Pomodoro timer for Mac, iPhone and iPad. A session starts your music and, on the Mac, a Focus mode; the break puts both back. One purchase covers all three. iPhone and iPad There is no menu bar to live in, so the dial takes the whole screen and the phase moves to the lock screen and the Dynamic Island as a Live Activity. It counts down there without the app, so the phone can go back in your pocket. The notification at the end arrives on time whether Tomatino is still running or not. Music comes from an Apple Music playlist or from a folder of files that Tomatino plays itself, the same two sources as on the Mac. Focus stays untouched, because iOS gives an app no way to switch it, and Spotify is the Mac's as well. Both are waiting in the version that comes with the same purchase: one price covers Mac, iPhone and iPad. One glance The elapsed time fills a scale, so one glance tells you how far in you are. Focus is red, breaks are teal, and the color alone tells you which phase is running. What else the timer does Times to fit the work 5 to 90 minutes, sessions per cycle, auto-start for sessions and breaks. Or neither, if you would rather start every phase yourself. Sound and notification At the end of every phase, on the Mac both switchable on their own. On iPhone and iPad the notification carries the sound, so it reaches you with the phone in a pocket. No server of its own Tomatino opens no connection to one, so there is nothing it could send anywhere, and it measures nothing about how you work. Spotlight, Shortcuts and Siri “Start Tomatino” and “Pause Tomatino” work from all three. In Shortcuts the start can take a work length, which then becomes your setting.
