Light an ember. Focus for 25 minutes. Watch it burn down, one tick at a time. Focumo is a Pomodoro timer designed for calm. No clutter, no ads, no accounts — just a beautiful ember ring that keeps you honest, and the stats to prove you showed up. THE EMBER RING Every minute of your session is a glowing tick. As you focus, ticks burn out one by one; the active tick breathes slowly, like an ember. When the ring goes dark, you're done — take your break. Breaks refill the ring in cool sage and lavender. TASKS THAT COUNT TOMATOES Add a task, give it an estimate, and every finished session counts toward it. See 2/4 on the timer and know exactly where you stand. No projects, tags, or due-date guilt just what you're working on right now. STATS THAT KEEP YOU COMING BACK Today's focus minutes and sessions. A 7-day chart. A 14-day streak strip and a monthly heatmap. Your all-time totals and a per-task breakdown — all on your device. TIMER YOU CAN TRUST The countdown is anchored to the clock, not the app. Lock your phone, switch apps, even restart — your session survives. A notification tells you when time is up, and the countdown lives in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen. SOUND, IF YOU WANT IT Synthesized white, pink, and brown noise for focus. A gentle chime when the session ends. Or complete silence — your call. MAKE IT YOURS Custom durations for focus, short breaks, and long breaks. Auto-start options. Four themes, from ember-dark to paper-light. Seven languages — English, Tamil, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, and French — with full right-to-left support. FREE, PRIVATE, YOURS Everything in Focumo is free. No subscription, no ads, no tracking, no account. Your data never leaves your device. Start one session. That's the whole trick and it works.
