One tap to focus, and your countdown stays live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (on supported iPhones). TIMER ⢠Classic 25-minute Pomodoro. Set your own focus, short break, and long break lengths. A break starts automatically after focus by default. ⢠Count-up mode too: the timer counts up from zero. Tap Done to log the real time; sessions under 1 minute do not count. It shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island as well. ⢠Landscape layout. ⢠White noise while you focus. Four sounds: Lake Breeze, Soft Rain, Spring Forest, Pine Wind. TASKS AND TAGS ⢠Make a to-do list, pick the task to focus on, and see how many Pomodoros each task takes. ⢠Pick a tag before you start (defaults: Coding, Study, Writing, Reading, Meeting, or add your own). Stats show where your time goes. GOALS AND REMINDERS ⢠Set a daily goal. The stats page shows today's count and your streak. ⢠A daily reminder.
