TOMATO / THE FIRST FAIR NINJA APP
A focus timer
that does not
need a monthly
rent.
One thing to do. A little space to do it.
Use it locally. Sync when you want. Pay tiny amounts for the hosted service you actually use.
Local prototype · No account or card.
Hosted sync is planned, not connected.
A LITTLE ROOM TO FOCUS 01 / 01
ONE THING AT A TIME25:00
Start a focus session Your next small beginning.
Focus → take a break → return
Illustration of a ready timer. Open the app to begin.
Tomato is, fundamentally, a timer.
We should make it an excellent timer.
LESS MANAGING. MORE DOING.
Start small. Find your focus.
Then get on with your day.
A successful session can end with you closing the app. Your attention belongs to you.
Give it some time.
Start a focus session. Park a distracting thought for later and return to what you chose.
Take a real break.
Review your time when it helps. No guilt for a quiet day. No email asking where you went.
LOCAL IS YOURS
Your focus does not
need our server.
The local prototype runs its timer, tasks and history in your browser. No account required.
- Keep a copy. Export a JSON workspace backup or your sessions as CSV using “On this device” in the app header.
- Know the limits. First load needs a connection. Offline use depends on caching. Clearing browser storage can erase local data.
- Leave the tab open. Browsers may suspend background pages. A precise alarm with a locked screen is not guaranteed.

A FAIR NINJA PRODUCT
A useful tool.
A fair agreement.
Fair does not mean free. It means sustainable for the people building the software and obviously worth it for you.
Read the manifesto“Local is yours.
Sync is our service.”
We want to get paid for the service you choose. Not because you forgot to cancel. Optional hosted sync and a shared prepaid wallet are the plan.
No fake urgency.
No emotional blackmail.BRAVE BEAVER APPROVES THE INTENTION.
ROOM TO GROW / PLANNED
Bring your own workflow.
Task adapters, calendars, API access, MCP and webhooks are being explored. These are connection designs; they do not connect accounts or send data.
For now, Tomato can simply be your timer.
BEFORE YOU SETTLE IN
A few straight answers.
Do I need an account or a card?
No. Open the local prototype and start a session. The sample workspace is separate from your own workspace and contains fictional tasks and history.
Where is my data?
The prototype stores your work in this browser. Clearing browser storage can remove it. Use the data panel to export a JSON backup or your sessions as CSV. Hosted sync is not connected.
What works offline?
Once the prototype is loaded and cached, its timer, local tasks and local history can work without the server. Your first visit needs a connection. Browser storage is not a backup.
Will the alarm ring with my phone locked?
A browser may suspend a background page. The timer recovers elapsed time when you return, but a precise alarm on a locked screen is not guaranteed. Use an open desktop browser for this prototype.
Can I connect my task manager or an AI assistant?
The Connect screens explore adapters, API access, MCP and webhooks. They are design previews, not live connections. Tomato can also be used as a timer with no tasks at all.
How much will hosted sync cost?
Hosted sync is paid from your prepaid chip balance — 1 USD = 100 chips, in packs of 500 / 1,000 or 2,500. No default auto-top-up. Local focus sessions never require payment.
NO BIG LIFE PROMISE. JUST A SMALL BEGINNING.
One thing.
Then the next.
Open the timer. Choose what deserves your attention.
