Add Pomodoro Timer Integration Tied to (Sub-)Tasks

[nselvara]

Here’s another feature suggestion that complements my earlier ones - a built-in Pomodoro timer with tracking and feedback.

Feature Proposal: Pomodoro Timer + Feedback & Tracking

Problem
I use the Pomodoro technique (25 min focus / 5 min break) to maintain deep focus during engineering work. Currently, I need to use external apps, which breaks my flow and disconnects time tracking from the actual tasks.

---

Proposed Feature Bundle

1. Pomodoro Timer per Task/Subtask

• Add a start/stop/reset Pomodoro control to each task card
• Show visual indicator (e.g., progress circle, countdown timer)
• Optional: Auto-start next Pomodoro/break

2. Pomodoro Tracking Sheet / History View

• Log all completed Pomodoro sessions
• Display date, time, and which task was linked
• Support daily/weekly summaries
• Optional: Export as CSV/Markdown

3. Optional Feedback Per Session

• When a session ends, prompt for short reflection:
  • “Was this session productive?”
  • “Any blockers or distractions?”
• Store these notes in the log

4. Pomodoro Count Badge on Tasks

• Show how many Pomodoros have been spent on each task
• Possibly use this for sorting or filtering tasks by effort

---

Alternatives Considered

• External apps (e.g., Pomofocus, Forest, Toggl)
• Manual timers with pen-and-paper logs
• Markdown tracking in descriptions

These are fragmented and not integrated into the Kanban workflow - which Kanri could elegantly solve.

🧩 Additional Context

A built-in Pomodoro + tracking system would turn Kanri into a focused productivity powerhouse - great for engineers, makers, and students alike. Even a basic MVP would already provide huge value.

Thanks for your suggestion!
This is something I've been considering, but it's still in an evaluation phase. The biggest challenge at the moment is balancing the amount of extra features to add to progressively improve Kanri while not bloating the app unnecessarily.
Maybe this could be integrated into a little widgets panel, but it's certainly not a priority at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful response!
Totally understand that it's still in the evaluation phase - I can imagine it's tricky to balance feature growth with keeping the app lean and fast.
If this eventually makes it into a widget-style panel, that would already be awesome. Even a minimal MVP (just the timer with logging) would provide great value for focused workflows.
Happy to test or give feedback if you decide to explore it further down the line.

Thanks again for considering it!
