About productivity
Small productivity apps that work the moment you open them: notes, to-do lists, a Pomodoro timer, a stopwatch, a countdown, habit tracking and flashcards.
All of them store data in your browser's local storage, and it is worth being precise about what that means, because it is both the main feature and the main limitation. Your notes and tasks never reach a server, so there is no account, no sync delay and no privacy policy to read. But the data is tied to one browser on one device. It will not appear on your phone, it does not survive clearing site data, and it is not there in a private window. For a scratchpad, a timer or a working task list, that is exactly the right trade. For anything you would be upset to lose, export it or use something with real backups.
The Pomodoro timer follows the standard technique: twenty-five minutes of focused work, a five-minute break, and a longer break after four cycles. The mechanism is less about the specific intervals than about making starting cheap. Twenty-five minutes is short enough to begin something you have been avoiding, and the timer converts an open-ended, unpleasant task into a bounded one. Adjust the intervals to whatever holds your attention โ the numbers are a convention, not a finding.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my notes and tasks stored?
In your browser's local storage on the device you are using. They never reach a server, which is why there is no account and no sync. It also means they exist only in that browser on that device.
Will I lose my data?
It persists across visits and restarts, but it is removed if you clear browsing data or site storage, and it does not exist in a private window after that window closes. Browsers may also evict local storage under severe disk pressure. Export anything you cannot afford to lose.
Can I sync between my phone and laptop?
No. Local storage is per-device and per-browser by design โ that is the same property that keeps the data private with no account. Cross-device sync would require a server holding your notes.
Why twenty-five minutes for a Pomodoro?
It is a convention from the original technique rather than a research finding. It works largely because it is short enough to make starting easy and bounded enough to make an unpleasant task feel finite. Many people do better at forty or fifty minutes once they are in the habit โ adjust it to your own attention span.
