    "why": "Pomodoist organizes tasks across inbox, today, upcoming, projects, timeline, kanban and a priority matrix, starts a Pomodoro session from any task and shows weekly focus-time trends in built-in reports. Built in Flutter/Dart, it offers the same workspace on macOS, iOS/iPadOS, Linux, Windows and the web (app.pomodoist.com), with a Docker Compose self-hosting guide covering PostgreSQL, Auth, REST and Realtime. The README lists Android among supported platforms, but the official site shows it as planned for September–October 2026.",
    "take": "Todo apps with a Pomodoro timer are common; what sets this one apart is that the server is AGPL too and comes up with one Docker Compose run.",
    "build": [
      "Point an MCP client at your own instance's endpoint (/functions/v1/pomodoist-mcp) so an AI assistant can read and add your tasks. The repository also includes the Telegram Mini App and Chrome extension code, which you can adapt for your own use."
