Cetriolo is a simple HTML5 (i.e. HTML+JS, works in recent browsers) task management plus time-slicing app.
The name is a riff on Pomodoro — 'cetriolo' is the Italian word for 'cucumber'.
You create new tasks by dragging the handles on the left of the screen into the workspace. You delete/archive them by dragging them into the areas marked 'Archive' and 'Throw away'. Select tasks by clicking on them, update their description by clicking on the description of a selected task.
Similarly, task lists are renamed by clicking on their description.
The state of your task list and timer are saved to localStorage
, and
restored the next time the page is loaded. I hope to move to
remoteStorage
for this at some point in the future.
The clock on the top of the screen can be used to time a slice of work (25 minutes) or a break (5 minutes). I've found that, as the Pomodoro technique advocates, alternating 25 minute slices of focused work and 5 minute breaks is quite helpful.
When a slice timer runs out, the slice count of the currently selected task is incremented by one.
I'm not a disciplined practitioner of Pomodoro in general, and find it a bit heavy on rules. This thing is just a tool that I use to support my own workflow, and in no way claim that it represents the Pomodoro approach.
There is (usually) a demo checkout of this app at http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/cetriolo/
