## What is Needle · Pomodoro Timer?

Needle is a calm, beautiful Pomodoro timer that helps you spend your time on what matters, one session at a time.

Pick what you want to focus on, set the length, and start. When the time is up, take a real break. That's the whole method, proven for decades.

FOCUS WITHOUT FRICTION
• Set the length on a tape in the middle of the screen, then start in one tap
• Focus Lock adds a few seconds of friction before you can give up early — or, set to Locked, refuses to let you stop until the block ends
• Tag every session: Work, Study, Code, anything you like
• A real alarm at the end of a session that breaks through silent mode and Focus

SOUND AND SCENES TO WORK TO
• A full-screen focus player opens as your session starts
• Quran recitations, free for everyone: choose from up to 14 reciters and listen to all 114 surahs
• Lofi tracks across three moods — Ambient & Zen, Chillhop & Jazz, Late Night — bundled and offline, no account, no streaming; one free track in every mood, the full library with Needle+
• 40 ambient sounds — rain, nature, night, travel and more — to layer, each with its own volume (Needle+)
• Looping video scenes, or none at all

SEE WHERE YOUR TIME GOES
• A day view, a week strip, and a full session timeline
• Build a daily streak and keep it alive
• Set a daily goal that fits your life and watch it fill
• Export every session to CSV whenever you want

ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN
• iPhone, iPad and Mac — on Mac, a compact Liquid Glass timer that lives in the menu bar
• An Apple Watch app that runs sessions on its own
• Control Center tiles
• Start, pause and stop the timer from Spotlight, Siri and Shortcuts

MAKE IT YOURS
• Backgrounds and eight alternate app icons
• Eleven languages
• Dark by design, easy on the eyes at 2am

Needle+ (optional subscription)
The full lofi library and all 40 ambient sounds, unlimited tags and colors, detailed stats and insights, and Live Activity with the Dynamic Island. Family Sharing supported, so one subscription covers your whole family. Monthly or yearly; payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

Your time is your most valuable asset. Spend it on what matters.
