01The working device · still from prototype footage

I made Pomodoist to keep one task and a focus timer on a small screen beside me. It connects today’s Todoist tasks with a Pomodoro timer, using the device’s own buttons or touch controls. The photographs show the electronics and an enclosed prototype; the separate interface references show the focus and task-selection screens. This is the dedicated desk object, while my wider ESP32 work develops the software it can share with other devices.

Concept arrangement based on the project board inventory: grey printed timer enclosure, rectangular and round display boards, puck, ESP32/C3 devkits and an unlit camera board. Illustrated screens and arrangement are not proof of simultaneous firmware support.
