Pomodoro Cassette

A skeuomorphic Pomodoro timer with 4 device skins, ambient soundscapes, and background themes.

Pomodoro Cassette A retro-vintage Pomodoro timer with four cassette/CRT/typewriter skins, ambient soundscapes, todos, and a markdown scratchpad. **Pomodoro Cassette** turns your new tab into a beautiful skeuomorphic focus tool inspired by the cassette decks, typewriters, and CRT TVs of decades past. Built for people who want their productivity tools to feel like physical objects, not flat dashboards. What's inside v3.0.1 — Hover-to-reveal edit and delete buttons on todo items, restore button for dismissed keyboard shortcuts strip, footer credit with developer attribution, minor polish. ⏱ Pomodoro timer with four collectible skins** Switch between Classic Cassette, Modern (Teenage Engineering inspired), Typewriter, and CRT TV — each one a complete reskin with its own typography, materials, and details. Pick the one that matches your mood or your desk. 🎵 Five ambient soundscapes** Built-in synthesized ambient, lo-fi, white noise, and rain — generated live in the browser, no streaming. Music auto-pauses when you pause the timer and resumes when you start again, so the audio always matches what you're doing. 🔔 A bell you won't miss** A double-ring ascending chime plays at full volume when a session completes, paired with a persistent system notification that stays on screen until you dismiss it. No more sessions ending while you're heads-down in another tab. ✅ One-task-at-a-time todos** A four-bucket task system (Now, Not Now, On Hold, Done) built around the philosophy of single-focus work. Drag tasks between buckets, promote them with a click, and watch your current focus auto-sync to the cassette display. 📝 Markdown scratchpad on a sticky note** Jot quick notes on a yellow legal pad with handwritten font, ruled lines, and a strip of tape across the top. Write in markdown, hit Preview to see it rendered.
