Builder & creator of Pomodorian
Why I built Pomodorian
I'm a French builder who spends most of his day shipping products. Like many makers, I struggled with context switching, endless distractions, and that feeling of being busy all day without actually shipping anything meaningful.
I tried every Pomodoro app out there. They all did the basics fine, but none of them solved the problem I actually had: figuring out what to work on and for how long. So I built Pomodorian — a timer that doesn't just count down, but helps you plan your focus sessions with AI.
Describe your goal, and the AI breaks it into concrete tasks with time estimates. No more staring at a blank task list wondering where to start.
