The inverted Pomodoro

Stop treating AI work like something to stare at.

Classic Pomodoro maximizes your focus time. Ropomo flips it: the AI gets the long work block, you get a short handoff window. Start the tomato, leave the screen, and come back only when it’s your turn.

The loop

One short human window. One long machine block.

1 · Hand off

Drop one precise prompt or review target. Then stop hovering.

2 · Let it run

Start the AI block. The app gets out of your way so you can leave the screen.

3 · Walk away

A local notification pings you the moment the machine needs a human again.

4 · Train the gap

“Overripe” time tracks every minute you relapse into babysitting. Shrink it.

Presets

Pick a rhythm, or tune your own.

Reverse Pomodoro

Classic Pomodoro flipped: AI gets 25, you get 5.

Overripe Long Run

Deep agent run when the tomato needs to rot in peace.
