Increased focus and productivity
I started using this app in law school - between hating specific courses, feeling overwhelmed with assignments, chronic procrastination AND my ADHD, this app allowed me to focus for manageable periods, working at my own pace and checking of tasks as I powered through. I’ve recommended it to my friends and family and those who followed suit have raved about the app too! I will definitely continue to use it for years to come.Show lessFatenwolf
Better than any other of the “free” apps
I had to scroll a little more to find this app, when it really should be at the top of the list. All of the other focus apps I’ve downloaded for “free” aren’t technically as advertised, since they keep bugging me to GO PRO. This app on the other hand does exactly what you want: simple to use, professional design, and not one annoying ad. Meant to allow you to focus on your work without ANY distractions!!!Show lessFerrari :D
Tasklist was useful
I was suddenly surprised to see the tasklist gone. Maybe it was for stability reason but tasklist was very useful. Not any other apps had the simplicity of those lists as that of emphasis.
I hope it comes back or some kind of switch for that.
Overall, I’m grateful to the developer and I would still give it a 5 starShow lessNabin Dhakal76
I never write reviews but this app is 10/10
I have ADHD and working in a focused way for long periods can be really tough. Enter pomodoros: it’s such a great way to get things done but it requires a good tracker. This is hands down the best one (and free?) that I’ve found.
Simple interface, a VISUAL timer (not numbers, which are harder to make concrete as they’re ticking down) that allows you to see how much time is left to motivate yourself without getting anxious with a countdown clock.
Even options to make beautiful text checklists and color customization. Download this now!Show lessAppuser133
The alert tones don’t work
I’m not sure if this is just my phone, but I would like to hear the tone go off when the work period is over or break period. For some reason, the tone doesn’t sound even though the notification appears on screen. Otherwise, I love this app. So easy to use & set up, such a simple & pleasant interface, & overall a great tool to have in your toolbox for days when sitting down to do work feels daunting.Show lessbeccarab
Used for a month and already improvement.
[Background info, feel free to skip:
• I am a 15 year old girl
• I use the timer for school homework, reading and taking notes on self improvement and psychology related books, learning a 2nd language, and sometimes singing
• I have only really used the pomodoro timer so far
It has already helped me to get a lot more work done, in fact, I’m using the timer right now.
One thing I was hesitant at first about the pomodoro technique was the 5 minute breaks that occur after every 25 minute session. At first I thought they were disruptive to my flow, but I’ve come to realize they prevent overly long breaks and burnout. Think of it this way — lets say it’s been a few hours after lunch and a person starts to feel a tad hungry. They may hold off on eating, thinking they’re avoiding unnecessary calories, but then they end up overeating when they finally do allow themselves to because of the intense hunger. Meanwhile they could have simply had a moderate meal earlier and be just as full.
I highly suggest this technique to anyone, and this timer is perfect for it.
I also appreciate its simple but still pleasant layout, the choice of different colors, and how all of the sessions and breaks (long & short) are customizable in both duration and amount.Show lessSketchytide
I feel very productive
This app is the best pomodoro app I have tried yet! It is very customizable and has improved my grades. I also have been inspired to study more. I think that if you are unsure about getting this app and are reading this rn, I recommend you should try it and see if it works for you 😋ksidddndkwkwoe
THIS IS THE BEST
I have had 0 motivation the past month so I decided to try a timer app because the one that comes with apple devices never seems to have an impact on my productivity. I can assure you this works A LOt. I can’t even make this up but i genuinely feel so so motivated !!!🌞🌻✨💛
A few suggestions
Nice looking timer and promising statistics functionality. Biggest problems are related to the markdown-style editor. First, clicking the title of the template document unexpectedly closes the app and means the template cannot be easily deleted. Second, it’s not possible to reorder lists of folders or documents. They just get added to the top of the existing list and stay there until deleted. Finally, deleting individual elements from the editor is somewhat undiscoverable, but once you know to scroll to the right horizontally on the keyboard toolbar after long pressing the element it’s not too bad.Show lessAzderson
Major problem with task function
The app itself is great and I love its minimal interface. The only problem I have is the task function. Every time I add a new task and press x, the task is gone when I go back to the task page. The tasks don’t save for some reason. Also, when I press the 2 horizontal gray bars at the top of the task page, the app crashes. I tried relog into the app a few times but the problem remains. I’m not sure if this is a glitch on my end but I hope it can be fixed soon.
Besides the task page, I highly enjoyed the timer and the app’s simplistic design.Show lessYu-Hwa
