Do you want to focus better? Use this
This app is a really good balance of simplicity and features. It provides a clear and simple way to set timers and track focus sessions, which is the core. But it also then has enough features and customisability to make that work really well, including subtle cues when you’re in the flow and go past the end of your timer and want to keep working, and support to help focus better. Bottom line: I get a lot more done now that I’m using the app, which is the key thing. Recommended.

Really helps productivity
I find this app really genuinely useful. It has just the right balance of features and simplicity - it doesn’t get in the way of doing work, but has lots of helpful features and customisation. For example, if I’m in the flow and keep working at the end of a session, it prompts me subtly but lets me keep working and just tracks the time, which is ideal. And my productivity has really improved using it, which is the key test!

Great app
Just started to use it and already feel like it’s helping with my focus.
I never rate anything …
This might be one of the most under-recognized apps on the app store. If you’re looking for a focus timer, look no further, this is the one. Install now.
couldn't even set it up
I couldn't even set it up. I couldn't expand the window large enough to see the next button on the bottom even at highest resolution. neither could I tab to it or hit enter.
Very useful
Very useful too. I would strongly recommend to improve your focus.
Has a bit of a learning curve, but so worth it!
Absolutely adore this app. A little bit complicated with all its settings, but it’s absolutely the best productivity tool out there.
Definitely increased my focus…
I love this app. I’m not using any of the paid features even so it has improved my focus immeasurably…but the reason I’m using was for it’s iOS integration which is supposed to show the timer on my iPhone or iPad as well as my Mac (primary machine I use it on) however on iPhone at least it doesn’t cancel old timers even after I’ve marked the session as finished. If I don three sessions in a row I have three timers running on my phone all with the wrong times on them! Not a deal breaker but definitely needs a fix before I pay for a subscription.

Very Useful!
Great app. There’s no annoying ads or subscriptions that lock off half the good stuff on the app. Helps me keep focussed and I like how I can minimise it so it just has a little clock with how much time I have left at the bottom of my screen.
Best app for the market
I genuinely never review but this app is way too good, I’ll be honest, I had low expectations but damn have this event blown right away. As a dev myself I can definitely see the hard work put into this
Unbelievably useful tool!
I honestly can’t imagine managing both my professional & personal life with such ease without Session. Having recently been diagnosed with ASD & ADHD following a massive burnout, Session has allowed me to get back on my feet, breaking tasks into smaller chunks with breaks - and being able to track and identify productivity trends etc. Love this app! Thank you Philip!

ADHD lifesaver!
Best app ever for productivity. I love that it shows u how much u have done in a day! The data is rewarding to see and helps you stay on motivated
4 out of 5
Minus star because every time I start the timer with a named session, it won't show on the menu bar if I have other open windows. Would be better if it was top most overlay.
changed my life
I have ADHD, and I’ve tried numerous tools, apps, websites, and more to help me manage my focus. However, most of them didn’t work because they either oversimplified my focus, did the bare minimum, or added features that made my focus and overall well-being worse.
On the other hand, the App session offer is incredibly customizable for me, particularly the website blocker. The notifications reminded me that I had paused, the website blocker, and the Apple ecosystem shortcuts. It’s an app available for both iOS and Mac, and it provides a quick dashboard to view my reminders and events.
Another feature that I LOVE is the ability to add everything to my calendar. This allows me to share my accomplishments with others and track my progress by taking notes on my feelings during each session. It’s a tool that doesn’t feel like it’s wasting my time or a scam.
I’m committed to working harder and improving my productivity. Session has not only helped me achieve this but has also significantly improved my overall wellbeing. It’s convenient, frictionless, and the most helpful tool for managing my executive dysfunctioning.

Life Changing App!
I use this app constantly and for me it helps me manage my tendency to “overwork” and get so deeply in focus I don’t move my body. INFJ here so it’s not about ADHD it’s about managing my deep focus times. I love the ability to set up 90 min deep focus blocks. Well done!
제발 애플워치 전용 앱 출시좀 부탁드려요
나오면 진짜 계속 구독할거예요...다른거 쓰다보니 이게 uiux 다 마음에 들고 제일 좋았습니다 최고!
워치앱만 만들면 최고일것같아여

So useful
I hope session doesn’t die. It’s wonderful for helping me make sure I spend my time wisely and productively.
Dethroned Flow in a Few Sessions
Sessions beat out Flow almost immediately in my decision to test simultaneously. I'm only holding off on an annual subscription because my near-term workload is uncertain — not because of any hesitation about the app itself.
What sets it apart is hard to pin down precisely, but the granularity of control is a big part of it. The ability to choose whether a break ending automatically starts the next session, the variety of sounds for different events, the 2-minute warning, the "hey, this session ended 10 minutes ago — still there?" nudge — these details matter. So does the ability to extend a session, end one early without aborting it, and pause when needed. This flexibility lets me use Pomodoros in a way that works for me rather than rigidly adhering to the original method.
The categories and intentions are a nice touch too. I'm not actively reflecting on them yet, but they're building a documentation habit that feels worthwhile.
One feature I'd love: the ability to add a Pomodoro retroactively. I sometimes get into flow and forget to start the timer, and losing that session to the record is genuinely frustrating.
Highly recommend. The developer is also responsive and appreciates user feedback — always a good sign
