Pomodoro Timer

Feature Description: Omi will support the Pomodoro technique by introducing a timer feature. Users can work in 25-minute focus intervals followed by 5-minute breaks. Omi will provide notifications to maintain focus and remind users when to take a break automatically.

Use Cases:

• The user says, "Omi, start Pomodoro," and Omi initiates a 25-minute focus session followed by a 5-minute break.

• "Remind me to take a break every 25 minutes," and Omi will manage the focus and break cycles automatically.

• "Customize my Pomodoro time," allowing the user to set personalized focus and break durations (e.g., 50 minutes of focus + 10 minutes break).

• "Show my Pomodoro progress," so Omi can provide statistics on past focus sessions.

• The user can set up alerts like "Notify me when my break is over" to avoid missing the next session.

Benefits:

• Increases focus and productivity.

• Reduces mental fatigue by ensuring regular breaks.

• Optimizes work sessions for better efficiency.

• Provides insights on work patterns through productivity tracking.

• Helps users maintain a structured and efficient workflow.

Potential Challenges and Risks:

• Users may need flexibility in adjusting focus and break durations.

• Smart notification management is needed to avoid distractions.

• Users might extend breaks excessively, reducing productivity, so Omi should provide gentle guidance on recommended durations.

Implementation on Android and iOS:

• Android can use "Foreground Service" to manage continuous Pomodoro cycles.

• iOS can utilize "Local Notifications" to send reminders at specific time intervals.

• Cloud synchronization can ensure users track their Pomodoro progress across devices.

Proposed Working Mechanism:

1. The user says, "Omi, start Pomodoro."

2. Omi starts a 25-minute focus session and notifies the user when it's time for a break.

3. The user takes a 5-minute break, with a reminder when it's over.

4. Omi notifies the user when the next focus session begins.

5. The user can check progress with "Show my Pomodoro progress."

6. The user can stop the process at any time by saying, "Stop Pomodoro."
