Pomodoro

A pomodoro timer, after wasp-os's pomodoro app. Work and short breaks take turns, with a long break in place of every few short ones, until you stop it.

Using it

  • The app always opens on the countdown, the last of four pages, with a page bar along the bottom. Swipe right to reach the pages that set the lengths, and left to come back.
  • Work, Short break and Long break each have a page with - and + buttons that set the length in minutes, from 1 to 99. The long break page also sets how many work sessions come before each long break, from 2 to 8.
  • Tap Start on the countdown. It runs a work session, then a short break, and so on; after the set number of work sessions the break is a long one, and the round starts again.
  • The top of the countdown names the interval running and which work session of the round it is, or follows, such as 1 of 4.
  • When an interval ends the watch wakes and buzzes for ten seconds, names the interval that comes next, and then starts it.
  • Tap +1 to add a minute to the running interval; the watch gives a short buzz to confirm. Tap Stop, while an interval runs or while the watch buzzes, to end the round.
  • A new length takes effect from the next interval that uses it.
