Promodify vs Marinara Timer — the modern take on a web classic
Marinara is the original sharable web Pomodoro. Promodify carries the spirit forward with ambient audio, video themes, and a calmer UI.
Marinara Timer (marinaratimer.com) is a beloved early-web Pomodoro — a single URL, a shared timer everyone in a room can watch. Bare bones, still useful.
Promodify is what a Marinara built today looks like: same zero-signup, same tab countdown, but with ambient sound, dark themes, presets up to 180 minutes, and an optional Pro layer for video focus worlds.
