Start, pause, and end focus sessions from your wrist, get haptic feedback for session transitions and breaks, check the remaining time, switch categories on the fly, and keep your streak alive even when your iPhone is out of reach. Complications put your next focus session one tap away from any watch face.

Both are free to download. Pomodoro Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Habit Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Habit Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pomodoro Timer has 53 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Pomodoro Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Habit Tracker's.
Pomodoro Timer ships an update fortnightly, Habit Tracker every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
