Pomo Easy is a plain, exact Pomodoro timer: a dial, a headline that says what’s happening, and a single button. Twenty-five minutes on, five off, and a long rest once you’ve done four. Change any of it. WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT • It never drifts. Pomo Easy keeps the end time, not a ticking counter, so locking the screen, a restart or a clock change can’t stretch a session. • It reaches you. Session alerts are Time Sensitive and arrive with the app closed, in a sound you pick. • It reads at a glance. The top of the screen says “12 minutes of focus left” or “Long break”, and a bar shows how far into the cycle you are. LOCK SCREEN, HOME SCREEN, WRIST • A Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown. • Widgets that roll over to the break by themselves, on your Home Screen or beside the clock. • On Apple Watch: whatever the iPhone dial is doing, with start, pause, skip and reset a tap away. PLAN THE HOUR • Attach a task and Pomo Easy tallies each finished session against it. Remove a session from History and the tally follows. • History shows today, the past week, your run of days and your strongest day. • On iPhone Duo, unfold for the whole cycle beside the dial. MAKE IT YOURS • Focus from 5 to 90 minutes, breaks from 1 to 60, two to eight sessions per cycle, and optional auto-start for breaks or focus. • Background noise for deep work: white, pink, brown, rain, café or ocean waves, still playing when the iPhone locks. • Eight accents, and the app icon changes to match. Dark mode comes in Graphite or Black. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Pomo Easy has no sign-in, no ads and no trackers. Sessions, tasks and settings are kept on this iPhone only.
