Effective date: August 2, 2026

Welcome to PomoForest. These Terms of Use explain the rules for accessing and using the site, its resources, and its features.

By accessing or using PomoForest, you agree to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the service.

1. Personal productivity use

PomoForest is a browser-based tool for productivity, focus, and personal organization.

You may use the timer, tasks, scenes, sounds, music, and statistics to create concentration routines for studying, work, reading, writing, programming, or other personal, educational, and professional activities.

PomoForest is a support tool. It does not guarantee increased productivity, improved grades, professional performance, health, well-being, perfect organization, or any specific result.

2. The service

PomoForest offers features such as a focus timer, optional tasks, local statistics, visual scenes, ambient sounds, built-in music, and playback of local files or playlists selected by the user.

Some features depend on the browser, device, permissions granted by the user, and availability of the site.

Features may be added, changed, limited, or removed as the project evolves.

3. Permitted use

You may use PomoForest for personal, educational, and professional purposes, including studying, working, organizing tasks, reading, writing, programming, resting, planning routines, and maintaining focus periods.

You may also share links to the public site and screenshots, as long as you do not present PomoForest in a misleading way or as if it were a product created by you.

4. Prohibited use

When using PomoForest, you agree not to:

  • Use the service for illegal, abusive, fraudulent, harmful activities or activities that violate third-party rights.

PomoForest is provided “as is” and “as available”.

There is no guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, always compatible with every browser, available on every device, or accessible at all times.

The project may be updated, modified, restricted, interrupted, or discontinued at any time, with or without prior notice.

Locally stored data may be lost if you clear browser data, switch browsers, use private browsing, change device settings, block permissions, or if browser storage is unavailable.

9. Timer reminders and alerts

PomoForest currently uses local alert sounds and browser-tab title updates when a focus or break period ends. You can disable these reminders in the Customize panel.

PomoForest does not currently request or send browser notifications.

PomoForest does not guarantee that local sounds or browser-tab alerts will work in every browser, device, or operating system configuration.

10. No professional advice

PomoForest is only a productivity and personal organization aid.

The service does not provide medical, psychological, educational, legal, financial, professional, or any other specialized advice.

You are responsible for deciding how to use the application in your routine and for seeking professional guidance when necessary.

11. Children and teenagers

PomoForest is a general productivity, focus, and personal organization tool. The service is not specifically directed to children and was not designed to intentionally collect personal data from children or teenagers.

If children or teenagers use PomoForest, we recommend that this happen with guidance and supervision from parents or legal guardians.

The user must not enter passwords, personal documents, payment information, health data, confidential school data, or any other sensitive information in tasks, categories, feedback messages, or other site fields.

When applicable, PomoForest will observe rules related to the protection of children and teenagers, privacy, and personal data protection, including Brazilian laws and other rules applicable in different regions.
