Hi everyone,
I’m Baptiste, an indie developer. I recently started working on a new Pomodoro timer app for iPhone (then iPad, Apple Watch and Mac), mostly because as a heavy Pomodoro user I was frustrated with every existing solutions. While doing my research on these apps, I also realized there’s very little attention given to accessiblity in these apps. My initial impulsion for doing this app is that I think I can do a better job making a distraction free, minimalist, easy to use and free basic Pomodoro app (only additional features or themes will require to pay for it but all Pomodoro feature will be 100% free and ads free). Following this philosophy I believe this app should be user-friendly for as many people as possible, including VoiceOver, Dynamic Text Size, Voice Control and other accessibility features users.
To help guide my development, I’ve put together a 5 minutes questionnaire to better understand users needs, preferences, and frustrations with existing productivity apps. If you use Pomodoro timers, accessibility features (like VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, or others), or are simply interested in productivity tools that work for everyone, I’d really love to hear from you.
Here’s the questionnaire link
Feel free to contact me here or in DM to add any suggestions, tips, or examples of great accessibility in timer/productivity apps that could help me do a better job.
Have a great day!
Best, Baptiste
