase transitions
- Cloud sync via Google Drive with client-side encryption - your data stays yours
