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.
