Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Timer is a built-in focus timing tool in LifeOS Pro, helping you better manage your time and improve work efficiency.

Features

Dual Timing Modes

  • Pomodoro Mode: Traditional Pomodoro Technique, default 25 minutes focus + 5 minutes break
  • Stopwatch Mode: Free timing, manually stop to record duration

Project Association

You can associate timing with a project or theme. After completion, the time spent is automatically recorded to your daily note's project list, making your time statistics more accurate.

Automation Options

  • Auto Start Break: Automatically enter break time after completing a pomodoro
  • Auto Start Next Pomodoro: Automatically start the next pomodoro after break ends
  • Auto Focus Count: Set the number of consecutive pomodoros to complete before stopping the auto flow

Mini Timer

During timing, you can minimize to a floating mini timer, allowing you to view progress while working on other pages. The mini timer supports drag-and-drop positioning.

Below, a focus record list is displayed, grouped by date showing the time period and duration of each focus session.

Integration with Time Management

The Pomodoro Timer integrates perfectly with LifeOS's Time Management feature:

  1. Use the Pomodoro Timer to record time spent on each project
  2. Time is automatically aggregated to the project list in your daily notes
  3. Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes automatically calculate the time proportion for each project

This way, you can clearly understand "where your time went" and more efficiently adjust and plan your time!
