AI planning · Windows
The AI Pomodoro planner
that keeps the receipts.
Your assistant makes the plan. PomoDeck turns it into work you actually did. Claude, Cursor and VS Code can read your real schedule and put tasks on your timer, and they cannot start it, so every session in your history is one you really ran.
A focus timer with live flow scoring, distraction blocking and Logitech MX hardware support, plus a local MCP server so an AI day planner can finally plan into something that keeps a record.

A plan in a chat window is gone when the chat is.
Most people already have an AI planner. They ask an assistant to shape the day, get back a tidy list of six things, and then close the tab. Nothing was scheduled. Nothing was timed. Nothing knows whether any of it happened, including the assistant, which will cheerfully build you the same unrealistic list again tomorrow.
PomoDeck fixes the last mile. It is a Pomodoro timer that an assistant can write into and read back from, so the plan lands on a real clock, the work is recorded as it happens, and the next plan is made with evidence instead of optimism.
How AI planning works
Pair your assistant once
Settings, Integrations. Name the client, pick what it may do, copy the token into its config. Takes about a minute and never needs doing again.
Plan out loud, as you already do
Ask for a day, a week, a way through a backlog. Your assistant reads what is already scheduled and what you tend to finish, then writes the tasks in with estimates and subtasks.
Press start
From the app, a Logitech MX Creative Console key or the MX Master 4 Actions Ring. The timer runs, distracting sites go dark, and your flow score builds.
Tomorrow's plan knows about today
Completions, durations and focus quality are all recorded locally. Next time your assistant plans, it can read that record first.
What an AI assistant can do here
It reads the day you actually have
Your assistant can see today's open tasks, the next four weeks of scheduled work, your subtasks and your estimates. It plans around what is already there instead of inventing a fresh list every conversation.
It checks the plan against your history
Before it commits you to eight tasks, it can ask how many you normally finish on a Wednesday, and which hours you are usually sharpest. It gets back ok, tight or overloaded, and is expected to move work rather than accept overloaded.
It hands back what it cannot do itself
When an assistant hits a login, a payment, a physical action or a judgement call, it creates a task holding the reason it stopped plus the exact steps. The work lands on your timer instead of dying in a chat log.
18 tools in total, covering the timer state, tasks, subtasks, the schedule, your focus pattern and reviewable plan proposals. Every one is listed in the developer docs.
And what it deliberately cannot.
A focus record is only worth something if it cannot be faked. So the limits are part of the design, not a roadmap item:
- Start, pause or skip your timer. There is no tool for it.
- Reshape your week silently. A batch of changes arrives as a proposal with a diff, and you approve, decline or undo it.
- Reach your machine from the internet. The server is loopback only and needs a token you issue and can revoke.
If what you want is an agent that logs focus time on your behalf, PomoDeck is the wrong tool and we would rather say so here than after you install it.
Questions people actually ask
Can AI plan my day and actually track it?
That is the whole point of this. The planning happens in your assistant, where you already think out loud. The tracking happens in PomoDeck, on a timer with a live focus score, so at the end of the day you have a record of what you did rather than a plan you meant to follow.
Is there an MCP server for a Pomodoro timer?
Yes, this one. PomoDeck ships a Model Context Protocol server with 18 tools, running locally at http://127.0.0.1:1314. The developer docs list every tool, the scopes and the config for each client.
Can Claude add tasks to my timer?
Yes. Claude Desktop and Claude Code both speak MCP over HTTP. Pair them once in Settings, Integrations, and Claude can create tasks with estimates, subtasks, dates and priorities. Reading is free on every plan; letting an assistant write needs Pro, and every install starts with 14 days of it.
Does it work with Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or ChatGPT?
Any client that speaks MCP over HTTP works, including Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Kiro and ChatGPT. The only quirk worth knowing is that VS Code names the block servers where everything else names it mcpServers.
Is my task list sent to a cloud?
PomoDeck sends nothing. Your sessions and tasks live in a SQLite file on your own machine, with no account and no telemetry. Be clear-eyed about the other half though: if you pair a cloud assistant, whatever it reads reaches its servers under its own privacy policy, exactly like anything else you type into it.
Do I need an AI assistant to use it?
No. PomoDeck is a complete Pomodoro timer on its own, with flow scoring, distraction blocking, tasks and statistics. The AI planning is one feature you can ignore entirely, and the timer never depends on a network.
Give your assistant somewhere to put the plan.
