Pomota — A Distraction-Free Pomodoro Timer You Can Self-Host

The Pomodoro Technique works. But most Pomodoro apps do not.

They are either subscription-based, bloated with features, or require accounts. You just want a timer. Pomota gives you exactly that.

What Is Pomota?

An open-source, self-hostable Pomodoro timer. Clean UI, customizable durations, keyboard shortcuts. No account, no ads, no tracking.

Features

  • ⏱️ Customizable work/break durations
  • 🔔 Audio notifications
  • ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts
  • 🌙 Works offline
  • 🎨 Minimal, beautiful design
  • 🔒 No data collection

Why Another Pomodoro App?

Because existing ones either:

  1. Charge you $5/month for a countdown timer
  2. Require Google sign-in to start a 25-minute session
  3. Have more analytics than actual timer functionality

Pomota respects your time AND your privacy.

Self-Host It

Clone it, deploy to Vercel/Netlify/GitHub Pages in 60 seconds. Your timer, your server, your data (which is none, because it collects nothing).

GitHub: github.com/p32929/pomota

Also check out PotatoTimer for a fun twist on the same concept.
