The inverted Pomodoro

Stop babysitting your AI.

Start & leave

The AI gets the long block. You get the gap.

Capture & move on

Park ideas while you're away.

Three presets or custom

Pick a rhythm, or tune your own.

Private by design

No account. No cloud. No tracking.

Ropomo is the inverted Pomodoro for the AI era. Classic Pomodoro maximizes the time you stare at the screen. But when an AI agent is doing the work, staring is the problem — not the solution. Ropomo flips the timer: the machine gets the long work block, and you get a short, deliberate handoff window. THE LOOP • Give the AI a command, start a tomato, and swipe the app away. • When the block ends, an alarm-style notification pulls you back — the kind you actually dismiss. • While you're away, pop open the Inspiration tab to park a thought (type it; dictation works too). • Back at your desk, check off the ideas you acted on. Train the gap longer over time. TWO TABS, NOTHING MORE • Timer — one big ring, Start & leave, and your "overripe" overrun (time spent relapsing into babysitting). • Inspiration — a quick local list to park ideas while away, with tap-to-complete. WHY ROPOMO • Background-safe — the timer is timestamp-based, so it's correct even after your phone sleeps. • An alarm-grade local notification brings you back exactly on time. • Three presets (Rotten Pomodoro, Tiny Tomato, Overripe Long Run) or fully custom durations. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No tracking. Everything — settings and your inspirations — stays on your device in a local database. Ropomo collects nothing.

App Review notes

Ropomo is a fully local, single-user focus timer. There is no login, no account, no server, and no network calls — the reviewer can use every feature immediately on launch. The only permission requested is Notifications, used solely to schedule a local “come back” reminder when an AI work block ends.

Encryption

Exempt — uses only standard OS encryption (ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false).
