In their own words
Pomello
Pomello turns Trello cards into timed Pomodoro tasks. After connecting a Trello account, it can read and modify cards; by default, it adds a pomodoro count to titles, records events in comments, and tracks productivity statistics. These behaviors can be customized by board or list. Users can also create Trello tasks in Pomello and set the board, list, title, description, and labels. The timer uses timed intervals, gives short breaks after pomodoros, and switches to a long break after four valid pomodoros. Its Productivity panel shows pomodoros, distractions, and related activity, and requires a Pomello account login. Basic costs nothing, while Premium costs $20 a year. Both plans list unlimited boards and lists, productivity and time tracking, checklist items as tasks, custom timer sounds, and productivity data export. Pomello is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The Android download page says the Android version is coming soon.
