01
Getting started

The basics, fast.

What is PomoZentra, in one line?
It is a Pomodoro timer with an output tracker built in. You run focused sprints, log what each block actually produced, and end the day with one honest score weighted toward revenue-driving work. See how every part fits together.
How is it different from a normal Pomodoro timer?
A normal timer counts minutes. PomoZentra counts results. Every sprint is tagged to a category and tied to real units of work, so eight finished sprints of inbox cleanup do not score the same as eight sprints of sales. The number reflects what moved the business, not how long you sat at the desk. More on the thinking in Output, not hours.
How is it different from a time tracker like Toggl or Clockify?
Time trackers answer "where did my hours go". PomoZentra answers "were those hours worth it". It is not a billing timesheet with dozens of menus. It is one focus loop, six categories, and a daily score you can read in two seconds.
Do I need to install anything?
No. PomoZentra runs in your browser. Open the app, sign in, and start a sprint. It works on desktop and mobile browsers with nothing to download.
How long until I get something useful out of it?
Your first scored day. Run a few sprints, log what each one produced, and you get an honest read on whether the day was actually good. Patterns in your week show up after about five working days.

02
The timer & sprints

Focus that bends to your work.

Do I have to use the 25 and 5 minute intervals?
No. 25 and 5 is the default because it works for most people, but every interval is adjustable. Some run 50 and 10 for deep delivery work and tighter 15 minute bursts for outbound. Set it to match the work in front of you.
What happens if I get interrupted in the middle of a sprint?
Interruptions happen, especially when you run your own business. You can pause or end a sprint early and log what it produced up to that point. Nothing is wasted, and the honest log is more useful than a perfect streak.
Will the breaks pull me out of deep work?
Only if you let them. The interval is a suggestion, not a rule. For deep creative or build work, set a longer block so the timer protects flow instead of breaking it. The point is uninterrupted focus on one thing, then a record of what it made. See killing the inbox reflex.
Do I have to log output after every sprint? Is that a lot of admin?
Logging takes a few seconds. When the bell rings you pick a category and note what the block produced, such as three calls booked or one section shipped. That one habit is what turns a plain timer into an honest record, and it is far lighter than reconstructing your week from memory.
Can I plan my sprints before I start?
Yes. You can queue what you are about to work on so you make one decision before the clock starts, not ten. Pro adds a weekly rotation planner to shape the whole week in advance. See a weekly rotation that books more calls.

03
Output & scoring

The number, and why it is honest.

What does PomoZentra actually count as output?
Real units of work you choose, not vague effort. Emails sent, calls booked, proposals out, features shipped, deliverables done. You define what a block produced, tag it to a category, and the score weighs it from there.
What are the six categories?
Revenue (sales, outbound, offers), Delivery (client work and shipping product), Admin (inbox, ops, billing, planning), Learning (deliberate study tied to a goal), Personal (errands, family, fitness) and Waste (scrolling and doomloops). Every block lands in exactly one. Read the case for them in the 6 categories every founder should track.
How is the daily score calculated?
One honest number per day, built from your logged blocks and their categories. Revenue and delivery score high, admin and learning are necessary but capped, personal is logged with no penalty, and waste costs you. That weighting is what stops the score being gamed by looking busy.
Why does revenue work score higher than admin?
Because for a founder or freelancer, a clean inbox does not pay rent. Admin is necessary, so it is logged and counted, but capped so a full day of it cannot look like a great day. The score is biased toward the work that keeps you in business on purpose.
Can I just game the score by logging fake output?
You can, but you would only be lying to yourself. There is no boss and no leaderboard here. Waste is a real category that lowers your number, so the tool is built to reward honesty. A score that flatters you is worse than no score at all.
What about a genuinely bad day? Does a low score punish me?
A low day is information, not a verdict. One bad day is noise. The value shows up across a week, where you can see whether revenue work is getting crowded out by admin and fix the pattern, not beat yourself up over a number. More on that in why your calendar lies.

04
Who it is for

Founders, freelancers, solo operators.

Is this for me if I am a solo founder?
Yes, that is the core user. PomoZentra is built for people who answer to a profit and loss statement and need their best hours going to revenue, not to whatever shouted loudest. It is opinionated about that on purpose.
Can freelancers use it to track billable client work?
Yes. Tag delivery sprints to specific client work and you get an honest record of where your billable hours actually went, plus a check that client delivery is not eating the time you need for finding the next client.
Does it track sales activity like calls and cold emails?
Yes. Outbound is exactly the kind of revenue work the score is built to reward. Log calls booked or emails sent per sprint and watch whether you are actually doing the activity that fills the pipeline, week over week. See how to run a 25 minute cold email sprint.
Can a small team use it together?
PomoZentra is built around the individual operator's day, so there is no shared team dashboard yet. Small teams use it by each running their own scored day and comparing weekly patterns. If you want native team features, tell us, because we ship based on what users ask for.
I have tried Pomodoro before and quit. Why would this be different?
Most people quit a plain timer because counting tomatoes gets boring and meaningless. The output log and daily score give the loop a point. You are not chasing a streak, you are watching a number that tells the truth about your week. And the intervals flex, so the method bends to your work instead of the other way around. See motivation is a myth.
