Does anyone here use the Pomodoro technique for coding? I've used it to excellent effect before and would like to get back to it.
That's why I'm asking for recommendations for a Pomodoro planning/tracking app. There are so many, and trying out individual ones is quite a hassle. What do you use/recommend?

Never heard of it before but did a quick scan...
It looks a bit... suspicious 
Wouldn't it only work in you can split your tasks into equal segments of work? Let's say you have a 25 minute tomato... what happen when a piece of work takes 30 minutes, or 2 hours, etc?

If a Pomodoro takes more work than your timer, e.g. 25 minutes, either:
a) You haven't divided your main tasks into separate little tasks. This skill grows very quickly as you begin to practice this technique.
b) You stop working after 25 minutes, note that Pomodoro as unfinished, and after 5 minutes, you start a new Pomodoro and resume work on your ill-planned task.

Thanks. that looks like a very helpful list, but before I go through each app on it, do you know of any Android apps that integrate with a desktop component. I can't imagine doing Pomodoro planning, with lots and lots of typing, only on my phone. It's a great phone but not so great.

Thanks, this looks like a great app, but I have one issue, and that's its "flat" todo list. I've just found an app that integrates with nearly all task management services/apps. E.g. I have just integrated it with Trello, which is a dedicated list manager. The app I've found has a desktop app, a Chrome extension, and a mobile app, and it's called [^]Pomodone.

Writing a Pomodoro tracker is very, very high on my todo list. I've been mentally planning one for years, but I stopped using the technique and forgot about it.

Should not an egg timer do the job?
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

An egg timer will work fine, but tracking your "sprints" (Pomodoros) helps you improve your time planning and use of the Pomodoro technique. Just like some agile shops have metrics on their sprints and others just follow very basic SCRUM techniques.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

If I were regularly interrupted like that I am fairly certain that would be the result.

Fu Manchu - Il Mostro Atomico[^]
Fu Manchu is a legend in the stoner rock scene.
Brant Bjork of Kyuss fame was in the band from 1997 to 2001, so that may have cemented their early success.
I used to listen to Fu Manchu, I think when I still delivered newspapers, so that must've been at least ten years ago.
Now last week, a friend mentioned them, so I went to Spotify to check them out again.
Their last album, Clone of the Universe, is from 2018 and has some pretty cool artwork, so I listened to that.
Nice album, especially the last song, Il Mostro Atomico (The Atomic Monster, according to Google Translate).
An 18 minute psychedelic stoner track with everything that once made me listen to stoner rock, also mostly instrumental.
Despite its considerable length, I've repeated it a few times last week

Good stuff - I thought they'd finished years ago.
If you like them... you might like Mammatus...
