+# Pomodoro Mate: Product Requirements Document
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Date:** April 2026
+**Status:** Draft
+**Author:** Product Team
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Pomodoro Mate is an open-source, cross-platform Pomodoro timer that combines **authentic Pomodoro methodology** with **ADHD-aware design** and **outcome-oriented gamification**. It targets knowledge workers, students, and particularly users with focus challenges who are dissatisfied with basic timers that don't build lasting habits.
+
+### The Problem
+
+The Pomodoro timer market has 50+ apps, yet none adequately serve users who need:
+1. **True Pomodoro methodology** — Most apps are just timers, ignoring Francesco Cirillo's five-phase process (planning, tracking, recording, processing, visualizing)
+2. **ADHD-aware design** — No major tool is designed from the ground up for executive function challenges; traditional Pomodoro fails 60-70% of ADHD users within the first month
+3. **Outcome-focused gamification** — Existing gamification (Forest, Habitica) rewards output (sessions completed) not outcomes (sustainable habits, personal growth)
+
+### The Solution
+
+Pomodoro Mate fills the white space at the intersection of:
+- **Methodology-complete** Pomodoro implementation
+- **ADHD-first** design philosophy
+- **Outcome-oriented** gamification that builds identity, not just points
+- **Privacy-first**, open-source, cross-platform architecture
+
+### Target Launch
+
+- **MVP (Phase 1):** 8 weeks — Web PWA with core timer, task selection, and basic gamification
+- **Phase 2:** 12 weeks — macOS/iOS native apps with advanced features
+- **Phase 3:** 16 weeks — Developer integrations (GitHub, Linear) and team features
+
+---
+
+## 1. Product Vision
+
+### 1.1 Vision Statement
+
+**For** knowledge workers and students with focus challenges (particularly those with ADHD traits), **who** are dissatisfied with basic timers that don't build lasting habits, **Pomodoro Mate** is the only open-source Pomodoro tool that combines true Pomodoro methodology with ADHD-aware design and outcome-oriented gamification — **helping you** become a more focused person, not just complete more sessions.
+
+### 1.2 Core Differentiators
+
+| Differentiator | Description | Why Competitors Can't Easily Copy |
+|----------------|-------------|-----------------------------------|
+| **Methodology-Complete** | Implements all six steps and five phases of Cirillo's technique | Requires deep integration between timer, tasks, analytics, and AI |
+| **ADHD-First Design** | Every feature filtered through: "Does this reduce executive function burden?" | Requires rethinking every interaction from scratch |
+| **Outcome Gamification** | Rewards sustainable habits and personal growth, not session counts | Requires measuring different metrics and designing different mechanics |
+| **Open Source + Privacy** | Local-first, optional E2E sync, no tracking | Trust differentiator, community contributions |
+
+### 1.3 Success Metrics
+
+| Timeframe | Metric | Target |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| **6 months** | Active users | 1,000+ |
+| **6 months** | Pro conversion | 5% |
+| **12 months** | Active users | 5,000+ |
+| **12 months** | GitHub stars | 500+ |
+| **24 months** | Active users | 20,000+ |
+| **24 months** | Revenue sustainability | Break-even |
+

+---
+
+### 4.4 Gamification System
+
+#### 4.4.1 Philosophy: Outcome Over Output
+
+**Core Principle:** Reward sustainable habits and identity formation, not session counts.
+
+| Output Metrics (Avoid) | Outcome Metrics (Embrace) |
+|------------------------|---------------------------|
+| Sessions completed | Consistency rhythm development |
+| Total hours focused | Focus quality improvement |
+| Streak days | Recovery after breaks |
+| Points accumulated | Identity evolution ("Deep Worker") |
+
+#### 4.4.2 Growth Metaphor: The Garden
+
+**P0 - MVP**
+
+A personal garden that grows as you develop sustainable focus habits:
+
+| Element | Description | Unlock |
+|---------|-------------|--------|
+| Garden plot | Personal visual space | Default |
+| Plants | Grow with consistent sessions | Session completion |
+| Garden expansion | More space for variety | Weekly consistency |
+| Seasonal themes | Visual variety | Time-based |
+
+**Key Design Principles:**
+- **Growth only, never decay** — Plants don't die if you miss a day
+- **Accumulation, not subtraction** — Everything you build persists
+- **Ambient, not demanding** — Garden is background, not gameplay loop
+
+#### 4.4.3 Identity-Based Progression
+
+**P1 - Post-MVP**
+
+| Level | Title | Unlocked By |
+|-------|-------|-------------|
+| 1 | Seedling | Complete onboarding |
+| 2 | Sprout | 5 consistent days |
+| 3 | Gardener | 2 weeks of practice |
+| 4 | Cultivator | Demonstrate estimation accuracy |
+| 5 | Deep Worker | 30 days of consistent practice |
+| 6 | Focus Master | Maintain habits for 90 days |
+
+**Key Principle:** These are identity labels, not XP levels. They reflect who you're becoming, not points accumulated.
+
+#### 4.4.4 Self-Defined Reward Shop
+
+**P1 - Post-MVP**
+
+Users define their own rewards:
+
+| Reward Type | Example |
+|-------------|---------|
+| Break activities | "15 min walk" |
+| Entertainment | "Watch one episode" |
+| Treats | "Get coffee" |
+| Experiences | "Weekend trip after 30 days" |
+
+**Mechanism:**
+1. User defines rewards with "cost" in focus hours
+2. System tracks progress toward rewards
+3. User "redeems" when earned
+4. No system-defined rewards (avoid generic badges)
+
+#### 4.4.5 Social Features (Cooperative, Not Competitive)
+
+**P2 - Future**
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Accountability partners | Paired progress sharing |
+| Body doubling | Virtual presence during sessions |
+| Team challenges | Cooperative (not competitive) goals |
+| Focus rooms | Synchronized team Pomodoros |
+
+**Anti-Patterns to Avoid:**

+| Encouragement | "You've improved your consistency 20% this month" |
+| Gentle suggestions | "Consider shorter sessions after lunch" |
+

+
+No task selection, no configuration. Just start.
+
+#### 6.2.2 Planned Session Flow
+
+```
+Open App → View Tasks → Select Task → Start Timer
+```
+
+#### 6.2.3 Task Estimation Flow
+
+```

+```
+
+Post-session: "You estimated 3, used 4. Update estimate?"
+
+### 6.3 Visual Design
+
+**Aesthetic:** Modern, calm, premium
+
+| Element | Specification |
