Pomodoro Focus is a calm, beautiful Pomodoro timer that helps you study, work and read with deep focus, and actually take your breaks. Start a 25-minute focus session with one tap. When it ends, a short break is ready; every third session earns you a longer one. Your timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never have to unlock your phone and get distracted. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Pomodoro or No breaks: classic focus and break cycles, or an open-ended stopwatch for long flow sessions • Live Activity: the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and start buttons • Smart breaks: a short break after every focus, a long break after every 3 sessions • Stats that motivate: focus time by day, week and month, your sessions and your day streak • Categories: track time for work, study, reading or anything you add, each with its own emoji • Ambient sounds: rain, forest, campfire, waterfall, thunderstorm and office noise to block distractions • Living backgrounds: Lava, Aurora, Silk and Mesh in 7 colors. Auto changes the color with every stage • Notifications when a focus or a break ends, even when your phone is locked • Start from anywhere: Control Center, the Action button, Siri and Shortcuts • iCloud sync across your devices • A small celebration for every finished session MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY No account, no ads, no clutter. Set your durations once (focus 10 to 90 minutes, short breaks 1 to 15 minutes, long breaks 10 to 40 minutes) and get to work. Great for students preparing for exams, writers, developers, remote workers and anyone who wants to beat procrastination with the Pomodoro Technique.
