I like it

I love the aesthetic of the app, I can’t wait to see an Apple Watch app for it so I don’t have to keep checking my phone how long is left. Hope to see other features in the future like reminders, daily scheduling etc.

Good job Dev, keep going!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We’re excited to let you know that our Apple Watch version is almost ready to launch—we’ve nearly completed all the design and development work. The best part is that it will be able to run independently from your phone, with data automatically syncing to your phone via iCloud. As for the Reminder and Schedule features you mentioned, we’d love to hear more details about what you’re looking for. You can share your ideas with us through the App Store, email, or social media. We’re planning to integrate these features with our Calendar view, and our goal is to make them as user-friendly and simple as possible. Once again, thank you for your feedback and for being part of our journey. We’re looking forward to bringing these updates to life!

Great app, have some feedback..

Seems like a great app and gets the job done, however I have some feedback:

I could be misunderstanding but when selecting the desired number of focus sessions, I have to select ‘3’ in order to get 4 focus sessions before the long break, and likewise when selecting ‘4’ I have to complete 5 before getting a long break. This doesn’t seem right?

I would like it if there was an option to not have my tomatoes removed on the home page after a week - it would be kind of cool to be able to collect them forever, perhaps offering different colour tomatoes for larger blocks of time (as eventually screen space would just fill up).

App whitelist feature doesn’t seem to work, in the sense that none of my other apps are blocked (I have nothing added to the whitelist and the feature is enabled). It worked the first time but not after that.

I would like the option to just not have a long break but instead just have the study session end, since most times I am only doing one block of focus sessions per day.

Where did my tomatoes go

I want to see all of my tomatoes on my screen, no matter the week or month.

Love it

Love the simplicity of the app and ease of use. Would love the ability to manually add/edit pomodoros. After a break, i can forget to hit the start button and i don’t want to start a pomodoro that will off set my timing/cycle, so I skip it, but then my working hours aren’t all tracked.

New feature requested

Hi can you include an option to make Sunday as the beginning of the week?

Delightful and frankly, refreshing app

I’m a university student currently doing my third year, and when I tell you I have tried every focus app on the planet I’ve really tried all of them. What excited me about other apps really blinded me to their lack of functionality. This app trumps them all with no hesitation, it has been the only one that I have used consistently and actually excites me to complete my work (and I am a MASSIVE procrastinator, even in my third year of uni). I have used it now for a year and have been convinced to purchase the premium version — and I really don’t subscribe to things if they haven’t fully convinced me. But this app accomplishes so much more than a simple timer. The minimalist but cute design, and also the fact that its run by developers that have the user in mind by allowing the necessary features to be free. I am really blown away! Another point is the simple encouragement it offers you, the functions are all there and wonderfully designed. It just delights you in ways other apps don’t. And it’s refreshing to find an app that isn’t overwhelming or overstimulating, that constantly pesters you to buy another version. This app has been associated in my mind with serenity and calmness — exactly what i want when i need to study. Anyway! Super impressed and excited to see what other updates the developers come up with!! Keep up the awesome work <333

Suggesting additional features for your app

The app could recommend what activity the user would be doing during the 5 minute break. I got the idea from the spin the wheel challenge in the app “Happier.” I also like the flashlight feature in the app “focus noodles.” It serves as visual reminder to stay on task and also a good way to stay out of rabbit holes. This app has superior performance in terms of the timer function and data collected, but there is still room for improvement. Also I love my little tomatoes.

Really helps me focus

I have been using this for my last semesters in nursing school because I have a addiction to scrolling through my phone, there is a happiness collecting little tomatoes that gives me a small amount of motivation to put my phone down and work. The only thing I wish is the different tags would give me different color tomatoes. So as they collect, I can see exactly how many tomatoes I spend with each subject.

Good simple pomadoro app

Writing this review to suggest features.

The customization options are confusing. What exactly does “focus session” mean? Is that the number of pomodoros before a long break? It doesn’t seem so.

I’d like a more clear way to see how many pomodoros have gone by so I know when the long break is coming. I like seeing all the tomatoes on the screen but since they’re are cumulative they don’t help in this regard.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to reset the number of pomodoros for the day. Today, I started my sessions thinking I’d work for 4 pomodoros then get my long break, but the app gave me my long break after 3, and I can’t tell why. If there was a “reset” button or at least a clear tracker i could better keep track of my work.

I really like the over all design of this app over other pomodoro trackers, so I hope more features and quality of life fixes come soon.

Simplistic Yet Effective App

Found you guys on Red and I Love the whole aesthetic of the app! Very calming, and not too much distraction from the core of the application: productivity!! It would be great if you could add new features like starting the timer on Apple Watch to syncing it with the phone application!! Or allowing the user to add notes about what happened in the podomoro! Much love

Response from developer

Thank you for the love and support! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the aesthetic and focus-driven design. The Apple Watch version is already available and fully optimized for watchOS 11, so you can start your timer directly from the Watch and keep everything synced. Adding notes to Pomodoro sessions is a great idea, and we’ll definitely consider it for future updates!
