Butt Pomodoro - A butt triggered pomodoro timer

Greetings fellow indie hackers!

I run a problem validation platform where recently a user posted Remind me to take break when working from home.

That problem resonated with me and I think it would with many of you as it's common for indie hackers to get hooked up with tasks, forget to take breaks and then end up with burnouts.

The main need gap with current productivity timers are that they have to be started manually each time, which interrupts our focus at best and we forget to start the timer at worst.

How do you all approach this problem?

So, I attempted to solve that with a butt triggered pomodoro timer which can be started without any user action and delivers all the goodness of a pomodoro timer.

If this problem resonates with you and you think this can be a right solution; Feel free to build a commercial product of Butt Pomodoro and I have also prepared a business plan to help you get started.

    Hey Abishek,

    That's a crazy idea, I like it!

    I'd personally wouldn't use it (not sure about the 🍑 part) but good luck! 😂

      Ha ha, thanks!

      Yeah a non contact sensor would be best suited for commercial production, but butt trigger offers better fidelity!
