Today I tested the first working prototype of Pomobee — flip to start a focus session, flip again to break. What you’re seeing (in the video): - Flip → WORK session starts - End-of-session chime - Flip → BREAK session starts What already works: - Flip detection + session timer - Basic UI on the display - Simple audio cues What I’m testing next: - Session lengths (25/30/45 + custom) - Brightness & viewing angle - Feet/magnet stability on the desk - App sync (BLE) for stats & streaks Your turn (feedback welcome any time): 1. Would you use a flip-to-start timer on your desk? 2. What session length do you prefer? 3. One feature you’d want in the app? (If you’re reading this later: leave your thoughts — I’ll circle back.)

Ever wondered why 25 minutes became the default focus session length? It’s not random — it’s rooted in the Pomodoro Technique, which breaks your day into short bursts of focused work, followed by short breaks. 25 minutes is just long enough to build momentum, but short enough to not feel overwhelming. For Pomobee, we’re starting with this rhythm by default — but we’re also thinking about custom lengths, break timers, and more. 🤔 What about you? - Do you like short or long focus sessions? - What’s your ideal working rhythm? - Have you tried Pomodoro before? 💬 Drop your thoughts below — even if you’re reading this weeks later. This post is here for whenever you’re ready.

We’re experimenting with the earliest form factors of the Pomobee timer – the shape, display, and physical feel. This is still a rough sketch — nothing final. But it’s the first time we’re sharing it publicly. 👀 We’re looking for your feedback on: - First impression? - Anything confusing or off? - What do you like / dislike? ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 🎁 Bonus for early contributors: The first 25 members who give feedback on early posts will get: - Early beta tester access - A “Founding Member” badge in the community - Your name in the credits on the first Pomobee packaging run 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments and help shape Pomobee from day one!
