What It Does

OneBuddy's Pomodoro Timer brings the proven Pomodoro Technique directly into your browser's side panel. Set custom focus and break durations, track completed sessions, and use the unique screen-dim feature that physically darkens your tab during focus periods to reinforce deep work. Sessions auto-cycle between work and break intervals, and you can view your daily session history at a glance.

Why It's Better Than Standalone Extensions

Unlike standalone Pomodoro extensions like Forest or Marinara, OneBuddy's timer lives alongside your clipboard manager, notes, health reminders, and privacy tools. You get one extension instead of five. The screen-dim feature is unique — no other Pomodoro extension physically darkens your browser to reduce distractions.
