Question 1

What problem does Pomotiki solve?

Accepted Answer

Your Jira board tracks tasks, but not focus. Checking tickets in Jira, setting a timer in one app, jotting notes in another - every switch breaks concentration. Pomotiki gives you a single flow: pick one task, lock in for 25 minutes, and mark it done. Two clicks, not five apps.

Question 2

Is Pomotiki free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pomotiki is completely free with no subscriptions and no account required. Just download, connect your Jira board, and start focusing.

Question 3

Why a floating icon instead of a menu bar app?

Accepted Answer

If it is out of sight, it is out of mind. The floating tomato uses what we call moderate presence - barely noticeable but always there. It stays on top across all macOS Spaces, draggable anywhere. You barely notice it, but it keeps reminding you that you were focusing on something. Expand when needed, minimize usually.

Question 4

Does the Mini Focus View distract me while I work?

Accepted Answer

We ran into this exact problem during development - the timer overlay was covering the work area and breaking focus instead of helping it. The fix: a transparency slider so you can dial in exactly how visible the timer should be. It stays semi-transparent by default and becomes fully opaque only when you hover over it. Background noise most of the time, crystal clear when you check.

Question 5

Does Pomotiki work with all Jira setups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jira returns responses in a mix of old offset-based and new token-based pagination formats. Pomotiki has a built-in adapter that accepts whatever format comes in and normalizes it, so it works reliably regardless of your Jira configuration.

Question 6

What about old Jira tickets cluttering my list?

Accepted Answer

Jira backlogs accumulate zombie issues - tickets technically open but untouched for months, tasks superseded by other work, bugs that no longer reproduce. The Hide Issue feature filters them out so what is left on your screen is what actually matters right now.

Question 7

How big is the app? Does it use Electron?

Accepted Answer

Under 30MB. Pomotiki is built as a native macOS app, not Electron. That means always-on-top across all Spaces with one line of native code, system-level notifications, and no hundreds-of-megabytes overhead. It feels like it belongs on your Mac, not something that tolerates it.

Question 8

Will Pomotiki support tools beyond Jira?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The "tiki" in Pomotiki hints at a bigger vision: a focus hub that works with GitHub Issues, Linear, and whatever tools your team already uses. The roadmap also includes focus statistics to visualize your work patterns and auto-complete to move Jira issues to Done when the timer ends.
