    I understand that this has very little relevance for a pomodoro app where the intent is to create a fictional atmosphere to help you focus, but with the mention of Middle Eastern music I was reminded of this (admittedly long) video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=LR511iAedYU

      Either your suggestion or OPs caused my phone to begin to heat significantly within seconds.

      For shame, these are great tools...

      TIL, thank you lovegrenoble for bringing this adjective into my life. I always just said "Oh I don't mind the rain"...for years..

    Friendly reminder that you might want to drop “pomodoro” from your app.

    To officially use the Pomodoro® name and logo in your application or platform, you must acquire a license.

      Can we collectively retcon an unencumbered replacement name for such things? Odoromop?

        Sounds like a naming idea for a cleaning implement that came up in Mr Clean marketing meeting and was immediately dismissed.

    Can we bring our own playlist? This would be right up my alley with synthwave.

    I couldn't find any way to switch from rain to one of the other soundscapes - is the idea that the tool itself just varies them randomly?

      Gear icon on the top right, in the desktop version.

        ah, thanks, managed to miss that altogether!

        • ShadowUnknown 5 hours ago

          Glad you found it lol. It’s on the mobile version too if you ever try it there.

    Is it not 25 min too short for a focus period? I listen to Andrew Haberman that 90 min is the time you maintain focus.

    > The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used while a university student.
