Pomodoro Timer is a focus timer for work and study: 25 minutes of work, a short break, and a long one every four rounds. You change any of those numbers. Nothing to sign up for. The timer runs against a fixed end time, so locking the screen, switching apps or iOS closing the app in the background does not stop it. WHAT IT DOES • Pomodoro timer with your own work, short break and long break lengths • Focus modes: ready-made presets and your own, each with its own lengths and sounds • Seven ambient sounds generated live — rain, forest, waves, fireplace and more • Live Activity and Dynamic Island: the phase and the time left on your Lock Screen • Home Screen widget • Stats by day and week: sessions finished and time focused • Auto-continue with a countdown before the next phase, or straight through • A notification the moment a session ends COMMON QUESTIONS Does the timer keep running with the screen locked? Yes. It counts against a fixed end time, so locking the phone, switching apps or even iOS closing the app in the background does not stop it. Leave notifications on and you get the alert when the session ends. Do I need an account? No. There is no login and no sign-up. Does it work offline? Yes. What is free and what is Premium? The timer, the breaks, the ambient sounds and the stats are free, with ads. Premium removes the ads and unlocks every focus mode and as many custom modes as you want. You can also unlock a mode temporarily by watching a short video. Can I change the 25 minutes? Yes, and the breaks too. The classic numbers are only the default. Where do I get help? Settings has a Help screen inside the app, with the questions people actually write in about.

About

antia

Features
Read full description

antia is a quiet place to write your life down. Write what matters — a memory, a passing thought, a voice note, a photo — and antia gathers it into your Route: a living map of the life you're actually walking. Writing is the act; the Route is what the writing becomes. There are no streaks, no goals, no guilt for missing a day. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Capture — Open a blank page and write, dictate a voice memo, or add a photo. Nothing is scored, paraphrased, or corrected. Your words are kept exactly as you wrote them. • Memories — Everything you've captured, gathered in one calm timeline you can return to. • Route — antia arranges your entries into a reflective, prose-like view of your life over time: the people, places, and turning points that recur. Tap a moment to sit with it. • Ask — Ask questions about your own past and get answers grounded only in what you've written. Nothing invented. • Sessions (optional) — Quiet, timed writing rooms. Write alongside others with anonymous presence only, or, if you choose, share an entry and read others' under pseudonyms. HONEST ABOUT THE AI antia uses LLMs to organize your writing and reflect it back to you. It retrieves, connects, and drafts on request, always grounded in your own memories. It never invents a memory or writes your life for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal is private to your account. No ads. No third-party tracking, no IDFA. Analytics are first-party only and can be turned off in Settings. Camera, microphone, photo, and location access are all optional — the app is fully usable with each one denied. You can export or delete your account and data at any time.
