I use the Forest app as my Pomodoro timer. As for the calendar event for deep work, I do that right now because I don't have another way to track it. I don't think you need to sync my deep work events from my gcal to your app -- I think if I have the Pomodoro timer in your app, then the number of sessions per day would serve as my deep work log and that's good enough!

About the sync issues: Will try it on another browser and report back.

Hey Amruta

Right now deepwork.today centres around meetings. We show you potential time left for work today because we know how much time you will be spending in meetings.

We also allow you to decide whether a meeting is relevant and show you meeting tips and analytics.

I understand you are expecting deepwork in terms of focus times but we define it as non-meeting times in your work day.

So, the app functions only if you provide permission to access your calendar events. We will soon release a fix where we set this expectations upfront instead of showing you a loader.

For pomodoro, I have been using Pomotodo for some years now. You can associate a task with the spent Pomo. So, when you complete a task you know how much pomos were spent on it. This helps me in time estimation. Maybe you will like it. It has some analytics too as well.

Thanks.
