#Pomodoro & Habit Tracking

Aino LifeOS has a built-in Pomodoro timer and habit tracking features. This guide shows how to use them to manage your time and track habits.

#Using the Pomodoro Timer

#Start a Pomodoro

1. Open the task inbox and select a task to focus on
2. Click the Pomodoro button next to the task
3. The timer starts counting down (default 25 minutes)
4. Focus on your work until the timer ends
5. A chime signals the start of break time

#Work-Break Rhythm

The Pomodoro timer automatically alternates between work and breaks:

A sound alert and optional desktop notification play when each phase ends.

#Customize Pomodoro Settings

#View Pomodoro Records

This is the biggest difference between Aino LifeOS's Pomodoro and standalone apps — completed pomodoros are automatically recorded in your daily notes:

• Start and end times
• Associated task name
• Focus duration

Review your daily focus history in your daily notes.

#Tracking Habits

#Record Habit Completion

Record habit completion in your daily notes using a specific format. Aino LifeOS automatically recognizes and tallies them.

For example, in your daily note:

- [x] Exercise 30 minutes
- [x] Read 20 pages
- [ ] Meditate 10 minutes

#View the Habit Panel

Open the habit tracking panel with two display modes:

Card mode — One card per habit showing:

• Completion percentage
• Consecutive days completed
• Whether completed today

List mode — Compact list view, suitable when you have many habits.

#View Habit Statistics

Switch time ranges to see statistics:

Statistics charts show:

• Completion rate for each habit
• Longest streak record
• Completion trends over time
