Focus on one thing at a time. PomoTimer splits your day into short focused sessions with real breaks in between. Start the timer, do one thing until it rings, then step away. That is the whole method, and it works. WHAT YOU GET - Classic 25 / 5 / 15 minute intervals, or set your own from 1 to 120 minutes - A long break automatically after every fourth session - Live Activity and Lock Screen countdown, so you can check the time without opening the app - Notifications and haptic feedback when a session ends - Light and dark themes that follow your system setting - A calm animated timer you can switch on or off - Works offline. No account, no sign-up MADE FOR Studying and exam revision, deep work, writing, coding, practising an instrument, chores, and time boxing for ADHD. Anything that goes better against a clock. REMOVE ADS ONCE PomoTimer is free with a small banner. A single in-app purchase removes every ad for good. No subscription, no trial. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Translated into more than 30 languages, including notifications and the Lock Screen timer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SimplePomoClock at weekly against Tomodoro's every 6 months. SimplePomoClock also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
