First pomodoro-timer, which cares not only about your productivity, but also health and your joyful and quality time! Physical, as well as mental, condition is extremely important for achieving higher goals. So, Timer4Life is meant to improve both of these. Fight procrastination, stay focused during work at home/office, studying, doing chores, spending time with your baby, while practicing your piano or guitar skills – anything! Stop being exhausted after a long day, and get maximum pleasure from your daily routine! Classical pomodoro-method includes 25 minutes of work as opposed to 5 minutes of relaxation. Most people spend these 5 min on solving small tasks, chatting, reading news - they just continue overloading the brain. For our body and mind, rest is not just doing nothing. It is more like switching between different activities. First, your brain works, then your body. So, physical activity replaces intellectual one and vice versa. Smart time management doesn’t contradict wellness! Furthermore, you can always skip a workout if you don’t feel like exercising today and just have a short rest before the next cycle. What does Timer4Life offer? Classical pomodoro-timer with short activities during your 5-minutes breaks. Exciting videos with the set of smartly-chosen activities. Intuitively understandable interface. No chance to miss the start of the next cycle while exercising with notifications. All the features of a high-level productivity timer. In our opinion, a convenient pomodoro-timer should combine workability, reliability and simplicity. Thus, we developed the most user-friendly interface for comfortable work. No time-wasting actions are required! It’s easy to create a task, edit everything and start your productive work. It’s possible to set the most matching icon for each task, select the number of cycles and add other important details at ease. Do you know that the pomodoro method was developed in the 1980s by Francesco Cirillo? The classical approach has already proven its efficiency, but nothing perfect exists. We decided to upgrade it, so now you can try something: well-known, but updated; simple, but effective. Let’s make your way to smart time management enjoyable with Timer4Life! The free version of the app offers the following functions: - Ability to create 1 task for a timer - 1 video activity for the breaks between working cycles - No limit for the number of working cycles within 1 task The PRO version includes: - Ability to create unlimited tasks - Numerous activities videos for the breaks between the cycles - The background functioning mode for the timer - Subscriptions will be charged to your iTunes account at the time of confirmation of your purchase. - Our standard subscription options are: * one time purchase with no trial period * 1 week of free trial period, then one time purchase For other currencies, the price will be equivalent to the given price series in the App Store Pricing Matrix. - Subscription with a free trial period will automatically renew and switch to a one time purchase.

Flexo is a focus timer, pomodoro timer and time tracker for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Pick a length, start the round, and see where your hours actually went. POMODORO, YOUR WAY Focus, short break, focus, long break. Set each length with a slider, name the setup, give it a colour and an icon, and it is one tap away next time. Pro adds a custom number of rounds before the long break, and hands-free auto-start. TRACK WHERE THE TIME GOES Every finished round is recorded. See your day, week and month by rounds completed, and go back through the last seven days session by session. No streaks to defend, no guilt mechanics. FOCUS SOUNDS Nine ambient loops: metronome, timer, birds, white noise, light rain, wind, water, fire and cafe. Three are free to choose from. Pick one and decide whether it plays through your focus rounds, through your breaks, both, or not at all. ON EVERY DEVICE On iPhone the timer sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. On iPad it sits on the Lock Screen. Either way it keeps counting while you use other apps. On Mac it lives in the menu bar, one click away, no browser tab to lose. On Apple Watch it runs on your wrist and on your watch face, in sync with your iPhone. MADE FOR TIME BLINDNESS If time disappears on you, Flexo keeps it visible while the round runs and rings when it ends. The finish sound plays even with your iPhone on silent, and it is free on every tier. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT No ads, no sign-up wall, no account to create. Open it and start.
