FlowArc helps you turn plans into focused work sessions. It combines a Pomodoro focus timer, task manager, project lists, calendar planning, and clear progress stats in one calm workspace. Create tasks, estimate them with Pomodoro sessions, organize them by project, and start a focus timer directly from the task you want to finish. FlowArc keeps each session tied to real work, so your time records stay meaningful instead of becoming a loose stopwatch history. Use calendar integration to plan your day with scheduled task blocks, sync completed focus sessions, and review where your time went. On iPhone, Live Activities, notifications, and widgets keep the current timer visible even when you leave the app. With iCloud sync, your tasks, projects, settings, and focus history can stay available across devices. FlowArc is built for students, makers, writers, freelancers, and anyone who wants a quieter way to manage time, reduce context switching, and finish important work without losing track of the day.

You know that feeling when you sit down to work and suddenly two hours vanished into your phone? Yeah. We built Pomodora to fix that. Pomodora is a focus timer that actually makes you want to lock in. Start a session, put your phone down, and watch a live timer count on your lock screen while you crush whatever you're working on — studying, coding, working out, painting, writing, anything. When you're done, that session becomes a colorful block on your personal timeline. The more you focus, the more your day fills up. It's oddly satisfying. YOUR LOCK SCREEN BECOMES YOUR FOCUS COACH Here's the best part: you never have to open the app to check your timer. Pomodora shows a live countdown right on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Pause, resume, or stop your session from the lock screen. Your phone stays locked. Your focus stays locked in. A TIMELINE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO DO MORE Every focus session you complete appears as a color-coded block on a beautiful 24-hour timeline. Studying for an exam? See your sessions stack up. Grinding on a project? Watch your timeline fill with deep work. It turns productivity into something visual and motivating — you'll actually want to start another session just to fill the gaps.
