Stop letting a 25-minute timer break your flow. Flowmodoro is built on the Flowtime Technique: focus for as long as you're in the zone, then take a break earned from the time you actually put in. Prefer the classic method? A full Pomodoro timer is built in — pick either one and switch anytime. WHY FLOWMODORO The Pomodoro problem: you finally reach deep focus, and the timer forces a break. Your flow is destroyed. The Flowmodoro answer: work until you decide to stop. Your break is calculated from your focus time. TWO WAYS TO FOCUS - Flowmodoro (Flowtime): the timer counts up. Stop when you're done and your break is earned from your focus time. Set your own break ratio. - Classic Pomodoro: focus, short break, long break — your own durations and long-break interval, with presets to start from. FLOW ZONES Watch a session move from Struggle to Warm-up to Flow to Deep Flow as the minutes add up. You can see the moment you actually arrive — and you'll think twice before stopping. DEEP FOCUS: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS Choose the apps that pull you away and they won't open while the timer is running. Strict Mode removes the escape hatch, and a daily override limit keeps you honest when it doesn't. WHITE NOISE Nine ambient sounds — brown, pink, white, rain, ocean, underwater, wind, stream and fire — with volume control. It also keeps focus and break switching automatically while your phone is locked. LOCK SCREEN AND HOME SCREEN - Live Activity: your timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Home Screen widget: start, pause and stop without opening the app - Today's focus time and session count at a glance STATISTICS THAT SHOW PROGRESS - Daily and weekly trends - Monthly and yearly trends, activity heatmap and best streak - Category breakdown: see where your hours actually go - Session history you can edit - Export a full JSON backup or a CSV for analysis, and import to restore - Optional iCloud sync across your devices CATEGORIES Tag every session — Work, Study, Exercise, Reading, or your own — and filter any statistic by category. EIGHT LANGUAGES English, 한국어, 日本語, 中文, Deutsch, Français, Português, Русский. WHO IS THIS FOR - Students preparing for exams - Professionals who need deep work - Freelancers and creators - People with ADHD or focus challenges - Pomodoro users frustrated by interruptions FLOWMODORO PRO - Monthly and yearly statistics with category breakdown - Dark mode and theme colors - Auto-start the next focus session after a break - Export and import your data - No ads Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. THE FLOWTIME TECHNIQUE 1. Start your focus session 2. Work until you naturally need a break 3. Get a break length calculated from your focus time 4.
