Draw your focus. Control your time.

"Where creativity meets productivity."

How Drawdoro works

Draw your time. Drawdoro is a Pomodoro timer where your drawing is the clock. Set how long to focus, draw any line you like, and watch it change as the time runs.

Normally the line erases during Focus and grows back during Break. You can swap this with Start in Line.

Draw

Drag to draw. Let go and draw again, and the two pieces join with a straight line.

No ideas? Use Quick start, or start from a shape (more in Drawings).
Undo removes the last stroke. Hold it for a second to clear the line.
Save up to 4 drawings in Drawings to use again.

Move

Press Move in the bottom bar, then drag your drawing wherever you like (pinch to zoom on a phone). Or use its buttons and sliders to turn, zoom, flip or centre it. It always stays on screen.

Line

Pick the colour, thickness and glow.
Start: Solid or Shadow sets what Focus does. Solid: the line starts full and erases. Shadow: it starts as a faint outline and fills in. Break always does the opposite.

Direction picks which end erases first. Trail leaves a faint outline where the line was.
Labels put time dots along the line. The Marker rides the moving end: a Glow ring, Pac-Man, or your own picture (Upload IMG, not saved).

Background

Faint scenes to trace over, your own photo (not saved), and moving Effects like rain or snow.

Running

Set Focus, Break and Cycles at the top, then press Start.

Back undoes a Skip. End stops and takes you back to your drawing (in Flow, it shows your summary).
Pop out puts a small timer window on top of your other apps. Chrome and Edge on a computer only.

Sounds & alerts

Open Alerts. Choose Off, Simple (one sound for everything) or Custom (a sound for each moment).
Count-in counts 3·2·1 before you start. Between phases ticks in the last seconds before each switch.

Pick one from the mode button at the top right. Only one runs at a time.

Open the list with the To-do button or T.
Type a task and press Enter. Click a task to tick it off, drag the dots to reorder, and use the pencil to edit.
Give it a time: tap the clock, or press Tab and type focus, break and cycles, like Write intro Tab 25 5 2. Add s for seconds.
Run this plan runs your timed tasks in order, one after another.
By time colours tasks from green (short) to red (long).

Getting started

You draw a line. It shows your focus time running out.

The timer erases it from the end back to the start. Break rebuilds it the other way.

Drag to draw. Let go and start again to join with a straight line.

Press play when you're happy with it.

Save it under Drawings to keep it for later.

Use the settings bar at the bottom for the to-do list, Line, Move, Drawings, Background and Alerts. Hover a button to see what it does.

Use the menu for achievements.

Tap Undo for one stroke, or hold it 1 second to start over.

Tap info for more.

Tap info anytime to come back here.

Line or Move

Line and Move are in the settings bar. Move unlocks once your line has length.

Line changes how it looks. Move repositions it.

Line sets color, labels, direction, trail, glow, marker, and thickness.

Move lets you drag, pinch, zoom, rotate, or flip the line, always kept on the canvas.
