I use RoundPie (formerly PomoDoneApp) as my pomodoro timer, and I link it to Beeminder via Zapier. But I can only beeminder _completed pomodoros_ by using a paid Zapier subscription, which is $30/month. That’s ridiculous. I originally relied on PomoDone, because it was the only solution I found that synced well across mobile and desktop. Now I don’t really need that anymore. So I’d be happy to change to a different pomodoro timer app. But a CLI script is probably not going to work for me because I don’t use the terminal at all in my day-to-day work. ADDENDUM: The ideal solution would work on web or on Windows if the app is available from the Microsoft Store (I have a corporate device with restrictions on what I can install). iOS is also good. ---

If you’re on Android, I use Clockwork Tomato for pomodoros + Tasker to report data to Beeminder. A bit involved/finicky to set up, but it works well and it’s free. ---

Thanks! Sadly not on Android - though if I get desperate maybe I can try using the Windows Subsystem for Android… ---

The two existing integrations I can think of are Toggl (which has a pomodoro option, though I don’t use it, though it may be only in the browser and app version rather than in the web version [based on this page](https://toggl.com/track/pomodoro-timer-toggl/)) and Trydeepwork (sort of, it does 30 minute increments as far as I can tell, which wouldn’t be a perfect match, but might work for recording it). ---

It’s probably overkill if all you need is to track pomodoros, but take a look at [the Intend app](https://intend.do/) (web interface only). It has a great Beeminder integration, including for the pomos you do at Intend. Even if you don’t need Intend’s main functionality, it costs less than what you’re currently paying by a factor of at least 3 – and @malcolm may still be offering the Beeminder user discount he offered many years ago, when I first signed up, which would make it a factor of 4 cheaper. ---

Intend creator here; I haven’t been offering the Beeminder discount in general but definitely if you’re mainly looking for a pomodoro tracker then seems very fair to offer you the same 25% off for linking with beeminder. DM me in the app intercom and I’ll set you up! Intend has a very robust Beeminder integration, build on our end, that can track “all pomos” or easily do lots of more powerful stuff like tracking pomos only when they are linked to a specific area or activity. ---

That sounds fabulous, @malcolm! Thanks so much. Reaching out now. ---

After a little experimentation, Intend is excellent and it may perhaps replace my Boss as a Service subscription. **However,** it’s not as frictionless for tracking pomodoros as my current setup. Therefore I’d love to see a direct **RoundPie/Beeminder integration**. Would the Bee team consider that? (I also wrote to RoundPie about it)
