A to do list app with real-time iPhone and web sync

Podomodo is a to do list app with real-time iPhone and web sync. Add a task in the web app on your laptop and it appears on your iPhone right away; check one off on your phone and it disappears from your browser. Your tasks, priority group, focus timer and habits are available in both places.

So you can plan at your desk and act on the go, without emailing yourself notes or keeping two lists.

Why you need your to-do list on phone and computer

Tasks don't arrive on a schedule, or on one device. Some come up while you're at your desk, deep in email. Others show up in the grocery store, on a walk or in a meeting where your laptop is closed. If your list only lives in one place, the other half of your thoughts ends up in notes apps, screenshots and sticky notes.

A list that's split across tools is a list you can't trust. And a list you can't trust is one you stop using.

There's also a practical difference between devices. A keyboard is better for a long brain dump or a weekly review. A phone is better for capturing a quick thought and checking things off as you go.

How Podomodo syncs tasks between devices

1. Install the iPhone app from the App Store and sign in with Apple, Google or email.
2. Open the web app at podomodo.com/app in your browser on any computer.
3. Sign in with the same account. Your tasks appear right away.
4. Work wherever you are. Add, edit, prioritize and check off tasks on either device.
5. See changes in real time. Updates sync between iPhone and web as you make them.
6. Go offline when you need to. Podomodo is offline-first: it keeps working without a connection and syncs your changes later.

There's nothing to configure and no export or import. It's one list, shown in two places.

What's available on iPhone and the web

Compared with a typical phone-only to-do app, the difference is simple: you get the same list in a full browser window, with a real keyboard for long brain dumps and a focus timer that can run on your desk without your phone in sight.

To be clear about limits: Podomodo is not available on Android, iPad (as a native app), Mac (as a native app), Apple Watch or as a widget. If you need a native app on every one of those platforms, a cross-platform task manager will serve you better. Our best to-do list apps for iPhone roundup includes some.

Pomodoro timer on web and iPhone

The pomodoro timer works the same way in both places: pick tasks into your focus order, set the length on the rainbow dial (1 minute to 10 hours, 30 minutes by default) and start. On iPhone, the screen stays awake during a session and a notification fires when time is up.

Running the timer in a browser tab is handy when you're working at a computer all day and don't want your phone on the desk as a distraction. Because tasks sync, anything you check off during a session in the browser is also done on your phone.

A simple routine across two devices

Here's one way to split the work between your computer and your phone:

• Start of the workday, on your computer: open the web app and brain dump everything new. Typing on a keyboard makes a long dump fast.
• Let AI sort it: tap Reorder if the list needs a fresh order.
• Pick today's priorities: select the tasks that matter and move them into the gold group.
• Focus in the browser: run focus sessions in a tab while you work.
• Away from the desk, on your iPhone: capture new thoughts as they come up and check off errands on the way home.

The next morning, everything you added on your phone is already waiting in the browser.

Who iPhone and web sync is for

Remote workers

If you spend the day at a laptop, the web app keeps your list one tab away, and the iPhone app covers everything after you close the lid. See Podomodo for remote work.

Developers and people who live in the browser

Capture a task between commits without reaching for your phone, then check it off from anywhere. See Podomodo for developers.

Students

Plan your study sessions on your laptop, then take the list with you to class or the library on your phone.

How sync fits with the rest of Podomodo

Sync is what makes Podomodo's daily loop work across your day: brain dump on a keyboard, let the AI task organizer group and order everything, pin priorities, then focus on whichever device is in front of you. Your account is private: no ads, no tracking and no data selling. You can also delete your account from inside the app at any time.
