About
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. Ropomo flips it: the machine gets the long work block, you get a short handoff window. Give the AI a command, start a tomato, swipe the app away — and an alarm-style notification pulls you back exactly when a human is needed. While you're away, park ideas in the Inspiration tab and check them off later. Private by design: no account, no cloud, no tracking — everything lives in a local database on your device. iPhone + desktop tray app.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I kept catching myself babysitting AI agents — staring at a progress bar I couldn't speed up. So I built Ropomo: the Pomodoro, inverted. The AI gets the long block. You get a short, deliberate handoff window. Start the tomato, swipe the app away, and an alarm-style notification (the kind you have to dismiss) pulls you back when a human is actually needed. While you're away, the Inspiration tab lets you park a quick thought — type or dictate — and check it off once you've acted on it back at your desk. It even tracks "overripe" time: every minute you relapse into hovering, so you can train the gap longer. Two tabs, nothing more. Fully on-device — no account, no cloud, no tracking. iPhone, plus a desktop tray app. Would love your feedback on the AI/human ratios that work for your workflow!
