About TomatoVynl

TomatoVynl is a free focus timer built around a simple idea: meaningful work deserves a calm ritual rather than another noisy productivity dashboard. Whether you use the classic Pomodoro technique or prefer longer deep work intervals, the interface is centered around a tactile vinyl record that keeps time with your momentum.

Designed to Reduce Friction

Most timer tools require sign-ups, subscriptions, or complex configurations before you can even begin. TomatoVynl eliminates that friction entirely. There is no account required and no login prompt. You simply choose a session preset, select an audio atmosphere, and press Start.

Tactile Flow & Focus Mode

TomatoVynl provides three straightforward presets: Classic (25/5), Deep (50/10), and Flow (90/20). When you press Start, the interface transitions immediately into Focus Mode—hiding secondary setup controls and background distractions so your attention stays anchored on the task at hand. If you reach the end of a session and find yourself in a state of flow, TomatoVynl transitions smoothly into overtime rather than abruptly interrupting your concentration.

Ambient Sound & Curated Radio

Sound plays a vital role in entering deep focus. TomatoVynl integrates two distinct listening modes:

• Ambient Sound: Procedurally synthesized directly in your browser using the Web Audio API—offering pure brown noise, white noise, and vinyl crackle with no external server requests.
• Radio Stations: Curated streaming stations spanning Lofi, Chill, Alternative, Energy, and Dimensional for melodic focus companionship.

Audio is tied directly to your timer: when you start or resume, sound plays; when you pause or reset, sound pauses immediately.

Free Focus Timer for Pomodoro and Deep Work

TomatoVynl is built for Pomodoro sessions, deep work, and distraction-free study. Whether you are writing, programming, or studying for exams, TomatoVynl provides a tactile visual centerpiece with gentle vinyl momentum to help you stay immersed in your craft.

Unlike rigid timers that force abrupt context switches, sessions flow naturally into overtime so you never lose your train of thought. Your preferences stay stored locally on your device, and the interface becomes quieter once you start focusing.

Private & Local-First

Your work habits belong to you. TomatoVynl uses local browser storage for your timer settings, theme preferences, and session notes. Nothing is tracked on remote servers, and no advertising trackers run in the background.
