A retro Pomodoro timer that does not push too hard. No tasks, no achievements, no leaderboards. Just something to help you get through one 25-minute session at a time. The original Focus Tomato earned a 4.9 / 5.0 rating, 27,000+ reviews worldwide, and multiple Apple editorial features. Focus Tomato 2 keeps the same spirit, now with focus tags, iCloud sync, and richer stats. Focus Tomato 2 is made to help you stay focused without feeling trapped. It helps you face the real work, keep going longer, and still leave room to breathe. Finish things gracefully, close the tomato, and enjoy your actual time off. — Q: You study for hours, but still feel like you are falling behind? A: Break time into 25-minute sessions, sit down, and ease yourself into focus. The Pomodoro method is simple: reduce distractions, lower procrastination, and make it easier to start and keep going. Q: You work hard for a few days, then lose momentum? A: Use a rhythm of 25 minutes of focus and 5 minutes of rest, so you do not burn yourself out all at once. Focus is not about forcing yourself to the end. Rest well, and you can go further. Q: You want to learn something outside school or work, but cannot keep it going? A: Focus Tomato helps you set aside dedicated time for long-term goals, then track them clearly with tags. Use tags like “content creation,” “design study,” or “exam prep” to track courses, video editing, reading plans, and more. One or two tomatoes a day can help long-term goals slowly add up, instead of being swallowed by small daily chores. — Core features: 1. No forced stop, so your flow can continue Many Pomodoro timers push you to stop when time is up. Focus Tomato only reminds you that time is up, without forcing you out of flow. 2. Editable timeline, with manual entries and adjustments Forgot to stop the timer? No problem. You can add or edit records manually, so your history stays closer to reality. 3. Start a break anytime, and take another if needed Rest is not just an add-on after focus. Accidentally worked through your 5-minute break? Take another one right away. Choose a short or long break whenever you need it. 4. Break overtime is tracked too, for better pacing If your break runs longer than planned, Focus Tomato keeps timing and records it. Rest is not blank space. It becomes part of your real rhythm. 5. Custom tags, paired with stats review Add tags to each focus session, such as “study,” “side project,” or “creation,” so you can see where your time goes and review your long-term progress in stats. 6. iCloud sync, so your records follow your devices Sign in with the same Apple ID and enable iCloud to sync focus records between iPhone and iPad. 7. Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widgets No need to unlock or open the app. Glance to see how much time is left, and check today’s tomato count right from your Home Screen. — Real reviews from the Focus Tomato series The original app has earned a 4.9 / 5.0 rating and 27,000+ reviews worldwide. Thank you for all your support! “Gorgeous Pomodoro app!” I’ve used a few Pomodoro apps, and most are too serious or too formal. This one has a sense of humor, and the tomato face is priceless. — Camilo Rodríguez Gaviria “I have ADHD, and this app became my favorite!” I love the images, sounds, and background noise. It is also simple, so I do not get overwhelmed by too many features. — SkyBlueFireDragon14 “Best Pomodoro timer” The interface is simple, beautiful, and has no ads. Background ambience can play in the background, and the overall experience is great value. — Me291537911 “Super cute” The art style is so fun, and the “someone behind you” mode made me laugh. Highly recommended. — juku

Some ideas arrive as a single word at 2am. Most never make it past that. Figmint is a calm home for those sparks, and a gentle collaborator that helps you grow them into something real. NEW IN 2.0 • A fresh look, and three places to work: Ideas, Do and Notes. • Map it: turn an idea into a simple flow chart, built only from your own words. • Pick a path: weigh your options against what matters to you, with every score explained. Then "What first?" sorts your plan by impact and effort. • Get unstuck six ways: name the blocker, make it smaller, flip it, see what usually stalls ideas like yours, pick a path, or talk it through. • Do: one list for today, tomorrow and later, with steps sent straight from your ideas. • Notes: write freely, and connect a note to the ideas it belongs with. MADE FOR iOS 27 • Map it from a photo. Snap a sketch, a whiteboard or a notebook page, and Figmint turns it into a chart you can keep. • Talk it through holds a real conversation that remembers what you said, then names one step to take. • Drag a to-do from today to tomorrow, or anywhere on your list. Figmint runs on iOS 18 and later. Map it from a photo needs iOS 27 on a device whose Apple Intelligence can read images. HOW IT WORKS • Jot a few words. That's the whole ask, no blank-page pressure. • Figmint asks one good question at a time to draw the idea out. Answer in a word or a paragraph: today, tomorrow, or whenever it strikes. • When there's enough to go on, it suggests ONE small first step. Not a daunting plan, just somewhere to start. • A light plan forms, and keeps changing as you do. • It quietly notices when two of your ideas connect, and offers a single suggestion to bring them together. MADE FOR MINDS THAT WANDER No streaks. No guilt. No "you've broken your chain." Figmint nudges you at most once a day, and only when it has something worth saying. It's built for the way creative and ADHD brains actually work: scattered, nonlinear, full of half-thoughts worth keeping. CAPTURE HOWEVER IT ARRIVES • Type it, or tap the microphone and just say it. • Point the camera at a whiteboard, a napkin, or a page of a notebook. Figmint reads the text and keeps the words. • Add from the Home Screen widget, the Share sheet, Control Center, or Siri. FIND IT AGAIN Search your ideas in the app or straight from your Home Screen, or ask Siri to open one by name. BRING YOUR OWN NOTES Point Figmint at a folder of notes you already keep (a Markdown vault, an export, anything in Files) and its questions start building on what you've already written. It only ever reads them. Nothing is changed, nothing is deleted. A SUBSCRIPTION-FREE APP, PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No subscriptions, ever. The AI is powered by the intelligence already on your iPhone, at no cost. • All the intelligence runs on your device. Your ideas, your voice and your photos are never sent to a server. • Speech and language features use Apple's on-device models. iOS downloads those models once, from Apple, the first time you use them. Your content is never part of that. • No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. • Your ideas sync only to your own private iCloud, across your devices. Figmint is for the woodworker, the songwriter, the knitter, the tinkerer: anyone with more ideas than time, who just needs a kind, quiet partner to help one of them come true. Plant a thought. Watch it grow.
