How to Use PomoDial with Claude

Start timed focus sessions, track your intentions, and check your productivity summary without leaving your Claude conversation.

PomoDial is now an official Claude connector. Start timed focus sessions, mark them complete, and check your productivity summary directly from a Claude conversation — without opening a new tab or switching apps.

Every session you start from Claude syncs to your PomoDial account at pomodial.com, where your full intention journal, focus streak, and dial collection live.

What the PomoDial Claude connector does

The connector gives Claude three tools:

Start a focus session — tell Claude what you're working on and how long you want to focus. Claude creates the session, sets your intention, and gives you a direct link to open your timer on pomodial.com.

Complete a session — when your focus block ends, tell Claude you're done. The session is marked complete, your streak updates, and any newly unlocked dials are revealed.

Get your productivity summary — ask Claude for your focus stats at any time. You'll see your current streak, total sessions, total focus time, sessions this week, and your three most recent intentions.

Example prompts to try

Once connected, try these in Claude:

• "Start a 25 minute focus session on writing my weekly report"
• "Start a 52 minute deep work session on reviewing the contract"
• "I just finished my focus session — mark it complete"
• "Show me my PomoDial productivity summary"
• "How many focus sessions have I done this week?"
• "Start a 10 minute session on clearing my inbox"

Claude will handle the rest — creating the session, returning your timer link, and updating your stats when you're done.

Why use PomoDial with Claude?

If you're already using Claude for research, writing, planning, or deep work, PomoDial keeps your focus tracking in the same conversation. You declare your intention before starting — "writing the introduction to the client proposal" not just "work" — and that intention is saved alongside every session.

Over time your PomoDial history becomes a searchable journal of what you actually worked on, when, and for how long. Pro users can export this as CSV for client billing or personal review.

What syncs to pomodial.com

Everything you do through the Claude connector syncs to your PomoDial account:

• Sessions appear in your intention journal at pomodial.com/history
• Completions count toward your focus streak
• Dial unlocks trigger automatically when you hit milestones
• Your productivity summary reflects all sessions — from Claude, ChatGPT, and the web timer
