New: Export Your Pomodoro History as a CSV File

What's new, and where to find it

Scroll to the Focus statistics card below the timer and task list on the pomodoro timer page. The header row that used to have just a "Clear history" button now has two: Export CSV on the left and Clear history on the right. They look similar and sit in the same spot, but they do very different things — export is read-only and non-destructive, while clear resets your stored history to zero.

This is a straightforward addition on top of the stats tracking the tool already had. The daily count, 7-day total, focus-time totals, streak, and 7-day chart all keep working exactly as before; the export button simply gives you a way to take a copy of the underlying data out of the browser and into a file you control.

What's actually inside the exported file

Because the export pulls from data the tool was already recording, there's nothing mysterious in the file: it's the history of completed focus rounds, turned into a portable format. Opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers, a CSV like this generally looks like one row per entry, with columns you can sort, filter, or chart however you like.

The key point is that the export doesn't add new tracking on top of what already existed — it's a delivery mechanism for history that was already being kept in your browser's local storage. If you've been using the timer for a while, your first export should already reflect that full history, not just data recorded going forward.

Using the export without losing your live stats

A natural worry with any export-plus-clear pairing sitting next to each other is accidentally wiping data you meant to keep. That's not how this works: clicking Export CSV only reads what's already stored and writes it to a downloaded file — it does not touch the underlying history at all. Your streak keeps counting, the 7-day chart keeps updating, and today's count stays exactly where it was before you clicked.

A reasonable habit, if you want a longer-term archive than the browser can give you on its own, is to export at the end of each week and drop the file into a folder or a running spreadsheet, then keep using the timer as normal. Because it's a one-click action with no confirmation step, there's very little friction to doing this regularly — it's meant to be a quick top-up to your records, not a separate workflow to manage.

• Weekly habit: export once a week and append the rows to a master spreadsheet if you want a running, multi-month record.
• Before clearing: if you ever plan to use "Clear history" to start fresh, exporting first keeps a copy of what you're about to reset.
• Cross-device: since history is per-browser, exporting from each device you use the timer on is currently the way to bring separate histories together manually.
