I really like how just having 1 card for the day helps me focus. In the morning, I lay it all out on the front, and I have the back for notes and ideas. At the end of the day I transfer any notes where they need to go and file the card away.
Andrea H.
Love these cards. Well made and sturdy stock cards. I use them at work and they keep me on track. I feel organized and look forward to writing my tasks down. Bought another set I like them so much.
Nina C.
So write seven newsletters in an average month and use the cards to chart where we are in the process. I’m also using the cards to track personal tasks and chores
Allison K.
Amazing paper quality. LOVE the feel of it. As far as the "system" you kind of need to experiment to make it your own.
George R.
Quality card stock. Good packaging. Large writing space.
Hanna Z.
Great help. Wish they came in black xd
Hanna Z.
Really nice looking timer. Been using it for a month and have no complaints. Love it.
Justine M.
I have wanted a Pomodoro Timer for ages. Absolutely love it. I'll use it to death!
Justine M.
Haven't used the cards yet. Love the concept and the quality is fantastic.
Lucas M.
Really please with this purchase. Intuitive controls and a satisfying button on the dial. Brightness level and sound levels are solid. I appreciate the battery or plug in feature. Excited to pay around with the Pomodoro method.
Daniel
Excellent quality. Great service.
Tiberiu G.
I'm pleased with the pomodoro timer; it functions just as I anticipated. The product feels robust, featuring a convenient magnet on the back. Having two timers is fantastic as it allows me to schedule breaks ahead of time once the first timer finishes. Kudos to the team for a job well done!
Gracie
Super straight forward and just handy for when I need to get stuff done, love that I don’t have to use my phone. However you could probably use a regular kitchen timer.
scott
Perfect size and look. Easy to use.
Lee
It's well made if a bit plasticky with a satisfying smooth dial for setting the time.
The display is nice and bright but as other have mentioned it's just a two setting timer it doesn't automatically switch from one to the other when one of the timers complete which I would much prefer.
If you want a fancy looking dual timer for your desk get this, if not get a cheaper dual kitchen timer, it'll be the same thing.
Moco
These cards have been such a game changer as some one that needs to log my work time with different codes. I've started using them for non-work tasks during the weekends and it's helped me stay organised to get the tasks done.
What I love the most about these is the thickness of the cards - they just feel so sturdy and high quality!
Tiago F.
My most significant complain is that it doesn't need to have an M and S for minutes and seconds in there... that's what the : is supposed to mean. It just adds unnecessary clutter in the display.
G P.
High quality. High value. Even the cards are thicker than expected. Other products similar to this are 2-3x the price. Can't beat it! My only gripe would be for an option of a 12hr day.
Mary
Love this product will be ordering again.
Christian T.
The timer is a simple tool which supports centered working if you are ready for it. If not the timer won't help.
Lluis P.
A good co-worker, the best system to get away from your cell phone when working.
Marie-Cécile D.
Très bon outil pour la méthode Pomodoro.

First, three details I couldn't find on the product page but which would be handy to know before purchasing:
1. These cards are 100x150mm, so nearly A6 (105x148mm) but not quite. If you're the kind of person who wants to take your daily card with you tucked into a notebook then that's possible, but there will be a little bit of horizontal overhang with an A6 cahier-style notebook, perhaps none with a hardcover that extends past the pages.
2. The card is very heavy/stiff. (Possibly in the realm of 300gsm?) Much thicker than your average file card or similar "strategist" or "pocket briefcase" cards from other companies. This isn't a bad thing: it says "premium" and gives the cards substance (psychologically valuable), and of course the cards are a pleasure to use. But they are heavier than needed for functionality – a thinner card will stand up in the tray just as well – and it does feel a little wasteful for something that's ultimately discarded once the day is done. I do think the cards could be slightly lighter in weight without any loss of quality or delight.
