Pomo is an adorably lightweight productivity timer that blocks distracting websites while you work.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management technique developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Once pomo cycle is traditionally 25 minutes of work followed by 5 - 10 minutes of break. Breaking productive time up into smaller modules encourages greater focus, less fatigue, and less procrastination.
With Pomo, I wanted to create an extension that blocks distracting websites during the work period. Pomo keeps you accountable and helps you focus on the tasks that really matter!
