Initially, I've released this mix of todo list & pomodoro timer to learn Swift & SwiftUI as well as using the pomodoro technique more often. But due to the fact that some goals are very similar for more people, I came up with the idea to create several ready-made plans. To inspire users to achieve long-term or difficult goals, I have also added motivational quotes to this app. ----------------------------------------------------------- Briefly about the pomodoro technique: * the technique uses a timer to break the working time (pomodoro) into intervals (~25 minutes), * pomodoros are separated by short breaks (~5 minutes), * after a few pomodoros you need to take a long break (~15 minutes). During the pomodoro, you shouldn't be distracted or change the task. But the exact duration and number of pomodoros before a long break are configurable. The basic idea of this time management method is that people work more efficiently when they only do one task at a time and don't forget to rest, than when they try to solve all the problems at once, constantly interrupting to switch between processes. ----------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions, feedback, ideas or problems don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail at lil.lilyok@gmail.com (just please include "Pomodoro Planner" in the subject line)

I love productivity apps, especially those ones focused on achieving goals. I made one by myself back in the days. What is the Pomodoro technique about tho? Is is something that force you to take a break after 30min or so? I think it should be also explained in your description because not everyone is familiar with it ;) congrats on the launch!

@damsmaka Thank you for your feedback and advice! Yes, you're right. The pomodoro technique * uses a timer to break the working time (pomodoro) into intervals (~25 minutes), * separated by short breaks (~5 minutes), * and after a few pomodoro you need to take a long break (~15 minutes). During the pomodoro, you can't be distracted or change the task. But the exact duration and number of pomodoros before a long break are configurable.
