Take a breath. Pick one thing. Press start. Elegant Pomodoro Focus is an easygoing focus timer for people who would rather do good work than babysit another productivity system. Choose what you are working on, let the timer run, and enjoy watching the hours add up. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE No account. No sign-in. Nothing to set up. Your sessions, tasks, notes and plans live in a database on your device — not on our server, because we do not have one. There are no analytics, no trackers and no third-party SDKs anywhere in the app. The only time it touches the network is when you buy something, and that is a conversation with Apple. FOCUS • Classic Pomodoro, or Flowtime when you would rather stop at a natural break • Give every session a reason: pick an Area, an Item and a Task • Breaks with your own break activities • Ambient sound built in — gentle rain, ocean shore, wind chimes, brown noise, wooden flute — or bring your own tracks • Full-screen paintings from the public-domain collection of the National Gallery of Art PLAN • A simple day plan you will actually stick to • Tasks with priorities, time estimates and due dates • Optional two-way sync with Apple Calendar PROGRESS • Day, week, month and all-time views • Focus trends, a focus-versus-break split and per-area breakdowns • Searchable session history with notes • Export everything to CSV whenever you like FREE FOREVER The focus timer, your session history and CSV export are free. No trial clock, no nagging. PREMIUM — WHERE IT REALLY OPENS UP • Flowtime — when a session is going well, let it run and stop at a natural break • The day planner, plus optional two-way Apple Calendar sync • Searchable history, rich notes and analytics that show you your best hours • Unlimited areas, items and tasks • Your own music libraries, and the full gallery of paintings Try all of it free for 7 days.
