Pomodoro! Focus & Study Timer

Read full description

Focus first. Everything else is automatic. A Pomodoro timer that switches between 25 minutes of focus and 5 minutes of rest on its own. Every minute you spend on study, work, or reading is recorded for you. "How long did I actually work today?" "I meant to focus, but I picked up my phone again." One simple timer is enough to start changing that. ■ One tap to start No setup required. Tap once and your 25 minutes begin. Focus and break periods switch automatically, so you can stay with the task instead of the clock. Session length, break length, and the number of sessions are all adjustable, and your recent setups are one tap away. ■ Organize by color-coded categories Sort your sessions into categories such as Study, Work, Reading, or Exercise. Each one gets its own icon and color, so where your time goes is obvious at a glance. ■ See your effort add up Completed sessions are saved automatically and charted by day, month, and year. A calendar view and a streak heatmap turn the days you showed up into something you can actually see. Records can be edited or added later, so a day you forgot to start the timer isn't lost. ■ Set goals, feel the progress Set goals by session count or total time, such as 20 hours of study this month or 3 sessions a day. Per-category goals are supported too, and ring progress shows how close you are. ■ Earn trophies for showing up 3 days, 7 days, 30 days in a row. 10 hours a month, 100 hours a year. Each milestone unlocks a trophy, so your consistency leaves a mark. ■ Check the time without opening the app Live Activity support puts the remaining time on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Timing stays accurate in the background, and you get a notification the moment a session ends. ■ The same records on every device Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. iCloud sync keeps your records, categories, and goals identical everywhere. 【Great for】 ・Tracking study hours for exams and certifications ・Staying focused while working from home ・Building a habit of reading, morning routines, or exercise ・Understanding where your hours actually go ・Anyone looking for a timer that stays simple 【Good to know】 ・Every feature is free to use (supported by ads) ・No account or sign-up required ・Your records stay on your device and in your own iCloud Make focus a habit with Pomodoro!
