# Pomello

> Desktop Pomodoro timer that runs on your Trello cards

Pomello is a desktop Pomodoro timer for Mac, Windows and Linux that takes its tasks from Trello: you pick a card and the timer runs timed work intervals and breaks against it. The window is kept small, and productivity tracking and time tracking are part of the free Basic plan. Premium adds checklist items as tasks, custom timer sounds and data export.

## Key features

- **Trello cards as tasks:** Tasks come from Trello: the cards on your boards and lists become the tasks a Pomodoro session runs against, with no limit on boards or lists on either plan.
- **Pomodoro timer:** Work is split into timed intervals called pomodoros, traditionally 25 minutes long and separated by 5-minute breaks.
- **Productivity and time tracking:** Productivity tracking and time tracking are included on both the Basic and the Premium plan.
- **Compact timer window:** The interface is built to take up minimal screen space, which the vendor describes as a distraction-free design.
- **Checklist items as tasks:** With Premium, the items on a checklist can be worked through as tasks of their own, not only whole cards.
- **Custom sounds and data export:** Premium also adds custom timer sounds and the option to export your productivity data.

## Good for

- Trello users who want to run Pomodoro sessions against their cards
- Desktop work on Mac, Windows or Linux
- People who want a small timer window that stays out of the way

## Worth knowing

- Tasks are organized in Trello; the vendor's site describes no task list of Pomello's own.
- Desktop only: the download page offers Mac, Windows and Linux apps and tells other devices they are not supported.
- Checklist items as tasks, custom timer sounds and productivity data export need Premium.
- The current download is version 0.10.17, and release notes are kept on a public Trello board, not on the site.
