Work, Bud

Pomodoro tracker with a cute work buddy for repeatable, multi-stage projects

Free

This little work tracker app is like a checklist for routines - for example a full video production you go through every day.  It should help people that need a gentle reminder to "get back to work, bud!"

It has pomodoros, and all kinds of pauses in between. Because sitting all day is a big pain in the butt. Literally.

It has a work buddy, because it helps ADHD people to have someone next to them to focus. The first buddy's name is Nori. 

You can customize how they look, what they do and say.  It has checklists and stats - to counteract time blindness people like me overindulge in.

You can create your routines, make them as detailed and thorough as you want. If you already have routines and/or checklists, the creator allows you to paste them as plain text, and it will automatically create a routine for you.

The stats are available as a feature only because ‘Work, Bud’ deals with repetitive work, the kind you don’t change your approach on.  So it can haz granular stats too - for the routines you’re doing, any specific stage of a routine, and even the individual subtasks of those stages can give you details, if you really wanna know the tasks you’re skipping or can’t finish on time. But this is certainly not the main feature of the app. It will never be about the grindset or productivity maxxing.


It’s free, you can install it as a web app fully locally, there’s literally no data collection whatsoever. If we were ever to monetize it, it would be providing more custom buddies. In other words, selling cosmetic packs.
