Pomopush is a calm Pomodoro timer for studying and deep work. Nothing moves while you focus, so your work is the only thing asking for your attention. Made for exam weeks, a thesis and long days of focused work, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with an Apple Watch timer that works on its own. No account, no ads, no tracking and nothing to buy: everything in Pomopush is free, from the timer and widgets to Focus Sounds and the focus coach. WHY IT STAYS CALM • Nothing moves while you focus. Breaks breathe; focus stays still • No blocked apps, no feeds and no social network: you choose when to focus, and with whom • Data Not Collected: what you work on stays on your devices and in your own iCloud • The focus coach and Plan My Week work on your device, with Apple Intelligence where it's available FOCUS YOUR WAY • 25-minute sessions with short and long breaks, or your own rhythm • Focus Sounds: white noise, rain, the ocean, a fireplace or a low hum, made on your device; they fade out for your breaks • Focus Together over SharePlay: one timer with a friend on FaceTime, each with your own task • Wind the timer: drag the dot around the dial to choose how long you focus • Say what you're working on, or pick it from today's reminders • "+5 min" when a session ends while you're in the flow, and undo for a skip or reset • Focus mode that fills the screen, in portrait and landscape, in pure black on OLED • Freeze a paused session under a layer of frost to keep it for later • Share a page, an email or a note to Pomopush and it becomes your next session EVERY APPLE DEVICE • Apple Watch: a timer of its own with a full-screen ring, double tap to start or pause, the Digital Crown to set the length, and complications. Works without your iPhone • Start on iPhone and your timer follows on Apple Watch, iPad and Mac • Live Activity on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch • Widgets, a desk clock for StandBy, Control Center and the Action button • Siri and Shortcuts: ask for a timer in your own words, pause or resume by voice, or build a shortcut for a 50-minute session • CarPlay: the timer widget and Live Activity on your car's Dashboard KEEP DISTRACTIONS OUT • Suggestions that learn what you work on at each time of day, and the next step: after Chapter 4 comes Chapter 5 • Link a Focus such as Work to start a session automatically • Music from Apple Music that pauses for your breaks UNDERSTAND YOUR FOCUS • Statistics for the week, your best time of day and what you worked on • An honest focus coach that names what holds you back this week, written on your device with Apple Intelligence • Streaks, achievements, a weekly goal and monthly events • Plan My Week: name a task and when it's due, and Pomopush finds the time in your calendar at the hours you focus best • Finished sessions in a Pomopush calendar in iCloud, if you like • After a session, note how it felt as State of Mind in the Health app, and count breaks as Mindful Minutes if you like FOR EVERYONE • VoiceOver, Voice Control, Larger Text, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast and Assistive Access supported throughout • In English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish

Pomodoro timer for night owls: students, developers, freelancers. Track your focus sessions, study time, and productivity, even when you work past midnight. Cucumber keeps your work session together while other timers split it at 12:00 AM. WHY CUCUMBER? Traditional Pomodoro timers break your statistics at midnight. Work from 10 PM to 2 AM and you get "3 pomodoros yesterday + 3 today". Numbers that don't reflect your actual work. Cucumber groups all pomodoros into ONE work session because that's reality. Your 6 pomodoros stay together. Midnight doesn't interrupt your progress or break your streak. FEATURES • Pomodoro Timer: configurable work and break durations • Work Sessions: intelligent grouping that respects midnight • Visual Progress: tomato icons for each pomodoro completed • Session History: today, this week, this month, all time • Configurable Breaks: short breaks, long breaks, or none • Manual or Auto: transition between intervals automatically or manually • Persistent Timer: continues running after app restart • Notifications: get notified when intervals end • Keep Screen On: optional setting for active timer • Import & Export: back up your history and move it between devices • CSV Export: open your data in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers • Multi-Platform: Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux PERFECT FOR Students: study late for exams without losing your streak Developers: code through midnight without breaking flow Freelancers: work on your schedule, track accurately Remote Workers: manage time across any time zone Creative Professionals: writers, designers, musicians working late Shift Workers: night shift? Your stats work correctly HOW IT WORKS Cucumber groups pomodoros into work sessions based on natural breaks (8+ hours between sessions). Complete 3 pomodoros before midnight and 3 after. Cucumber shows 6 pomodoros in one session, because that's what actually happened. Built for people who work when they work, not when the calendar says they should.