3. The dot grid is not the customary 5mm spacing, but 6.5mm (just over a quarter of an inch).

Now the review proper…
First impressions: These cards are thoughtfully and intelligently designed, with a view to making them not only useful but _attractive_. That's important, because a system like this is pointless if you don't feel a desire to use it and if using it doesn't give you pleasure. Given the design together with the quality, I can easily imagine forming a habit with these cards. I especially like the time-block grid and the fact that it accommodates night-owl creatives by extending a full 24 hours. (I also really like the 24-hour European style time markers, so please don't abandon those.) Another big plus: The card surface is great for all writing implements. I didn't bother buying the carbon fibre tip pencil as I'm a Blackwing fan, but I can confirm that these cards work beautifully with graphite (and erase nicely too) as well as both pigment-based and dye-based fountain pen inks. Fineliners and gel pens also work nicely on these cards; ditto biros. So whatever your preferred writing tool, you'll likely be happy. If I have a (minor) complaint it's the odd 6.5mm dot grid spacing. I use 5mm everywhere else (notebooks, etc.) and that has become my preference. That said, it's not a deal-breaker and I can easily imagine other people considering it a plus, depending on their handwriting size/style. I'd also quite like to see the thickness of the card reduced just a little. But again, not a deal-breaker. Looking forward to using these cards and seeing how they work for me.

"Excellent materials and good build quality. It would have been helpful to have a button to manage at least one preset for the timer. Recommended."
pau i.
it's good.
i'd love if it change from 1 to 2 automatically.
I'm missing a 3rd level of sound, 1 and 2 are sometime to loud.
everything else its super nice for the moment
JAMES W.
Great quality and super fast delivery!!
Joachim K.
Nice widget. It completes my desktop
Steffi W.
Really nice cards, fine paper. Its the first thing that works for me, thanks so much!
Reece R.
its sexy, pocketable and once you get used to it, works exactly how you'd expect.
Only change I might think of is allowing for the alarm to go off once or a third extra low option to avoid disturbing your office and maybe a harder more solid plastic to make it match the design quality
Bill D.
Great tool easy to use. Perfect!
Eric M.
The Time and Task cards fit perfectly into my Pomodoro routine!! I like having a non-electronic method of tracking my tasks and projects throughout the day.
subbaraju
Looks decent and promising
Andrew S.
I find the dials - turn fast for minutes, turn slow for seconds - are taking a bit of getting used to. I often go over the number I'm aiming for and have to come back. Having some kind of memory/restore function for the T1 and T2 timers would be nice - e.g. different profiles. Also a lock button on the side to guard against any accidental button presses or knob twiddling. But as a double-display timer, yes this works fine.
Suren D.
Really love this simple tool. It allows me to set periods of focused time that has really has helped my productivity. The fact that it is not my Apple Watch or my phone has meant that I am not as easily distracted when I check the time left in a focused period.
Jack
Very good and easy to set up. It would be extra great if the main dial automatically changed its selection / focus between the two timers when one runs out. Other than this it’s a brilliant timer.
Manmadhan K.
Love this unique timer. Bold numbers are eye catching even from far. The first timer I’ve used consistently.
Neil
Really pleased with this. Arrived early, does exactly what it says on the tin
Only thing I'm not sure about is the USB-C port. The timer seems to need 3x AA batteries to function, so I'm not clear what purpose the USB-C serves as there doesn't seem to be a built in rechargeable battery?
Andy R.
Very thought out card for capturing my tasks and being able to visualise
Jason
Fast shipping and the timer is cool.
Josh
This is similar to a kitchen timer but looks so much better! The timers are independent to my knowledge, so running down the task timer to 0 does not automatically start the break timer. The numbers are backlit with 2 levels of brightness, but turn off completely when not actively counting seconds. A nice option is that this takes USB-C input in addition to normal batteries (USB does not provide recharging ability).
Rich
Fulfillment from the US meant more buys. Would subscribe if you offered subscriptions
Vanessa U.
These seriously been a game-changer for me! They've totally transformed the way I tackle my tasks and keep track of my day. With these cards, I can physically see what I need to do, and breaking tasks into smaller chunks makes everything feel more manageable.
What I love most is that they give me this amazing sense of accomplishment. I feel like I'm really making progress, which keeps me motivated and focused. Plus, they help me prioritise my tasks so I can tackle the most important things first without feeling overwhelmed.
Angela
Larger than expected
Daniel I.
Adorei o produto!
Apenas fiquei descontente por não fazer a transição automática do tempo de concentração para o tempo de descanso
Muito minimal
E chegou no tempo previsto
Recomendo bastante
Josh S.
Exactly what I wanted. Works really well. Love the magnet mount. Love the knob—sets fast without fiddly buttons. Love the clean look. I wish the sound of the alarm wasn’t such a generic beep, but you can’t have it all, can you? Overall, highly recommend.
Michael
Great quality products
Cole A.
Wonderful timer, easy to use, functional, and overall a beneficial tool to use in increasing productivity.
