Getting Started

Installation

You can use forcePomo directly in your browser or as a Chrome extension for a more integrated experience.

Web Version

Visit forcePomo Web to start using it immediately. Note: If you wish to sync your focus sessions with Google Calendar, you will need to log in.

Chrome Extension

Install forcePomo from the Chrome Web Store. The extension lives in your side panel, providing a persistent focus companion that's always available.

Basic Usage

1. Automatic Start: Sessions start automatically every 30 minutes (e.g., 9:00, 9:30). No need to press start.
2. Check-in: Once a session starts, you have 15 minutes to check-in. This signals your commitment to the focus block.
3. Focus: Work with high intensity for the remainder of the 25-minute focus period.
4. Break & Commit: When the timer rings (after 25 minutes), take a 5-minute break. Use this time to "commit" your work—tag it with a project and optional notes—to sync it to Google Calendar.
5. Repeat: The next session will start automatically. Keep the flow going.
