PICK A ROOM, PRESS PLAY Choose a scene — a cozy room, a rainy city, a late café — and start a focus block. Gentle rain, snow or drifting stars move in the background while the timer counts down. We pick the music, so there is nothing to decide before you start. A REAL POMODORO TIMER • 25/5 and 50/10 presets, or your own lengths (Premium) • Short and long breaks, round dots, auto-start options • Pause, skip and reset — and a notification when a block or break ends • Write down what you're working on, so the session has a purpose BROWN NOISE, RAIN AND FIRE Layer background sounds under the music or use them on their own: rain, brown noise, fireplace, pink noise and white noise, each with its own volume.
