Deep work, one tomato at a time. If you have downloaded a focus app only to find it gamifying your attention with dying virtual trees and guilt-tripped streaks, Pomoly is the calm alternative. It is a Pomodoro timer for adults who simply want to finish things — twenty-five minutes of focused work, five minutes of rest, repeat — the rhythm that has helped writers, engineers and students ship for decades, without turning concentration into a digital pet. The philosophy is simple: a focus timer should hold the clock so your brain does not have to, then step out of the way. There is no account, no cloud upload, no third-party server reading what you work on — your session tracker history stays on this device. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Start a session with one tap and the productivity timer runs whether the app is open or not, surfaced through a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, with Home Screen and StandBy widgets keeping the count glanceable. Apple Watch complications give full session control from your wrist, and Siri Shortcuts let you start a deep work block hands-free with a single phrase. Label each session with the task at hand, layer in ambient sound — rain, cafe chatter, forest, brown noise — and let gentle break reminders pull you out at the right moment instead of mid-thought. A clean weekly, monthly and yearly view shows where the hours actually went and which days were truly focus sessions versus context-switching. Custom intervals stretch this tomato timer beyond the classic 25/5 — 15/3 for short bursts, 50/10 for longer drafting blocks, 90/20 for ultradian-rhythm advocates and any combination in between. A task timer mode tags each pomodoro to a project so the writing hours, coding hours and study timer blocks are visible separately at the end of the week. Edge cases stay graceful: an interrupted session can be paused and resumed without breaking the streak, a sudden meeting can shorten the current block without ruining the day's record, and a long deep work stretch can roll without forcing artificial breaks. Auto-start of the next focus session is opt-in for those who want the rhythm to carry itself. The interface ships in 39 languages with VoiceOver accessibility, Dynamic Type and high-contrast support, designed for long writing sessions where eyes get tired. Everything works offline, including the timer, widgets, and the analytics. There is no analytics framework, no marketing email and no behavioural profile sold on. Whether you are a writer guarding drafting time, a student running a study timer, a developer in deep work, or anyone breaking out of constant context-switching, this concentration timer stays quietly in the background — a tool for time blocking, not another productivity game. Unlock with Pro: • Unlimited session history (free tier: last 7 days) • All widgets, themes and StandBy layouts • Custom intervals beyond classic 25/5 (15/3, 50/10, 90/20) • Advanced analytics — most productive hours, streaks, totals • Custom ambient sounds and data export in CSV or JSON Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.
