Plain Pomodoro is a focus timer with nothing in the way. Press start. Work for 25 minutes. When the timer ends you get a notification and a sound, and a 5-minute break starts automatically. Then it repeats — for as long as you keep going. WHAT IT DOES • 25-minute work sessions and 5-minute breaks, repeating automatically • Notification with sound when a session ends — even if the app is in the background or your phone is locked • Start, pause, and reset at any time • Adjust work and break lengths in Settings WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No account. No sign-up. • No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. • No analytics, no trackers, and no network access at all. The app collects nothing because it connects to nothing. That's the whole app. It does one thing, so you can too.
