Flowmodoro
Niklas vM
Hi! Would it be possible to implement Flowmodoro as well? It is explained in this article: https://www.taskade.com/blog/flowtime-technique-guide/
Sometimes I am preferring flowmodoro depending on the type of task I am working on.

Count up timer

I get more motivated if I use a timer counting up rather than counting down. Can you please add it as a setting?

Count Up Timer
Andre
I hate how I feel like im forced to do a specific amount of time when I wanna complete a simple task but still wanna track my focus and this simple task could take some time but not alot so its hard to predict. Please have a count up timer i’ll still like to track my focus rather predict how much. It really deters me away from using session.

The purpose of Pomodoro is to have breaks at regular intervals, so a count up timer would contradict this - but you can just set your default session to the minimum interval (which is 5 min) and let it overrun until you are done and then take a break.

Focus is varied, so this could help improve workflows on days you don’t wanna dread seeing 40 minutes left rather days you need motivation like “oh i did 20 mins let’s keep going!”. So this caters to a lot more people than restricted pomodoro. I also understand you can set it to one minute, but i just feel like its not elegant and doesn’t feel right/meaningful.
Andre
Again a reminder / sound could be played x minutes or notification to remind you when it’s going to end in settings. There is already a sound anyways on normal pomodoro session and you can turn it on off, this same goes for count up timer!
Andre
to add on, my energy level varies for different task and like revising on hard things i.e math i don't know how long i can revise for. And without having to restrict myself to a specific time it makes work flow better and makes me wanna do work rather waste energy thinking how long its gonna take or dread how long it is gonna take. Reading how you wanted a simple focus tracker I don’t see how this isn’t a thing already.

Been using the app for 2 years and always wanted that feature. I'm a huge fan of tracking and logging my time.The app works wonders for the activities with a deadline. However, when I use it to track some free flow activities, like practicing the guitar, I wish I could see the time count forwards, not backwards. What I'm doing now to solve that is setting really long 8h sessions and hitting stop whenever I'm done. Still, a dedicated feature would be much nicer.
The request was filed in 2023. Now It's 2025. I hope the devs will find a spot for this request in their roadmap.

I come here with the same goal!
On low-energy days, it's torture for me to see "40 minutes left" (my sessions are 50 minutes). It would be much more motivating to think, "I've already worked for 10 minutes, nice!"

I would 💯 love to be able to select a count up or countdown timer. Sometimes I just want to do some deep work and see how long I was working instead of having to keep adding time or ignoring/turning-off countdown time expired reminders.
I don't need to be reminded about a session end when doing a count up timer. If I forget to stop the timer then I should be notified after x amount of time that a timer is running and whether I want to (1) keep it running, (2) stop it and record the current amount of time, or (3) stop it and subtract time from the timer. Getharvest.com does a good job of this.
