FocusPomo is a Pomodoro-based time management app with a minimal and beautiful design, powerful features, and a rewarding sense of progress. Our mission is to improve and protect your attention. That’s why we don’t simply pile on features, and we don’t use addictive game-like rewards. FocusPomo is built to help you focus on one thing at a time. ## When you may need FocusPomo 1. You work hard, but still don’t feel real progress 2. Your study or work efficiency feels low 3. You get distracted easily and want to reduce procrastination 4. Important things keep getting delayed 5. You want to become more disciplined 6. You want different parts of your life to gradually get better 7. You have many things you want to do, but keep making slow progress ## FocusPomo Core Features 1. Real-time sync across all platforms. Sync through iCloud across Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, so your focus data always stays up to date. 2. A simple and easy-to-use focus timer. No flashy design, no complicated distractions. Everything is designed for a better focus experience. 3. Cute little tomatoes that make focus feel rewarding. Every completed Pomodoro gives you a cute little tomato. Your tomatoes accumulate each week, making effort more visible without turning focus into a distracting game. Tomatoes also support motion response and haptic feedback (motion response is currently supported on iOS only). 4. Powerful focus statistics. View focus trends, Pomodoro insights, and detailed data across different tasks and time ranges. 5. Calendar timeline. Reflection helps you improve. View your focus time distribution by one day, two-day comparison, or one week. 6. Optimized for iPad and Mac large screens. View more useful information and enjoy a focus experience designed for larger screens. 7. Mac support. View timer status, focus task, and today’s focus data from the menu bar. Start, pause, or end focus sessions without opening the app. 8. Apple Watch App that works independently. No iPhone needed. Start a timer, create or edit focus tasks, and manage focus directly on Apple Watch. ## FocusPomo Design Philosophy 1. Focus. We don’t build an all-in-one product. We focus on time management and help make your effort truly pay off. 2. Simplicity. Simplicity is not the goal. It is the result. Every feature and detail is carefully researched, considered, and refined. 3. Warmth. FocusPomo hopes to become a small quiet space for you, staying with you through your effort, focus, and growth. ## More Features * App blacklist to block distracting apps * Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, and interactive widgets * Live Activities and Dynamic Island * Landscape StandBy mode for focus sessions * Custom countdown timer * Stopwatch mode with pause support * Different focus tags can have different focus durations * Apple Health sync * Manually add focus time * Custom Pomodoro cycles, long breaks, and short breaks * Custom focus tags * Extend focus sessions * Alarm reminders * Focus trends by task and time range * Calendar timeline by 1 day, 2 days, or 1 week * Optimized for iPad and Mac large screens * The current Lifetime plan includes all future updates, including Watch and Mac * And many more features ## 6000+ reviews from users around the world, 59000+ five-star ratings “No bloat, no unnecessary features fighting for attention — just clean timers that keep me locked in.” “Collecting Pomodoros makes it a fun and unique experience.” “Simple but deep” “Helps me stay on track working from home.” “One of the very few apps I’ve kept in my phone… Definitely worth the penny.” Terms of Use: https://frill-butternut-b24.notion.site/FocusPomo-d3b536d0871b4492953dc03c8b39307b Privacy Policy: https://frill-butternut-b24.notion.site/FocusPomo-34c50acafe164386a327cd2cf2d0aafe
