PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Set the timer, start the sprint, and give the next 25 minutes to one thing. PomoTick runs the classic Pomodoro Technique — 25 minutes of focus, 5 of rest, a long break every fourth round — for anyone studying for exams or trying to get real work done. The difference: your focus leaves a trace. Every completed session grows a plant in your garden. A distracted day looks bare. A focused week looks alive. That little patch of pixels turns out to be a surprisingly effective boss. WHAT YOU GET • One tap and the ring starts counting — 25/5 by default, or any length from 5 to 90 minutes • A garden that grows one plant per finished sprint, so you can see yesterday's effort instead of guessing • Breaks that run themselves — short breaks auto-start, and the fourth round earns the long one • Rain, café, forest, white noise, or ocean waves that keep playing with the screen locked • Tasks with their own colors and session goals — thesis, bar exam, client project — plus charts showing which one actually got your hours • A streak counter and daily goal that make skipping a day feel expensive PERFECT FOR • Students grinding through exam season one 25-minute block at a time • Writers and programmers who need the door closed on distraction • Remote workers whose five-minute break keeps becoming an hour • Anyone who has read about the Pomodoro Technique and wants it to finally stick WHY NOT JUST USE THE CLOCK APP A bare countdown ends and evaporates. PomoTick keeps score: sessions logged, streaks counted, hours charted by task over 7, 14, and 30 days — so Friday-you knows exactly what Monday-you did. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every session, task, and chart lives on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) PomoTick requires PomoTick Pro, which unlocks everything: all ambient soundscapes, unlimited tasks, 14- and 30-day charts with the focus-by-task breakdown, and all four garden themes — Meadow, Autumn, Sakura, and Desert Bloom. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Plant the first tomato: your next 25 minutes start with one tap.
