Focusin Pro is a Pomodoro timer that stays out of your way — a quiet pie-clock in your menu bar that fills as you focus. Click it and a glass clock face opens: drag the knob to set your session length, press play, and get to work. The dial counts down in minutes you can feel, right beside the menu-bar clock. When the session ends, Focusin rings, shows an optional celebration popup, and rolls into your break — a long one every fourth session. DESIGNED FOR THE MENU BAR • A live pie-clock countdown next to your clock, with an optional time label • One-click start, pause, and stop — no window to manage, no Dock icon • Pause for up to 5 minutes; step away longer and the session resets, keeping your stats honest • An optional session-complete popup you can't miss (and can switch off) • Adjust the session on the fly — drag the knob mid-timer to add or trim time WORK, THEN RECHARGE • Automatic breaks with their own green dial counting down your rest • Auto-start the next session after a break, if you like momentum • Set work and rest lengths with the dial knob or the steppers MAKE IT YOURS • Name your task — the title travels with your session everywhere • Windup, ticking, and ringing sounds, each individually switchable • 12- or 24-hour time, notifications, and display options ON EVERY DEVICE Focusin Pro includes iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch companion apps. Buy Pro once — on any platform — and every Pro feature unlocks on all of them. FOCUSIN PRO (subscription or one-time lifetime purchase) • iCloud sync — start on your Mac, watch it tick on iPhone and Apple Watch; pause anywhere and your task, statistics, and history follow • Statistics — three views: a Daily timeline, a weekly chart, and a monthly heat-map calendar that deepens to orange on your most focused days • Daily timeline — every completed session and break for the day, with start–end times, duration, and any paused time; delete an entry or copy the whole day as Markdown • Calendar logging — completed sessions are written to your calendar automatically, with one clean event per session across all your devices • Manual logging — missed a session, or worked away from your devices? Log it for any date and time in two clicks; it lands in your stats, Daily timeline, and calendar • Task history — re-select your most recent tasks with a single click, and pin the ones you return to A small tip jar is there if Focusin Pro earns a place in your day. Focusin Pro is built with the Pomodoro Technique in mind: 25 minutes of work, short breaks, a long break every four sessions. All durations are adjustable.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flow at 1.8K against Focusin Pro's 1. Flow also leads on device support (5 vs 3). Focusin Pro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Focusin Pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Focusin Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Flow ships an update every 4 weeks, Focusin Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
