Retro Pomodoro Timer for Notion
The Retro Pomodoro Timer transforms your Notion dashboard into a nostalgic productivity zone. With warm tones, pixel-style visuals, and vintage color palettes, this timer evokes the charm of analog clocks, 80s tech, and retro desk setups — all while keeping you focused with Pomodoro-style timeboxing.
If you love pixel fonts, cozy themes, or themed Notion dashboards, this one's for you.
🧭 What Is It?
The Retro Pomodoro Timer functions just like a classic Pomodoro tool — offering timed focus intervals and breaks — but wrapped in a nostalgic, analog-style skin. With rotating clock hands, rounded markers, and golden-accented buttons, it adds character to your daily routine.
It’s not just a timer — it’s a vibe.
✅ Use Cases
- 🖥 Themed Dashboards: Perfect for retro-themed Notion layouts, pixel art lovers, or old-school journaling pages.
- 📼 Creative Routine Tracking: Add personality while maintaining your focus.
- 🎮 Gamified Pomodoros: Feels like a productivity minigame when paired with other vintage widgets.
- 📚 Aesthetic Study Setups: Match your study page with warm, analog energy.
🎨 Customization Options
While the retro aesthetic is opinionated, you still get full control over key visuals and behavior.
Editable Settings:
- Focus, Short Break, and Long Break durations
- Clock face, hands, and background colors
- Timer text and border colors
- Start/Reset button design
- Card and footer styling
Dial in the throwback feel — from golden yellows to sepia tones — or blend vintage with modern for a unique twist.
🔁 How It Works
Like every Pomodoro timer in Blocky, this variant supports:
- Custom focus sessions (e.g., 25 minutes)
- Short/long breaks (5–15 minutes)
- Manual start/reset controls
- Real-time countdown and visual feedback
But unlike other variants, it also looks like an old-school desktop timer, complete with rotating minute and second hands.
