The problem it solves

You want to stay focused using short work sprints, but juggling a timer app and a separate log to track your sessions is a hassle. Without tracking, it is hard to see your actual focus patterns over time.

Who it fits

Anyone using the Pomodoro technique who wants their focus sessions tracked automatically.

How it works

  1. You send a start command in Telegram
  2. A 25-minute focus timer begins
  3. You get a break reminder when the timer ends
  4. After four cycles, a longer break is triggered
  5. The completed session is logged to Google Sheets
What you get

Focus sessions logged without touching a spreadsheet

You get every completed focus session timed and logged automatically so your personal productivity record stays current.

What you get

A Google Sheets log of your focus and break sessions with timestamps.

What you need

A Telegram account and a Google account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
