Pomello
What it is
Pomello turns Trello cards into tasks managed with the Pomodoro Technique, which divides work into timed intervals. After installation, you connect Trello so Pomello can read and modify cards. By default, it adds a pomodoro count to card titles, records events in comments, and tracks productivity statistics; these behaviors can be customized by board or list. Users can create Trello tasks in Pomello with a board, list, title, description, and labels. Short breaks follow pomodoros, and a long break replaces the short break after four valid pomodoros. The Productivity panel shows pomodoros, distractions, and related activity, and requires a Pomello account login. Basic is free; Premium is $20 a year. Both include unlimited boards and lists, productivity and time tracking, checklist tasks, custom timer sounds, and data export. Pomello runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
