PomoDuo is a Pomodoro focus timer built for two. Start a session with a friend and you share one timer: when you focus, they focus; when it's time for a break, you both take it. Knowing someone is working alongside you makes it easier to start and harder to quit. Add friends by username or with your friend link, then pick one and start. Choose exactly how long to focus and rest, to the minute, and PomoDuo keeps both phones in step through every round, pause and break. If one of you pauses, you both pause. To pair with someone just once, share a 6-character code instead. Studying alone? The timer works on its own too, with Live Activities on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can pause, resume or stop without opening the app. Put distractions away with app blocking. Choose the apps you want out of reach, and PomoDuo blocks them during focus rounds and lifts the block when you pause or finish. It uses Apple's Screen Time, so PomoDuo never sees which apps you pick. Stay motivated with your history and a friends leaderboard. See your focus minutes, rounds and streak, and how you compare with friends today, this week and all time. KEY FEATURES: • Shared focus sessions that keep two phones in sync • Focus and break lengths you set to the minute • Friends by username, friend link or one-time pairing code • App blocking during focus rounds with Apple's Screen Time • Live Activities and Dynamic Island controls • Focus history with streaks and a weekly chart • Friends leaderboard for today, this week and all time • Home Screen widget and Siri Shortcuts • Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support Privacy comes first. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your session history stays on your iPhone; only your focus totals are shared with the friends you add. PomoDuo is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
