Inpomo · Inverted Pomodoro

Inverted Pomodoro — for people who babysit AI coding agents

The inverted Pomodoro for vibe coders.

Inpomo — short for Inverted Pomodoro — helps you step away from AI-babysitting. Fire off Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, then actually walk away. Classic Pomodoro maximizes your focus time; Inpomo flips it so the agent gets the long work block and you get a short handoff window. Start the tomato, leave the screen, and come back only when it's your turn.

The loop

One short human window. One long machine block.

01

1 · Hand off

Drop one precise prompt or review target. Then stop hovering.

02

2 · Let it run

Start the agent block. The app gets out of your way so you can leave the screen.

03

3 · Walk away

A local notification pings you the moment the machine needs a human again.

04

4 · Train the gap

“Overripe” time tracks every minute you relapse into babysitting. Shrink it.

King of Agents

Two hours hands-off. You don't manage agents, you reign.

Two tabs, nothing more

A timer to leave behind. A list for the ideas that hit while you're gone.

Timer

One big ring, Start & leave, and your “overripe” overrun — the time you relapse into babysitting. Timestamp-based, so it stays correct even after your phone sleeps.

Prompts

A quick local list to park ideas while you're away — type it or dictate it. Back at your desk, check off the ones you acted on and train the gap longer.

Everywhere you work

Desktop tray. iPhone in your pocket.

Desktop (Mac · Windows · Linux)

Lives in your system tray. Start a block, the window hides, you focus elsewhere.

iPhone

Background-safe timer with local notifications — leave your phone, get pinged on time. Coming to the App Store.

Private by design

No account, no cloud, no tracking. Everything stays on your device.

Give the agent the timer. Take back your attention.

Start the tomato, walk away from the screen, and come back only when a human is actually needed. Private, on-device, on desktop and iPhone.
