PomoDial Now Integrates with Todoist
Import your tasks as focus session intentions — and close them automatically.
PomoDial now integrates with Todoist. Connect your account, import tasks as focus session intentions, and automatically mark them complete when your Pomodoro session finishes.

Automatic task completion
When your focus session timer reaches zero PomoDial automatically marks the linked Todoist task as complete. No manual updates needed — your task list stays in sync with your actual work.
Why set an intention before your Pomodoro?
Most Pomodoro timers just start counting down. PomoDial asks what you're working on first. Connecting Todoist makes this even more powerful — your intentions come directly from your actual task list rather than being typed from scratch each time.
There's a simple psychology behind it. Naming the task before the clock starts is a small act of commitment: you've decided what this block of time is for, so drifting into email feels like breaking a promise rather than just wandering. It also removes decision fatigue — the hardest part of starting is often choosing, and pulling the task straight from Todoist means that choice is already made. What's left is a single, clear thing to focus on, which is exactly what deep work needs.
