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. MADE FOR TIME BLINDNESS If time disappears on you, Flexo keeps it visible while the round runs and rings when it ends. The finish sound plays even with your iPhone on silent, and it is free on every tier. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT No ads, no sign-up wall, no account to create. Open it and start. FLEXO PRO Flexo is free to use: the timer, the finish sound, three saved sessions, three sounds to choose from, and your current day, week and month of stats. Pro unlocks: - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac - Ambient sound playing through focus rounds and breaks, with all nine loops instead of three - Browsing past days, weeks and months, not only the current one - Your full session history, instead of the last seven days - Stats by hours spent, not only rounds completed - Unlimited saved sessions, instead of three - A custom number of rounds before a long break - Auto-start for focus rounds and breaks Monthly, yearly or a one-time purchase.
