FocusTimer is a Pomodoro timer that tells you where the hours actually went. Start a 25 minute session in one tap. Name what you are working on, and FocusTimer keeps a running total per project, so at the end of the week you know you gave the thesis 5 hours and the client 4, instead of guessing. FREE, FOREVER - 25/5/15 Pomodoro cycles, and every duration is yours to change: focus 5 to 60 minutes, short break 1 to 15, long break 10 to 30 - Long break after any number of pomodoros you choose, 2 to 6 - Auto-start breaks, auto-start focus, or full manual control - Automatic Do Not Disturb during a focus session, through Shortcuts - Session history, a weekly focus chart and a completion-rate trend - Two projects, and today's breakdown by project - Renaming and deleting your projects is free, and always will be - Runs with the screen locked and tells you when the session ends - Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up WHAT YOU FOCUSED ON, NOT JUST HOW LONG Tap the chip above the timer to pick a project. Every focus session you finish counts toward it. The report screen shows hours and a share of the total per project, so the number you report to a client or a supervisor is a number you actually measured.