Nadya P.
I love the cards. The thickness and paper quality is tops. I am in process of figuring out how to use them to my liking and make my little lists look good etc. I wish the times on the time grid was not military time though. My brain doesn't immediately understand military time, and time-management is all about managing time-blindness. You should have a option not to have military time on there b/c my brain doesn't see/understand what 15:00 means immediately enough to be able to see at a glance where I'm at with my time plan.
Andrii F.
This is an excellent tool to keep your ADHD under control.
I would say it is missing an automatic switch to a second timer. The alarm's minimal level is still too loud and too long - you are always sitting next to the timer and never need to have a loud and long alarm that might also trigger while you are on a call, during a presentation, or distract others while sitting in the open space.
Alan B.
Very good timer. Two settings. Works perfectly for my needs. Highly recommended.
Panayiotis P.
The display is clear and it works nicely. Such a useful tool for focus!
Cheryl A.
Love the pomodoro timer is sleek and fits well on my desk thank you!
Ethan M.
I really like the aesthetic and function of this product. I use the pomodoro technique when I'm studying and this helps me stay on track!
The fact that it isn't tied to my phone or computer makes it even better!
Dan H.
I have been really impressed with the build quality and durability of the Pomo Doro timer. I am using it daily and the batteries are lasting ages. I hadn't even realised it had magnets on the back, very useful!
Paul B.
Perfect dual timer - works really intuitively, well designed and excellent build quality. Really impressed and would recommend highly.
Lynda
I love this! Keeps me on my toes on what I need to get done and I can document how much time I’m actually spending on jobs. I love the wooden stand that accompanied it as well. So handy
Lynda
Pretty good. I don’t use it all the time. But it’s helpful when I have a lot of work to do and helps me focus!
Rich
My favorite of the four or so analog card planner systems I’ve tried. Bigger card and the format slaps. Quicker delivery—thank you!
Jonathan
Absolutely love these. You can’t beat a handwritten to do list. I use this alongside ClickUp for work and it really works well.
Jonathan
This is really well made and works a treat. Much better to have a physical timer than use an app. Highly recommend.
Michael
Really love this timer. Small and does exactly what you want it to do. One timer for working and one for taking a break.
Robert R.
Looks great and very minimalist. Love the retro look.
The only improvement I would like to see is having it rechargeable via USB.
Jake C.
exactly what i wanted :)
M S.
True Pomdoro timers move seamlessly from the first timer to the second and back to the first seamlessly. This device is just 2 separate/independent timers, which is disappointing.
Tim C.
I'm a huge pomodoro fan and have used a simple egg timer for years.
I spotted this on facebook I think and decided to buy one.
LOVES: clean, minimalist design. 2x timers so I can switch from doing (25mins) to dossing (5mins).
COULD BE BETTER: The buttons on the left hand side should be on the top (certainly the T1/T2 buttons) . It is infuriatingly fiddly to switch from T1 to T2.
So much so, if they redesigned this, I would buy it again.
Hold some charge. If you don't have batteries in the timers reset to 00:00 all the time.
Sort the dialer out. The twist up, twist down to set the minutes and hours is a bit annoying as it doesn't quite seem to work. Factor in running this off a USB cable with no batteries and it becomes 'throw it at the wall' annoying.
So to round up. Looks great, once set up, with batteries its mostly OK. If you want to run it 'wireless' prepared for rage outbursts every 25/5 minutes. :)
Chris
This little gadget is superb. Software timers are too easy to ignore or forget, phone timers lead to too much engagement with the phone, so this clear, unintrusive device fits perfectly. I usually hate single-purpose tools but this fulfills the role of removing distraction perfectly. Glad I bought it.
Zach
Just arrived. Neat little timer, but if you put batteries in it, the magnets are too weak to hold it up. -_-
Andrew
Simple timer with two clocks.
Rene S.
Simple but super effective. Really easy to use and it's nice that the timer dims when it's not in use. Would really recommend!
Evangelos G.
Really good piece for my desk and has immensely improved my productivity. 4 Stars as I thought that the second timer would start as soon as the first one ended. That would have been perfect!
Peter G.
Love this timer...so clear, simple, and above all the knob to set time (instead of punching buttons) makes it a clear winner.
Mergen H.
Really good timer. Simple and easy to use.
Nik R.
Helps me focus on tasks. Well made and easy to use
Tim B.
