Griply is already an incredible tool for setting and tracking goals, but adding a built-in pomodoro timer would take it to the next level. Right now, I have to switch between Griply and a separate timer app every time I want to do focused work, which completely breaks my flow.
A pomodoro feature integrated directly into goals and tasks would mean I can plan and execute in one place. Imagine starting a focus session directly from a task, having your sessions logged automatically and seeing how many pomodoros it actually took to reach a milestone.
It would make Griply the one app I'd never need to leave. Please make it happen!

Check ticktick as I think their implementation is excellent. For each task you can activate the focus mode and the pomodoro timer. Then, once in the timer you can activate the always active screen, add notes, and keep the phone as usual, but with the timer on a floating window that always keeps on top. This is great since it allows you to use other apps if needed, but always with the timer on top.

Completely agree. I love the way it can either count upwards (stopwatch) or down (timer).

I suggest there should be a mechanism to keep users focused on the plan/task by implementing a session feature which will have count down/up. The user should be able to select the task and start the session instantly or follow the day plan. The attach screenshot from another application which focus on that feature mostly.

This is really important in combination with another feature that I think is totally missing in the task manager space: working on a task
(and seeing that work time is visualized and accounted for in the weekly review) while not yet checking it off for now.
The workaround here, of course, is to make the task a subgoal and add a repeating task to work on it, but this creates a lot of friction compared to the time-tracking, IMHO. We can already timeblock areas, which is super-awesome, and it also means most of the mechanics for this are in place.

Having a abuilt in Pomodoro unlocks the real potential of Griply helping Griply position it self a complete tool for Strategic Goal setting to perfect execution. It would be great if Griply adds pomodoro with session analytics tied with goals to show how much efforts /time is spent in each goals on daily/weekly basis as an input matrix.

I was literally going to ask for this feature & I’m happy that it’s already requested by someone else. I hope you wtart working on this & roll it out soon, really gonna help a lot

I agree, although many people seem to want this feature. However, I'm not sure how it integrates with Griply's core philosophy. There are already several apps with dedicated timers. What specific benefit would having an integrated timer provide?

No friction through app switching,
the ability to track having worked on something, but not having finished it
Statistics based on how much time of the week was spent in each area. Checked tasks don’t give you this time effort perspective
Better estimation of repeated tasks. This could even be a feature as in: last time this took you 5 hours to complete - do you want to consider a similar amount of duration this time?

Habit tracking is about how a habit develops. There are a lot of habits that aren’t just yes/no. Did I reach a goal? Did I surpass my expectations even? What’s about when I do work on a habit but have a lazy day and do just a little bit?
The question here is: do Gripy aim to be a real habit tracker where you are able to collect all the data and do the analysis or is it just a task planning tool that uses “habit tracking” as a marketing term?

I think this feature is perfect because you can really see what blocks you really followed up on and their duration. This is a relatively simple feature that would have tremendous payoff.

Hey team! This could be a feature combination with this to make Focus Mode completely frictionless.
Right now, getting into deep work takes too many manual steps. Be able to launch a session in one tap, Griply doing all the heavy lifting:
Multi-Device Blocking: Automatically block distracting apps and sites (social media) on both laptop and phone as soon as focus mode starts.
Auto Status Sync: Auto-update status on Slack and Teams to 'In Focus Session' and flip on Do Not Disturb.
Built-in Focus Audio: Add native lo-fi beats, brown noise, and ambient sounds directly in the app so users don't have to jump over to Spotify or YouTube.
Why this matters: It removes all startup friction, keeps users from getting pulled away by external apps, and helps with deep work blocks without manual setup.
Everything (blocking, audio, status update) with a quick confirmation prompt on exit so people don't accidentally close sessions on impulse.
