(I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know if it’s any good.)

I’m impressed with [Clockwork Tomato](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.phlam.android.clockworktomato&hl=en). It has Tasker integration so you could have it send completed pomodoros to Beeminder, and it records you whole history and lets you export it, so you could hack up a way to import that to Google Calendar. Actually there are probably plenty of ways to do that in realtime with Tasker+IFTTT, possibly using Beeminder as the glue (since the Beeminder IFTTT integration, which we’re about to officially launch, has both Triggers and Actions for “new datapoint added”.)

Consider to look at **Focus Timer Reborn**. It is Pomodoro Timer for Android, it has also web part. NIce stats and log of your pomodoro history. And what is best - it is free.

You can look at [https://focus-timer-reborn.com/](https://focus-timer-reborn.com/) or download it from [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.apps.focustimer](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.apps.focustimer)

This isn’t a direct answer to the original post’s question, and this is far from timely, but —

I’ve found that pomodoros are such a simple system that pomodoro apps are generally over-engineered (and usually opinionated in ways I disagree with), and that nothing beats the simplicity of using the timer on my phone’s native clock app, and logging a pomodoro through Beeminder’s Slack integration.

`/bee pomodoros++` and voila!

Caveats: In my situation, I almost always have Slack open. (If I don’t, opening the iOS Beeminder app is fast and easy.) And in my role, I’m rarely able to keep to exact schedule, so a calendar integration wouldn’t work for me.

[Here’s my pomodoro graph](https://www.beeminder.com/mattepp/pomodoros) FWIW.

Good conlusions.

I tend to/insist on search/(ing) for app connected with Google Calendar, because it enables you to see ,whole" picture of your ,time" visually (and quite reliably due to almighty powers).

For example I also sync my sleep with SleepDroid.

I hope to quantify one day ,most" of precious time (sleep - work - play → from Pareto law) (or elimnate ,waste" that way).

Probaly it would be possible to estimate that all from Google/FB activity, but they don’t want to share with us ☹

That’s why I will probaly use +30 min goal at beeminder for my work (Pareto once again).

I am curious how pomodoro apps are opinionated in ways you disagree with