Love it, small, neat, does exactly what it says. Love that it’s battery / usb depending on what you want.
Adam
The Pomodoro timer is great. Helps focus my mine and time.
Adam
Really like the manual process of planning my time and the feel of the card. These are great for tracking my time.
Tim
Absolutely love it, simple, does what it needs to, wasn’t sure how to use it but figured it out straight away (slow turn = seconds, fast turn = minutes) thanks guys!
Chris
Big bright display which is adjustable, alarm volume is adjustable and can also be turned off. Simply to use, can use batteries or the included USB-C cable. The body of timer is plastic, I thought it was metal, but still very happy with the timer.
Mary A.
Desktop bling and not obtrusive! I love the design - especially how the task-notes cards are propped on the tray. My work desk is not 'minimal' at all - more like organised clutter. But I always have a day/week to do list. This MDS task-tray setup provides some order. Also, very pleasant to look at since I can display my favoured pencil-fountain pen combo.
Santiago
Me encanta! Diseño honesto, estético y funcional. Envío rápido. Llegó en 8 días a Pontevedra.
Pelle .
This is mostly a minimally modified kitchen timer.
It eg doesn’t automatically switch between work and break timer (one has to switch oneself like one do on a normal double kitchen timer) and the alarm sounds is everything but soothing, it’s the very same one as in a kitchen alarm clock
To get more stars it would have to:
- Have some Pomodoro-specific features, such as switching from work to break timer automatically or eg supporting long breaks every X break
- Have a work oriented alarm sound
On the positive side:
- I really like using the wheel to adjust the time, though that’s a somewhat weird feature on a Pomodoro clock, as changing the length of a period there is quite rare once you have dialed yourself into it (though since this one doesn’t do automatic long breaks every X break the wheel might see some more use than it should be seeing)
Nessie C.
I have been wanting this time for a while now and finally decided 2024 the time.
I use the timer in my phone and an old cooking timer to measure my working time, but both are hard to see from a distance and are single times only.
This timer is well designed, looks great at my desk and its functions are really well thought through.
I would recommend.
Dave B.
Great easy to use with ideal display size.
Dax H.
I kinda wish it was pre-programmed to 25/5 pomodoro time. I appreciate that it's flexible, but I've spent more time resetting the timer than I'd like...
Bronson S.
Great little helper. Helps to keep me focussed and on task.
Fredric Ö.
The two seperate timers works really good. The jogwheel is is intuitive, a slow rotation adjusts seconds, and quick rotations adjust minutes.
You should know it can only be set in sequences of 5 seconds though.
Not only can it do count down, but if you start it from 00:00, it will actually work as a regular timer.
I was afraid it would be really plasticy, while the side buttons are fairly plastic and dull the casing feels fairly robust though.
The two magnets on the back is great as it doubles as a kitchen timer in my house. All in all, pretty nice design, works like a charm.
Rebecca O.
My husband was over the moon excited to get this! It has been helping him with time management during work. Thanks!
Wilson K.
As a freelancer, I struggle with keeping track of tasks and managing my time efficiently. Since I got task and time, I've seen a some improvement in my productivity. The to-do list is so easy to update, and the time grid helps me allocate my hours effectively. Plus, it looks stunning on my desk!
Ed H.
Useful for tasks that require time boxing. Glad it also uses USB-C, batteries suck! Very happy!
Daniel P.
This Task and Time system is a lifesaver for someone who gets easily distracted like me. Having a physical to-do list and a time grid right in front of me keeps me focused on my tasks. It's satisfying to see my progress throughout the day.
The design is sleek and the materials used are of great quality, adding a professional look to my desk. It's a simple yet effective tool for anyone looking to improve their time management and productivity.
Maggie S.
The Task and Time system is exactly what I needed to streamline my day. The dual-sided design with a to-do list and time grid is both practical and visually appealing.
It has become an essential part of my morning routine, helping me to focus and organize my day ahead. The quality of the materials is top-notch, making it a durable and neat addition to my desk.
The only thing I wish I had was some sort of way to see the entire week at a glance.
Joseph Y.
Task and Time has been a game-changer for my daily planing. The left side's to-do list is so straighforward, making it easy to prioritize my tasks. On the right, the time grid is perfect for blocking out my schedule. It's compact and fits neatly on my desk, adding a touch of elegance to my workspace. Since I started using it, my productivity has definitely improved. Highly recommend for anyone who values writing things down.
