About Pomodoro Garden
Pomodoro Garden turns every focus session into something you grow.
Plant a seed, Start a session
Pick a seed and plant it. The seed sets the session: a radish is 15 minutes, a tomato 25, a sunflower 35 and a pumpkin 50. Watch it sprout, grow, bloom and ripen while you work. Finish and you harvest it for coins. Give up and it wilts, and stays in the bed until you plant again.
The crow
Tell the app which apps and websites distract you: YouTube, Reddit and TikTok are on the list to start with, and you can add your own. Open one during a session and a crow lands on your garden. Come back within 10 seconds and it flies off. Stay away and it pecks your crop, which loses a growth stage and some of its coins.
Levels, quests and combos
Every minute you focus earns experience. Sunflowers unlock at level 3 and pumpkins at level 6. Each day brings three quests, like harvesting six crops or keeping the crow away until noon, with coins for each one you finish. Plant again within 10 minutes of a break ending to build a combo for extra coins, and harvest every day to keep your streak.
Real breaks
After each session a break begins: 5 minutes, with a longer one after every fourth harvest. A full-screen rest card shows the time left and a quote, so you actually step away. Dismiss it whenever you are ready.
On your desktop
The widget sits on your desktop as a pot with a progress ring and the time left, or as a row of today's harvest. Click it to plant or pause. The timer keeps running from the notification area even with every window closed, and can start with Windows.
For elegant break reminder users
This is the new Elegant Break Reminder. Your focus and break lengths and your Start with Windows choice come with you, and the quotes on the rest screen are the same ones.
