A Pomodoro timer for developers.

25 minutes is too short to load a codebase into your head. Promodify ships with 50/10 and 90/15 presets, dark themes that don't burn your eyes, and a tab-title countdown you can see from your terminal.

Why classic 25/5 breaks for coding

Switching context kills programmer flow — research from Microsoft and GitHub puts the cost of an interruption at 10–25 minutes of recovery. A 25/5 Pomodoro spends most of its budget on recovery. For code, longer focus blocks win.

Presets that match coding tasks

• 50 / 10 (default for code) — implement a feature, debug a tricky issue.
• 90 / 15 (deep work block) — design work, architecture, refactors. Two per day is plenty.
• 25 / 5 — code review, PR triage, doc cleanup. Lots of small switching.

Soundscape suggestions

Brown noise is the developer default — masks open-office chatter and mechanical keyboards. Rain is gentler if brown noise feels too dense. Pro unlocks all four soundscapes plus Spotify focus playlists.

Pair it with your terminal

Pin the Promodify tab in the first slot. The countdown shows in your tab bar even when your editor is fullscreen — peek with Cmd+Tab or a tile manager.
