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:
- Charge you $5/month for a countdown timer
- Require Google sign-in to start a 25-minute session
- 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).
