A Pomodoro App With Distraction Tracking, Not Just a Timer

For years I tried basically every task manager and pomodoro app out there. Todoist, Things, TickTick, a plain kitchen timer. They are all fine at counting minutes. None of them solved the actual problem: I would sit down to work, lose forty minutes to Slack and email, and have zero idea it even happened until the day was already gone.

A timer alone does not fix that. It just tells you a session ended. It does not tell you why the session fell apart, and without that, every day looks the same: you meant to focus, you did not, and you are left guessing.

What distraction tracking actually means

Pomiq is a pomodoro app with one difference: when you get distracted mid-session, you tap once and log what it was. Slack. Social media. Low energy. Whatever actually happened. The timer keeps running. Nothing shames you for it.

After a few sessions, a pattern shows up that a plain timer could never surface:

• Which hour of the day you actually hold focus, and which hour you do not
• What keeps breaking your sessions, ranked by how often it actually happens, not how it feels in the moment
• How many focus hours each project really got, separate from what you estimated

Why this beats a plain pomodoro timer

A timer measures output. It cannot tell you why output is low. Pomiq treats every broken session as a data point instead of a failure, and after a week of honest logging, the data usually points at one specific habit, not a vague sense that you “get distracted a lot.”

That specificity is the entire point. “I lose focus sometimes” is not actionable. “73% of my distractions happen between minute 20 and 25, and it is almost always Slack” is something you can actually fix.

Built for people whose focus breaks often, not rarely

Pomiq was built for freelancers who need to know where billable hours actually went, and for anyone whose brain runs a dozen tabs at once and has tried every productivity app without one that explained the why, not just the what.

It runs in the browser, no signup required to start, and your data stays on your device unless you turn on sync yourself.

Try Pomiq and see what your own focus pattern actually looks like.
