Acquacotta

Acquacotta is a professional-grade Pomodoro system designed for users who want to turn their focus history into actionable intelligence. Created by a veteran of NASA and Red Hat, it moves beyond simple timers by treating productivity like a data science project.

Unlike proprietary apps that lock your history in a "black box," Acquacotta uses Google Sheets as your database. Every session is logged in real-time to your own spreadsheet, giving you total data sovereignty and the power to build custom dashboards using native formulas, pivot tables, and AI.

Key Features:

• Purely Open Source: 100% FOSS with a pledge to never commercialize or charge for features.
• Automated Auditing: Real-time sync to your personal Google Cloud/Sheets.
• Offline-First Architecture: Uses a local SQLite cache for a lightning-fast UI that works without a connection.
• Acoustic Focus Mode: Optional "60 Minutes" style ticking sound that acts as a Pavlovian trigger for flow states.
• Physical Timer Support: Dedicated mode to instantly log sessions from tactile hardware (like Hexagon timers).
• Burnout Prevention: Visual Daily Minute Goals to help you maintain a sustainable, high-performance pace.

Acquacotta is built for engineers, managers, and "Quantified Self" enthusiasts who want to own their data and automate the "admin of productivity."
