## What is Pomodoro Timer?

Mute distractions only when you're focusing.

Minimal Pomodoro Timer is a Pomodoro timer built around one promise: turn off distractions only while you're focusing. Screen Time integration blocks selected apps and websites during focus sessions. Live Activity, Dynamic Island, and StandBy keep your progress visible without unlocking your phone.

==================

- Deep work blocks at the office
- Exam prep and certification study
- Cutting yourself off from social media for an hour

Tap to switch between Work and Break. Swipe up/down to change Work duration, swipe left/right for Break - no settings menu needed.

[Screen Time-based blocking (Pro)]
Block selected apps and websites only during focus sessions. Pause / Break / Reset automatically lifts the block, so social media is back during breaks. Pro unlocks unlimited app blocking and category-level rules.

[Live Activity / Dynamic Island]
