Tempo Focus is a Pomodoro timer, focus timer, app blocker, and personal time tracker with task tracking. Protect your attention and understand where your time goes. Plan the work that matters, start a focus session, put distracting apps out of reach, and keep a clear record of the time you spend on tasks, study, work, or personal projects. Tempo is designed to feel calm in daily use: simple when you need to begin, detailed when you want to review or adjust your time. Protect your attention beyond focus sessions with App Blocker Routines. Choose apps, categories, or websites, then schedule when they are blocked or set daily usage limits. Create boundaries for work, study, and free time. The Monitor page helps you understand your Screen Time. See which apps take up most of your time and how your usage changes over time, so you can decide where you want your attention to go. When you want a little extra access, Routines let you earn it through focus sessions or math exercises. Spend time reading, learning, or doing something you care about, then enjoy a small reward. Unlock requirements can increase with repeated use. Use Tempo to: - Run Pomodoro focus and break sessions - Plan and track tasks inside your focus flow - Start open-ended Stopwatch sessions - Block distracting apps during focus using Apple Screen Time - Choose default blocked apps or use Label Scenarios for different contexts - Organize focus time with labels - Add or edit entries when your day needs correction - Review session history, daily focus time, task time, and longer-term insights - Use Live Activities and Dynamic Island to keep the timer visible while you work Tempo is built for people who want structure without turning focus into another noisy dashboard.
