A calm Pomodoro timer: focus labels, streaks, readable statistics and reminders that fit your week. No sign-up; your focus history stays on your phone. NO ACCOUNT. YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR PHONE. Your focus history, labels, reminders and settings are saved on your phone. There is no account to create, and your focus records never reach us. A CALM POMODORO TIMER ⢠Set your own focus and break lengths ⢠Pause, pick up where you left off, finish the cycle ⢠See how far you still are from today's goal ⢠Follow the countdown on the Lock Screen with a Live Activity ⢠See the timer in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones ⢠Check today's progress in the home-screen widget FOCUS LABELS, AND STATISTICS THAT SAY SOMETHING Give a session the label Work, Study, Read, Write, Code, Design or Deep Work ā or make your own. Pomi turns finished sessions into clear statistics: ⢠Your current streak and your longest ⢠This week's sessions and focus time ⢠Which hour of the day you focus best ⢠How much time each label takes REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR WEEK Create a reminder for any time and choose exactly which weekdays it repeats. You write the title and the message. The free tier allows two; Pomi Pro allows more. YOUR LOOK, YOUR LANGUAGE Choose the light, dark or system appearance. Pomi speaks 12 languages: English, Turkish, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. ADS THAT RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY The free version shows a banner and, now and then, a full-screen ad. The ads are never personalised, and Pomi does not follow you across other apps. Everything advertising and purchases need in the way of data is set out in the Privacy Policy. POMI PRO: ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Pomi Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase: ⢠No ads, ever ⢠Any color, even on your lock screen ⢠Monthly insights & trends ⢠More reminders The timer itself works in full without Pro. The store shows the price before you buy. Studying or working, Pomi keeps what matters from the Pomodoro method: start, stay, and let every session add up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FocusFlow at none against Pomi's shown. Pomi's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
