Focus Timer

Pick one task. Tap start. Twenty-five minutes later, it's done. Focus Timer turns "I'll do it later" into finished work. One task, one timer, one tap. The Pomodoro method does the heavy lifting for you: focus, short break, repeat, and a long break after every round. And you get proof, not guesswork. Every session lands on your timeline, in your charts and on your daily goal, so tonight you know exactly where your day went. WHAT YOU GET • A Pomodoro timer that runs the whole cycle for you: focus, short break, long break, with round dots that show where you are. • Your own rhythm: set focus, break and long break lengths and the number of rounds. • Auto-start: the next session begins on its own, so you never lose momentum between blocks. • Tasks with a built-in timer: start focusing straight from a task and see how long every task really took. • Study tracker: focus time, total time and sessions by day, week and month. • Session timeline: your whole day, every session and every break, on one line. • Daily goal: set a target and watch it fill up. • Streak and heatmap: see every day you showed up, and keep the chain going. • Session-end alerts and keep screen awake, so the timer never gets in your way. • App blocking: lock distracting apps while a focus session runs. They unlock when it ends. • iCloud sync: your sessions and tasks on all your devices, through your own iCloud. Optional. • Private by design: your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud. No account needed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a task. 2. Tap start and focus for 25 minutes. 3. When the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. 4. After four rounds, take a long break. 5. Check your timeline and your streak. Repeat tomorrow. BUILT FOR Students preparing for an exam, homework and long study sessions, and anyone who is done losing afternoons to procrastination.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: S3 AEC at none against Focus Timer's 6. S3 AEC also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.4). Focus Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
