The core feature is <strong>BYODB (Bring Your Own Database)</strong>. </p> <p>Instead of locking your tasks and focus history into a proprietary cloud, you just link your Google account, and it uses your own Google Sheet to store everything. </p> <p>It handles Pomodoro focus sessions, tasks, and daily scheduling.</p> <p>Check it out: <a href="https://timer.dabadoro.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://timer.dabadoro.com</a><br> Official Desktop App: <a href="https://dabadoro.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://dabadoro.com/</a><br> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/achortex/Dabadoro-Planner" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/achortex/Dabadoro-Planner</a></p> <p>Would love your feedback on the BYODB approach!</p> showdev productivity webdev javascript
