Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A focus timer at its plainest counts down 25 minutes and keeps a log.
You could make the core of Pomodoro 365 for yourself: Pomodoro timer, tasks and time tracking. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $28.80 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Pomodoro timer, tasks and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- A library of sound you would have to license.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Pomodoro 365’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
