Amazing app
Like title
Super helpful even at free level
This app does a great job at helping me do just like its name: stay focused on my to-dos! I’ve used other Pomodoro timer apps before to help with my ADHD brain but this is now my daily go to. It gives me extra focus to stay on track since I know it’s only for 25 minute sprints and I’ll get a quick break in between. I try to get up in the 5 minute breaks and move or go to the bathroom or send a text to a friend etc. This app also does a good job of keeping it very functional even at the free level which I use. I appreciate that, and I have found little premium features that would be nice to have, so some day I might even get it together and upgrade.

Good for focusing
It is a good app with minimum distractions. It would be good to change the timing as a new feature.
Great for school work
This app was recommended by the university to help focus, especially if it is online.
So helpful
I really find this helps me focus on my tasks and helps my ADHD
ADHD - Incredibly Helpful
(I’m about to launch into a longish example of a typical day. Skip to the next to last paragraph if you’d like).
I have a very hard time focusing on one task. I sit to balance the checkbook and I notice the cat’s food bowls are empty. As I go get cat food, I notice that the cat food bag is nearly empty. I get my phone to put cat food on my phone’s grocery list. Oh, my sister texted and is having a rough day. I start to message her back. If you have ADHD you can probably relate. (BTW- I forgot about the checkbook and the cats didn’t get fed.)
How Focus To-Do helps me. I want to balance my checkbook. I start my 25 minute focus timer. As I work, I think of the cat’s food bowl and several other tasks. I write those down and think, “I’ll do those on my breaks.” On the breaks, do those things. I feel a lot more relaxed and a more in control. Because of ADHD “time blindness,” I often underestimate the time needed to complete a task!
For me, Focus To-Do Timer is a Godsend.

Great App
Thank you for creating such a powerful and fantastic focus app. I have been using it for several years now and have proudly purchased the lifetime license.
Based on my experience, I have 4 feature suggestions that I believe would significantly enhance the app's performance and user experience. Here are my thoughts:
1. Custom Date Range for Reports: Currently, users cannot select a custom period in the report section and are limited to the app's predefined periods. When I need to review a specific timeframe, I have to manually navigate through days and sum up the hours myself.
2. Project-Specific Reports: There is currently no option to filter reports by a specific project; it displays all active projects together. Having a dedicated filter for individual projects would be incredibly helpful.
3. Customizable Start Day of the Week: It is currently impossible for users to change the start day of the week to align with their local or personal schedule.
4. Hourly Rate & Billable Tracking: It would be amazing if we could mark projects as "billable" or "non-billable" and set a specific hourly or total rate (e.g., $6/hour or $2000 total rate of project). The app could then automatically calculate total earnings for that project within the selected report period.
You are already doing a fantastic job, and implementing these features would take this app to the next level!

Certainly app restrictive…on itself.
Every single time I tap something, I get a pop-up advertisement for premium—one that covers the entire screen. I completely understand the need to get a return on the investment and have the app paid for, but when you can’t even swipe your finger on the phone, it kind of defeats the purpose.
Completely free
Has Task setting feature and functional pomodoro timer with cool settings and themes and it’s all FOR FREE. There hasn’t been an ad or a popup asking for a subscription since I started using the app. I’m yet to explore it more.
A lot of good but buggy
Lots of bugs on the windows app. The phone is better.
Good app
Simple and works as intended. Good value for the money if you buy it.
Clean easy to use app
I really like how clean the interface are. My suggestion is to have a visual “slice” timer countdown instead of digital readout. Because most ADHD people need a visual way to represent time, digital display is not effect.
using for over 2 years
Used this for over 2 years - iphone, macbook, ipad all latest currently using on macbook air m4 with no issues at all amazing piece of software. the only thing which could use an improvement is background pictures for the timer
Buggy
Can’t close my screen without the app restarting the timer. Seems like a major flaw.

I use it daily for work, but one huge issue
Overall, it gets the job done. I love how it can be used across my desktop computer and my iphone. but one huge problem makes me want to find an alternative. The widgets on iPhone are horrendous, especially considering it’s a paid app. One of the widgets is mislabeled, saying it shows time remaining even though it’s actually displaying time used. The biggest offense of all, it doesn’t update. Even if you open it and resting the app, the widget doesn’t update. It’s infuriating to try to take a quick glance at my home screen to see how much time I still have left to work, and it’s off by 3 or 4 hours. Please just give your widgets a quick pass. I love the app, I use it all the time, but the inaccurate and mislabeled widgets make it do more harm than sometimes.

Sem integrações
Sempre usei o Focus, mas ultimamente ele não tem avisado o término dos pomodoros (fica silencioso) e depois de todo esse tempo ainda não tem integração com nenhum serviço (Todoist, Fantastical, Google, etc). Acabei trocando por outro app, infelizmente…
Incrível uso muito
Melhor parte é poder ter vitalício, foi caro mas uso o app faz 3 anos 🕸️🫡
