What is a Pomodoro Timer?

Developed by Frances Cocirillo in the late 1980s, this technique helps you learn to love a countdown, rather than fear a deadline. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

What we did?

We thought we could mix our love for music with the Pomodoro Technique so we created our own (follow the link)…

Playlist Aggregator

We have always found it easier to knuckle down and focus on a particular task with some music to inspire us and keep our attention.

We also had noticed that there seems to be many subscribers to the reddit productivity channel that share this trait; so we decided to incorporate a playlists feature into our pomodoro timer.

Though, if you do happen to need a little bit of peace and quiet you can hover over the playlist and press pause.

And of course, if you don’t like music messing with your Pomodoros you can go to the timer settings and switch the playlist feature off.

While we were adding the playlist feature into our Pomodoro timer we decided to add a playlist aggregator page so that you can share (or just mooch) your favourite playlists from Spotify, Vimeo and YouTube with other Pomodoro fans.

Hopefully you will enjoy using Vivport… we’re only just getting started so stick around and follow our journey.

If you have any ideas on how to improve our Pomodoro Timer to better suit your needs please contact us at info@vivport.com.
