Wave is a simple pomodoro timer to help you stay focused while working. It alternates between a 25 minute focus mode and a 5 minute break mode while displaying beautiful animations. Wave also keeps your timer in sync with multiple devices and lets you stay on top of your timers with alert notifications! All your activity is anonymised and no longer stored after two days. Instead, Wave uses a data-minimal algorithm to provide recommendations for the best hours of the day when you are the most productive without compromising your privacy.
