Hi Amruta, Arijit and I worked together on this app. Sorry that you are facing trouble with syncing. Usually it syncs within few seconds unless there is some permission issue or we encountered an edge case. Try in another browser just in case. We will check it and send you a notification.
We have contemplated to add Pomodoro tracking within the app, and a breakup of deepwork distribution across #project categories. Or perhaps an integration with one of the common pomodoro apps. Which pomodoro timer app do you use?
If you are logging a calendar event for deep work where there is no other recipient, we do not consider that as a meeting and do not track that in your meeting analytics. But this could be an interesting stat we can show you in a new analytics card telling you how much time you have spent in deep work. We will see if many people use their calendars to log their individual deep work like yours.
I use the Forest app as my Pomodoro timer. As for the calendar event for deep work, I do that right now because I don't have another way to track it. I don't think you need to sync my deep work events from my gcal to your app -- I think if I have the Pomodoro timer in your app, then the number of sessions per day would serve as my deep work log and that's good enough!
About the sync issues: Will try it on another browser and report back.
Right now deepwork.today centres around meetings. We show you potential time left for work today because we know how much time you will be spending in meetings.
We also allow you to decide whether a meeting is relevant and show you meeting tips and analytics.
I understand you are expecting deepwork in terms of focus times but we define it as non-meeting times in your work day.
So, the app functions only if you provide permission to access your calendar events. We will soon release a fix where we set this expectations upfront instead of showing you a loader.
For pomodoro, I have been using Pomotodo for some years now. You can associate a task with the spent Pomo. So, when you complete a task you know how much pomos were spent on it. This helps me in time estimation. Maybe you will like it. It has some analytics too as well.
Thats awesome Amruta
Yeah, let us know if there are already things you do to prioritise deep work. Any practice that can be part of the app and shared with others.
I would love to see a pomodoro timer within the app. And also a log of Deep Work hours per day (as of now, I maintain it on my GCal).
The app's been syncing my gcal to my account for over an hour now -- any idea how long it's expected to take?

Oh, the app looks incredible! Thanks for sharing :)
