Ramblings of Daniel GraziotinTime to admit it. I do not have the time to continue the development of OpenPomo.

From the ashes of Pomodroid, the OpenPomo project is born. OpenPomo is a family of Android applications, all of them opensource, implementing the Pomodoro Technique. Right now...
Pomodroid Project is not dead! I am just busy with my Master of Science course. I am (very slowly) developing v0.9.0 release with A new, standardized, easier user interface, and new icons! A Pomodoro Timer implemented as Android Service, that will be able to run in background Better Performance Support for more remote services A free/opensource vs a paid version!
