Moment is a focus timer for deep work, made from a different starting point: that deep work is closer to wellbeing than to productivity. Whether you're settling into an hour of deep work or carving out twenty quiet minutes, Moment is built around how the work actually feels. You turn a dial to set five to ninety minutes, and when the time is up, it can gently ask, "How did that feel?" Four themes — Ocean, Air, Sand, and Forest — set a calm backdrop for your focus, each with its own optional ambient sound. Over time, your sessions gather into Stats on every Apple device you use, where on-device Insights from Apple Intelligence quietly surface the patterns in your focus. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Focus with a calm dial timer, from 5 to 90 minutes - Set an intention for each session, and reflect on it afterward - See your sessions and ratings gather in Stats, for a clear view of your focus over time - Read Insights that summarize your patterns, generated privately on-device with Apple Intelligence - Sink into four themes — Ocean, Air, Sand, and Forest — crafted around the Liquid Glass design - Add ambient sound and a soft ticking to help you set distractions aside EVERY APPLE DEVICE - Native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro - Your sessions sync across all of them with iCloud - Focus time saves to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes - Works with Siri, Shortcuts, Focus modes, widgets, and Live Activities WHY MOMENT The hours you give to something that genuinely matters are not a quota to hit or proof of your worth — and treating them that way is why work that should feel good so often feels heavy instead. Moment is built to help you reflect on that work, and on how it actually feels, rather than to push you through more of it. FREE FOREVER, WITH MOMENT PRO The Moment timer, with Apple Health, is free forever on every device. Moment Pro adds more, when you want it: - Pomodoro mode, with short and long breaks - Deeper Stats and on-device AI Insights - Advanced features on Mac and Apple Vision Pro Moment Pro is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tomato Timer ۬ at 4.7 against Moment's 3.7. Tomato Timer ۬ also leads on ratings volume (188 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Moment's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tomato Timer ۬ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tomato Timer ۬ has 188 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Moment's written reviews are positive against 80% of Tomato Timer ۬'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Moment ships an update every 4 days, Tomato Timer ۬ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
