Pawodoro is a native macOS Pomodoro timer that lives in the menu bar and plays a full-screen cat video during every break, so the rest actually gets taken.
A pomodoro timer that pays you in cats
Most pomodoro apps end your focus block with an empty screen. Pawodoro ends it with a cat - a handpicked cat video from its bundled library plays full-screen during every break. No account, fully offline.
Features
- Full-screen cat video on every break, from a curated library
- Presets - Classic 25/5, Flow 45/15, Deep 50/10
- Fully custom work, break and long-break lengths
- Configurable cycles and optional auto-start
- Menu-bar controls: pause, skip, reset, live counter
- Break videos play on every connected display - skip with ESC
- Daily and weekly stats with a bar chart and CSV export
- Native notifications at every phase change
How it works
- Pick a preset (Classic 25/5, Flow 45/15, Deep 50/10) or set your own work, break and long-break durations, then start from the menu bar.
- The timer counts down quietly; pause, resume, skip or reset any time, with a live cycle counter toward the next long break.
- When a break begins, a full-screen cat video takes over every connected display. Hit ESC to skip, and the next cycle starts on its own.
