## What is Tom Timer?

Tom Timer is an independent watch application to allow you to keep focused on a work task with reminders to take regular breaks.

Tom Timer avoids you having to pick up your phone, and the distractions that can cause, by providing all you need right on your wrist. Local notifications remind you when a cycle is completed and prompts to start the next cycle.  Work cycles are tracked allowing you take a longer break after several cycles of work and short rests. Use rests to do non focused tasks such as checking email and reward yourself with a long break after multiple work/rest cycles.

Complications allow you to easily see how long you have left for a particular cycle right on your watch face and provides easy access to start/stop a cycle.

Work, Rest and Breaks times, along with number of work cycles can be configured for your preferred work style.

## Key features

- Work and break reminders on your wrist
- Customizable work/rest cycle durations
- Longer breaks after multiple work cycles
- Watch face complications for quick access
- Local notifications for cycle completion

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2022-06-13*

Nice simple app, works very well. I wouldn’t complain if there was an option to automatically start the break timer at the end of the work timer, but other than that I have no complaints.

### 2/5 — I used this once and it had everything i was looking for

*2021-04-25*

but suddenly it disappeared from my watch??? I also can't find a way to re-download it in my watch? pls help. i really like this app.

**Developer response:** You should be able to redownload by going to App Store on your watch, select account then purchases. If it’s not there check you are using the same Apple ID you originally purchased it with.
