PomoDuo is a collaborative Pomodoro focus timer designed for pairs who want to stay accountable together. Whether you're studying for exams, working on a project, or building better habits, PomoDuo helps you and a partner commit to focused work and hold each other to it. FOCUS TOGETHER Pair up with a friend using a simple code. Start synchronized focus sessions where both partners follow the same Pomodoro cycle. See when your partner is active and stay motivated knowing someone is working alongside you. BLOCK DISTRACTIONS Select the apps that pull you off task and PomoDuo will block them during focus sessions using Screen Time. A custom shield shows your partner's name and an encouraging message, reminding you why you started.

Review your history to understand your patterns and build consistency over time.
