Overview

Pomodoro Diary is our habit and focus app for people who want to see where their time actually goes. Most habit trackers only record a check mark, and most Pomodoro timers forget a session the moment it ends. We wanted one place that does both: you time the work, mark it done, and keep a short note about how it went, so a day becomes a record you can read back later.

Every goal in the app can use the timing mode that fits it. Deep work and studying suit a Pomodoro focus session. Small habits such as drinking water or going to bed on time only need a quick check-in. Activities with no fixed length, like reading, workouts or a long writing session, can run on an open-ended timer. All three feed the same calendar, timeline and statistics.

Goals can repeat daily, weekly or monthly, and you can measure them either by how many times you complete them or by how much time you invest. One-time tasks sit next to long-term habits, and old tasks can be archived without losing their history.

If you sign in, the same account works on Android and in the web workspace, and data syncs automatically without manual backups or imports. Local data stays on the device, so you can keep tracking while offline.

Key features

  • Three ways to track a task

    Choose a Pomodoro focus session with a set duration, a one-tap quick check-in for simple habits, or an open-ended timer for activities whose length varies. Each goal keeps its own mode, so you are not forced to time things that do not need timing.

  • Flexible habits and goals

    Create habits that repeat daily, weekly or monthly, and set targets by completion count or by time invested, for example "read 30 minutes a day" or "exercise three times a week". Archive goals you no longer pursue while keeping their past records.

  • Notes and reflections on every record

    After a check-in or focus session you can add a note. The note is saved beside the completion time in your personal timeline, which makes it much easier to remember what you worked on and why a week went well or badly.

  • Calendar, timeline and progress insights

    See each day on a calendar, scroll back through a chronological timeline, and review daily, weekly, monthly and yearly completions, total focus time and streaks.

  • Sync between Android and the web

    Sign in once and your goals and records sync automatically between the Android app and the web workspace. There is no separate export or pull step, and local data remains available offline.

How to use Pomodoro Diary

  1. Install Pomodoro Diary from Google Play and open it. Sign in if you want your records to sync with the web workspace; otherwise you can start tracking locally.
  2. Create your first goal. Give it a clear name ("Spanish vocabulary", "Morning run"), pick a repeat rule (daily, weekly or monthly) and decide whether success means a number of completions or an amount of time.
  3. Choose the timing mode: Pomodoro focus for concentrated work, quick check-in for simple yes-or-no habits, or the open-ended timer for activities without a fixed length.
  4. When it is time to work, start the session or tap check-in. For a Pomodoro session, keep to one task until the timer ends, then take a short break before the next round.
  5. When you finish, write a sentence or two about how it went: what you completed, what distracted you, or what to try next time.
  6. At the end of each week, open the calendar and statistics views. Look at streaks and time invested per goal, and adjust targets that turned out to be too ambitious or too easy.

Who it’s for

  • Students who want to count real study time instead of hours spent near a textbook.
  • Remote workers and freelancers who use the Pomodoro Technique for deep work and want a record of it.
  • Anyone building small daily habits, such as hydration, sleep routines or meditation, who prefers a quick check-in to a timer.
  • People who like journaling but find a blank page intimidating; a short note per session is an easy entry point.
  • Users who switch between a phone and a computer and want the same data on both.

FAQ

Is Pomodoro Diary free?
The app is free to download from Google Play. The store listing shows in-app purchases, so some options may be paid. Check the listing for current details.
Do I have to use the Pomodoro timer for every habit?
No. Each goal can use a Pomodoro focus session, a quick check-in or an open-ended timer. Use whichever matches the activity; a "drink water" habit rarely needs a 25-minute timer.
Can I use it on a computer?
Yes. Signing in with the same account lets you use the web workspace, and your data syncs automatically with the Android app.
Does it work offline?
Your local data remains available on the device, so you can keep checking in and timing sessions without a connection. Sync happens when you are signed in and online.
What happens to a habit I stop doing?
You can archive it. Archived goals disappear from your active list, but their history stays in your records and statistics.
Is there an iPhone version?
The store listing we link to is for Android. On other devices you can use the web workspace after signing in.
