Pomodoro Planner helps you turn work into timed focus sessions. Keep a searchable task list, start a Pomodoro-style timer from any task, and track weekly usage in Statistics. Need a plan? Task Adviser can generate one on device with Apple Intelligence when it is available β€” or you can add tasks yourself. Open Quote of the day for a real attributed quote matched to your current tasks. Quotes ship in the app and can quietly gain new lines from a public list when you are online; nothing about you is sent. Goals, plans, and focus history stay on this device. Pomodoro Planner does not track you or use analytics.
