Time to admit it. I do not have the time to continue the development of OpenPomo. It has been funny to start the (probably) first non-trivial Pomodoro Android project ever. OpenPomo development started on October 2009 as a University project, under the name Pomodroid. I don’t even remember when it was first released to the public, as opensource software. My commitment to the project has...

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!
