Feature

It would be really nice to be able to write a to do list and be able to tick it off in the app.

Subscription makes studying harder

I am a student and i have an iPad at my mom's, but not at my dad's. I have an apple watch but i cant pay for the subscription and i would really want to be able to sync my pomo on both devices

Feature suggestions - ladder pomodoro cycle, Pause option, color coded tomatoes, goal for day

I want to create a ladder style pomodoro cycle .. starting from 5 mins, break, 10 mins, break…. Like that 5, 10,15,20,25,30 mins … this is one cycle. This ladder pomodoro cycle helps with ADHD and task initiation.

Please add a pause/resume option to the timer for when something comes up.

I love the home-page tomato animation. It would be great if each tag had its own tomato color so we can see which tags we used most. This should be optional, users could choose between the current single-color tomatoes or color-coded ones. It would also be helpful if tags could have custom colors via a color picker, since some users prefer pastel tones while others like brighter colors. Also want a goal for day.

Great. Cat

Please enable alerts when app open on watch!

This is an excellent app. The design is cute without being distracting. But I wish the app still alerted you to the end of a session when it’s open on Watch! I use it on my watch to avoid picking up my phone, but because of the watch’s automatic wake system, if I have it open and happen to turn my wrist to where it wakes, the alert won’t go off (I guess the app assumes I’m looking at my watch, but I’m not). This makes me miss the ends of sessions a lot.

Don’t let mac goto sleep/lock screen when pomodoro is active & FFS show the tag name in focus view

I will turn this review up to five stars when these features are added, two stars for each feature.

(macOS) Feature 1: I want my Mac not to go to sleep or lock the screen when I am focussing or a pomodoro is active. Can make this optional but give the user an option to turn it on.

(macOS, iOS, iPadOS) Feature 2: Sometimes when I am in a hurry I sometimes select the wrong tag and start my pomodoro. Currently I have to go to my phone lock screen to see if started the right pomodoro.

The tag name should be visible not just when starting to focus but during focus on the countdown screen. WatchOS focus screen can contine to stay as it is currently.

Great app

So cute, so easy, love this app so so much!

不是吧不是也

你是在

Fantastic value!!

Excellent user interface, nice and simple, and can even be simplified further if the user desires. I love that I can interact with the pomos once I have earned them. The lifetime package price of $25 felt reasonable and I see myself using this often. As someone with adhd, this has really helped me start tasks and keep with them.

One thing I wish the app had is an additional “finished early” option to stop a pomo, so I can end my focus early without “abandoning” a pomo if a task took less time than I expected and set the focus timer for.

Almost perfect…

Love the app, and the lifetime membership option. The only thing that would make it perfect, the ability to pick custom sounds during the focus time. I like hearing a ticking sound during my focus time. The current rain option is too distracting for me.

Beautiful interface, great analytics

Absolutely fantastic app. I’ve used homegrown timers for Pomodoro for years because other apps either forced a too-strict interface or completely lacked a system for reflection of time spent. This nails both.

Feature request:
There are no shortcuts available for the app, would be great to trigger a Pomodoro session from shortcuts. This would be a great integration point for doing other tasks when a session starts (“Start session” -> Trigger a Pomodoro timer with pre-selected tag, turn on Focus Firewall, mark a reminder related to the session with some tag, note, completed status, etc.)

My use case is I use shortcuts as the entrypoint for most functionality in my phone (Main Menu with all my functions, triggered by the action button.) I do this to avoid getting sucked in by distracting apps on my phone. Have to think that other productivity-minded folks are doing similar things.

So cute and motivational!

I love the little tomatoes you collect. I wish there was an option to change their colors—that could be even cuter!

Great UI and well built pomodoro

Hi, I just started using the app and like it so far. It would be great if there is a daily and weekly ranking maybe also monthly as well based region and also option to see global as well.

Also ability to do group pomodoro with friends and other users around the world ( A good way to stay motivated)

A motivation toggle that briefly shows a motivation qoute when starting the pomodoro then disappears as well as add your own quotes. Ability to like a qoute so it shows up more often.


Thanks!

Allow trim the view of calendar please

Very annoying it’s showing the entire day and l need to scroll through a lot of blank spaces which is sleep time. Others are perfect.

Game changer

The little tomatoes and subtle vibrating feature are so small but make such a big difference in my motivation.

Almost five star!

Amazing app! The rain sounds are an awesome addition! As someone who doesn’t have premium, I still enjoy using this app a lot! The premium features are all great additions and not essential to use! <3

Perfect little focus tool

I really like the simple interface without unnecessary bells and whistles

SIMPLE POMODORO

It is simply a timer and a tomato collector! No quests. No distractions. I love the simplicity, reminding me what I need to focus on, which is my homework/work. I have been using this app since freshman in college, and I am entering my senior year, planning to still use the app.

Best Pomo App Ever

I’ve been using this app for years. The premium version is worth it because of all of the extra features. The app has increased my productivity in my academic work, and personal life. In addition, there are periodic updates that improve the apps, usability and function. Honestly, the app just keeps getting better and better.
