A Pomodoro timer that keeps counting when the screen goes off.
Built against: Timers that stop counting when Android reclaims the process, losing the session.
We find Android apps people rely on and are quietly frustrated by, read every complaint we can find, then build the version that answers them. Every app is free.
The naming work was careful in one direction and blank in another, and the blank one was a tick box sitting unticked in our own document while the whole site was built on top of it.

AdMob inside the apps. This site carries no advertising yet, and when it does it will be AdSense. That is all of it. You never pay us, we never sell your data, and there is no paid tier waiting behind the free one.

We read everything. We answer when we can, and we will not add you to a mailing list. If your report becomes an app, you will see it quoted in the teardown.
