Pomodoro app that keeps a log?

I use Pomodoros with some success, but I would really like to be able to easily track how many and when I do them. Is there an app that keeps a log of start time and stop time (if it was stopped prematurely)? Preferably with an easy way to export?

With 'app' you mean software on a phone? Any platform in particular?THelper 2012-12-13T08:33:17.160

Android would be preferable, but on a computer would be okay too.John Salvatier 2012-12-13T20:05:44.140

Technically, Pomodroido stores the state (aborted/completed) and timestamps of every pomodoro you do with the app. But it doesn't display it anywhere.Muz 2012-12-20T03:58:20.870

Hmm, that's pretty interesting, how do you know? Would it be easy to hack it to store that somewhere?John Salvatier 2012-12-20T08:37:09.650

AFAIK there are no Android Pomodoro apps that keep detailed statistics. Most Pomodoro apps I found on Google Play are just basic timers.

I think the app that comes closest to your needs is Pomodoro Master. It keeps track of the total amount of pomodoro's today, this week and this month. There is also a paid version but I'm not sure what the extra's are.

A similar app is Pomodroido, which offers more or less the same as Pomodoro Master but without the month statistic. However, on Google Play it says that they are working on analytics and something called "Pomodoro exportable" (not sure what they mean by it, but maybe export function?).

I haven't tried any Pomodoro software on my computer. From what I've read on this Productivity question it seems like Pomodairo might do the trick? If you're on a Mac, you might also want to look at My Little Pomodoro (paid software)

I use Clockwork Tomato for android and it does exactly what you ask in the expansion pack. The free version is great with a simple interface and keeps a log of how many pomodoros and the time you took on each pomodoro (in case you extend it or stop early) that can be accessed by swiping the screen. It keeps a pretty extensive log so far as I can tell going back a long time. Or, if you need/want to export the logs or have task integration, then you can pay $2.50 for the expansion pack. In the expansion pack, the logs become more detailed (based on which project you are working on), you can have additional profiles, and you can import/export the logs and tasklist to Dropbox. They have a free 10-day trial of the expansion which showed me that I don't need it, because the free version is the best app I have found for my needs, but if you need the export functionality this might be a great option for you.

1I've been using the paid version for a while but couldn't find a way to export the log. It seems that only the list of tasks can be exported. Can you explain me how you did it?matiascelasco 2017-05-14T15:21:33.807

I use http://www.pomodorowebapp.com/ for what you describe... keeping track of how may pomodoros I do on different tasks; it shows progress graphs too :) Unfortunately doesn't work on my android phone when the screen is off, but works in any standard browser.

Marinara Timer keeps a running list of your intervals for you. You get a personal link (that you can share with other team members) and as long as you keep using the same link, it holds on to your history. Full disclosure, this was created by a team at the company I work for.

What I use is kanbanflow.com - a kanban board with a embedded pomodoro timer. That timer has a log that looks something like this:

Worked focused for 25 minutes on "Learn ZCA" without stop. One pomodoro completed 10 December 2014 00:14

Stopped after 5 minutes of work on "Learn ZCA" with reason "Phone call". Sorry, the pomodoro was not completed 9 December 2014 23:20

It provides statistics on interruption causes and also has some API, but I don't know much about that API.

Clockwork Tomato for android seems to have a calendar and an export function, according to the description, but I haven't tried it.
