## What is Ketchup?

Ketchup is a focused, calm Pomodoro timer. Start a session, do the work, take the break. That's it.

• Four-session Pomodoro cycle with customisable focus and break lengths
• Dynamic Island and Lock Screen live updates, so you always know where you are
• Soft audio cues at the start and end of each session
• Local notifications if you prefer to step away from the app
• Tracks sessions per cycle with a clean, at-a-glance progress view
• Works entirely on your device — no account, no network, no analytics

Designed for writers, engineers, designers, and anyone who values uninterrupted blocks of time. Ketchup stays out of the way: one tap to start, one tap to pause, and the rest of your phone quietly behaves.

Privacy-first by default. Ketchup collects nothing. Settings live on your device and never leave it. No sign-in. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. What you focus on is your business.

Focus. Break. Repeat.
