FAQ
Have questions? Find answers below.
Basic Usage
What is Pomodoro?
It's a time management method where you focus for 25 minutes and take a 5-minute break. The name comes from a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. After 4 cycles, you take a longer 15-minute break.
Can I change the timer duration?
Yes. Use a preset profile like Deep Work, Study, or Quick Task as is, or set your own focus, short break, and long break durations to build a custom profile. Auto-start and skip-break can be toggled too.
What is stopwatch mode?
A mode where you just start without setting a duration. It's handy for tasks when you don't know how long they'll take — the time you spend focusing is recorded as is.
How do tags work?
When the timer ends, pick a tag for what you were working on. Create your own tags like 'Study', 'Work', or 'Exercise'. If you started the session with a task selected, it's saved automatically — no need to pick a tag.
How do I manage tasks?
Add tags and subtasks to a task, and set it to repeat daily, on weekdays, or weekly. Focus time accumulates per task, and you can attach a D-Day countdown to the important ones.
Can I change the ambient sound or alarm?
Yes. Choose from 26 ambient sounds — rain, ocean, café, fireplace, forest, and more — and 12 alarm tones, including cute animal sounds.
What does the character do?
The rabbit focuses alongside you during a session and rests with you (it even naps) on breaks. Every Pomodoro you complete stacks another book next to it.
Where can I see my statistics?
In the statistics screen you'll find a GitHub-style activity graph, focus streaks, weekly and monthly reports, and hourly breakdowns. You can also see how much you focused by tag and by task.
Account & Sync
Do I need to sign in?
No, you can use guest mode without an account. Sign in only if you want to keep using your data across multiple devices.
Which accounts can I sign in with?
Google or Apple. In Korea, Kakao sign-in is also available.
What's different when I sign in?
Your data is backed up to the cloud and synced across devices, so your records survive changing phones or reinstalling the app, and you can pick up where you left off on iOS and Android. Cloud sync is part of Premium.
Can I sign in later after using guest mode?
Yes, you can sign in anytime. Your existing data will be linked to your account.
Premium Subscription
Is the app free?
Yes, the core features are free. Pomolings Premium (monthly or yearly) unlocks unlimited tags, all ambient sounds, and cloud sync.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Cancel anytime in the account settings of the store you paid through (App Store or Google Play). Cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends to avoid the next charge. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Can I get a refund?
Subscription payments are handled by Apple and Google, so refunds follow each store's refund policy. Request one from your purchase history in the App Store or Google Play.
Data & Backup
Where is my data stored?
By default, data is stored only on your device. With cloud sync turned on (sign in + Premium), it's also backed up to the cloud (Supabase server).
Will my data be deleted if I uninstall the app?
In guest mode, yes. If your data was synced to the cloud, you can restore it by reinstalling and signing in again.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account in the app. Once deleted, all server data is permanently removed and cannot be recovered. If you have an active subscription, cancel it in the store first. If you can't access the app, email [email protected].
Troubleshooting
I'm not receiving notifications
Check that notifications are enabled for Pomolings in your device settings. Focus Mode on iOS, or Do Not Disturb and battery optimization on Android, can also block them.
How do I add the home screen widget?
On both iOS and Android, long-press your home screen, open the widget picker, and choose Pomolings. Your activity graph will be right there on the home screen.
Can I switch to dark mode or change the theme?
Yes. Turn on dark mode or pick from several color themes to match your mood.
Does it work offline?
Yes, it works great offline. Timer, records, and statistics are all available. Only syncing requires internet.
